Ask five people what an Antalya airport taxi costs and you'll get five different answers — it depends on the meter, the time of day, the route the driver takes, and how busy the rank is when you land. Antalion removes that uncertainty by having the price agreed and paid before your driver even sets off.
Metered taxi vs. pre-booked transfer
A metered taxi from the rank outside arrivals is a legitimate, regulated option, and during quiet periods it can be the fastest way to leave the airport. The trade-offs are that the final fare is only known on arrival at your destination, queues can stretch to 20–30 minutes during the summer peak, and the vehicle size is whatever happens to be next in line — not necessarily right for a family of five with surfboards.
With a pre-booked Antalion transfer, licensed drivers bid for your specific route in advance. You choose the offer, the price is fixed the moment you accept it, and the vehicle is matched to your passenger and luggage count from the start.
How the price compares
Because drivers actively compete to win your booking, the accepted price is often close to — or below — what a metered taxi would charge for the same distance, but you know the number in writing beforehand. As a rough starting point before bidding brings it down, expect approximately €1 per kilometre:
- To Lara / city centre (~12 km): roughly €12–20
- To Belek (~35 km): roughly €30–42
- To Kemer (~45 km): roughly €40–55
- To Side (~65 km): roughly €55–72
- To Alanya (~130 km): roughly €110–140
These are indicative ranges. The actual figure is whatever the winning bid turns out to be on your specific request, and it is not uncommon for it to land below these numbers once several drivers have undercut each other.
No cash changes hands in the vehicle
Unlike a street taxi, you don't pay your Antalion driver directly — the fare is settled with Antalion online beforehand, and the driver is paid separately afterwards. That means no fumbling for small change, no currency-exchange guesswork, and a receipt in your inbox the moment you book.
Booking ahead of arrival
Requests can be posted up to 24 hours before pickup, though most travellers book once their flight is confirmed. Your flight number is tracked automatically, so delays are handled without any extra phone calls or fees.
