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.

  1. Book on WhatsApp

    Send your flight number, date, number of passengers and hotel. You get a written confirmation and a fare estimate.

  2. Land and message us

    We follow your flight. If it is late, the pickup time moves with it at no extra charge.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.
