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.

Why Choose Private Transfer Over Shuttle?

While shuttle buses do operate from Kayseri Airport, they come with significant drawbacks. Shuttles make multiple stops at different hotels across various towns, often taking 100-140 minutes to reach Ürgüp since it's typically one of the last stops on the route. They operate on fixed schedules that may not align with your flight, and you may find yourself waiting for the bus to fill up before departure.

A private taxi transfer offers door-to-door service on your schedule. Whether your flight lands at 3 AM or 3 PM, your driver will be there. For groups of 2-4 passengers, the per-person cost of a private taxi is often comparable to shuttle prices while offering significantly more comfort and convenience. You'll arrive at your Ürgüp cave hotel relaxed and ready to explore.
