I'm going to save you money. Possibly a lot of money.
Airport transfers in Turkey are a minefield of overpriced options and tourist traps. Here's what things actually cost — and what you should never pay.
| What They Charge | What It's Worth | The Verdict |
|---|---|---|
| Airport Taxi: €350 | Should be €200 max | RIP-OFF |
| Private Transfer: €230-290 | Fair price | REASONABLE |
| Shared Shuttle: €15-25/person | Good deal | FAIR |
| HAVAS Bus: €8-12 | Cheap | BARGAIN |
Let's be direct: airport taxis at Dalaman charge around €350 to Fethiye.
A private transfer — same journey, better service — costs €230-290.
You're paying €60-120 extra for... what exactly? The privilege of no booking? The joy of negotiating with drivers?
I've seen tourists happily jump in airport taxis because "it's easier." They just paid 50% more for worse service.
Don't be that tourist.
The €5 MUTTAS bus sounds great until you realise:
A shared shuttle straight to Ölüdeniz? €20-25 per person.
The "cheap" option was actually more expensive. Oops.
Never take an airport taxi unless literally no other option exists
Book transfers before you travel — walk-up prices are always higher
Calculate the full journey cost — bus + onward taxi often beats "cheap" bus
Travel as a group — private transfers become bargains with 4+ people
Book return at the same time — bundle discounts save 10-15%
Stick to established platforms with reviews and cancellation policies:
Avoid random guys with signs outside arrivals offering "special price, my friend."
| Don't Pay | Do Pay |
|---|---|
| €350 taxi | €230-290 private transfer |
| €40+ for bus + taxi combo | €20-25 shared shuttle direct |
| Whatever the first guy quotes | Prices you researched beforehand |
Your holiday budget deserves better than funding overpriced airport taxis.
