In British and American English, "cab" usually means the same thing as "taxi" — but in Antalya, the safer and cheaper option is a pre-booked private Mercedes cab from a TÜRSAB-licensed operator. Yellow city taxis exist but cost 50-100% more.
Cab booking in Antalya works best via WhatsApp — message your hotel name and flight number, get a fixed EUR price back in 5 minutes, pay the driver on arrival in EUR/USD/GBP/TRY or by card. No app to download, no deposit, no surprise charges.
Standard private cab fares: €16 to Antalya city, €20 to Lara, €26 to Belek, €36 to Kemer, €36 to Side, €59 to Alanya. Each fare covers up to 3 passengers in a Mercedes E-Class; larger vehicles (Vito 7-seat, V-Class 6-seat, Sprinter 16-seat) are quoted on request.
For 2 or more passengers, almost always yes — typically 30-50% cheaper than the yellow-taxi meter, with no night surcharge and no luggage fee. The price is also fixed before you board, eliminating surprise.
