When Should You Book?
During peak tourist season (June–September), vehicle availability decreases and prices rise. Keep the following in mind to secure the best option:
- Book at least 2–3 weeks in advance for the summer season.
- Early bookings usually come with free cancellation.
- Keep your transfer flexible against flight delays or cancellations — a reliable provider will wait for you.
How Does the Meet & Greet Work?
With a professional transfer service at Antalya Airport, the meet-and-greet process works as follows:
- Your driver will be waiting in the arrivals area holding a sign with your name on it.
- You are given enough time to collect your luggage — the driver will wait for you.
- The vehicle is brought to the door and you are taken directly to your accommodation.
- Thanks to flight tracking, any delays are automatically monitored.
Which Vehicle Is the Right Choice?
Choosing the right vehicle for your group size and budget matters for both comfort and cost.
| Vehicle Type | Capacity | Suitable For |
|---|---|---|
| Sedan | 1–3 people | Couples, business travel |
| Minivan | 4–6 people | Families, small groups |
| Minibus | 7–12 people | Large groups, teams |
For groups of more than 3 people, a minivan is the most economical choice; for more than 6 people, a minibus. On long-distance transfers (Alanya, Kas, Fethiye), air conditioning and luggage capacity are especially important.
