Best Antalya Airport transfer 2026: options and prices compared
Written by Vixride. We are a transfer company and one of the options on this page. Details about other companies come from their own public websites and help pages, checked on 19 October 2026. Prices and terms can change, so confirm them before you book.
There is no single best transfer for everyone. The city bus is the cheapest way out of Antalya Airport (AYT) but does not reach resort hotels. For Lara, Belek, Side, Kemer or Alanya the most predictable choice is a pre-booked private transfer with a fixed price per vehicle: with Vixride from €35 to Lara, €40 to Belek and €65 to Alanya, paid to the driver, with free cancellation (please let us know at least 24 hours in advance). Booking platforms such as Kiwitaxi, Suntransfers or Welcome Pickups suit you if you want to pay online in advance; the airport taxi runs on the meter.

| Private transfer, local operator (e.g. Vixride) | Fixed per vehicle, set when you book | Yes | Vixride: to the driver, cash or card | Families, groups, late arrivals, resorts far from the airport |
| Booking platform (Kiwitaxi, Suntransfers, Welcome Pickups) | Fixed at booking; a local partner drives | Yes (shared shuttles stop at several hotels) | Mostly online in advance | Travellers who prefer to prepay by card |

Antalya city buses connect the airport with the city centre and the main bus station (otogar); from there you continue by local bus or taxi.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lara | 15 km | ~20 min | from €35 | €24–28 |

Vixride: Economy Sedan (Mercedes E-Class, up to 3 passengers). FirstClass Van (Mercedes Vito, up to 6) and Vip Sprinter (up to 16) are priced on each route page. Included: motorway and parking fees, 60 minutes of waiting after landing, child seats.
*Estimate from the official taximeter tariff for Antalya (central zone): opening fee 40 TL + 50 TL per km (tariff since 23 March 2026); upper figure +20% for slow traffic and waiting; converted at €1 = 55.21 TL (Central Bank of Turkey, 9 October 2026); €10 added to both figures to match fares charged at the airport in practice. The real meter fare depends on traffic and the route taken.
Antalya Airport has International Terminal 1, International Terminal 2 and a Domestic Terminal. Your terminal is on the booking or in the airline app. With your flight number the driver follows the actual landing and waits at the right terminal exit with a name sign.
How to choose a transfer company (checklist)
- Licence: in Turkey a travel agency needs a TÜRSAB licence and passenger transport a D2 authorisation from the Ministry of Transport. Ask for the numbers.
- Who drives: does the company run its own vehicles, or does a platform pass your booking to a local partner?
- Price per vehicle or per person, and what is included: tolls, waiting time for delayed flights, child seats, night rides.
- Payment and cancellation: when you pay (online in advance or to the driver) and until when you can cancel for free.
- Meeting point: where the driver waits (arrivals exit, name sign) and how long, and what happens if you land at another terminal.
- Recent reviews on independent sites (Google, TripAdvisor), not only on the company's own website.
