How your airport pickup works
City taxis may not collect passengers inside the airport grounds, so we meet you just outside. Here is exactly what happens.
Book on WhatsApp
Send your flight number, date, number of passengers and hotel. You get a written confirmation and a fare estimate.
Land and message us
We follow your flight. If it is late, the pickup time moves with it at no extra charge.
Walk to the bus stop
The meeting point is the municipal bus stop outside the airport's main entrance gate, about 500 m from the terminal. We send you the location pin.
Ride to your hotel
Taxi 38 T 1018 takes you straight to your hotel door. The meter runs, and you pay at the end.
The rule comes from Article 21(1)(ii) of the Kayseri Metropolitan Municipality Regulation on Commercial Taxis and Taxi Stands (Council Decision 2025/383). Read the regulation (PDF, Turkish). For departing flights we drop you at the terminal as usual.
Getting Around Kayseri Without the Stress
Kayseri is a large city with a compact historic center. The Citadel, the Great Mosque, the covered bazaar and Seljuk-era tombs are all within walking distance of each other, and many visitors spend a day here before or after Cappadocia.
For a traveller who does not speak Turkish, the hard parts are the transfers: finding a taxi at the airport or the bus station late at night, explaining an address, and knowing the fare is fair. We solve that by confirming your ride, pickup point and fare estimate in English on WhatsApp before you travel.
Every ride is in a licensed yellow taxi with the taximeter running, so you pay the official city tariff.
- English support on WhatsApp 24/7
- Taximeter always on
- Airport, bus and train station pickups (outside the grounds)
- Intercity rides on request
