When tourists search "antalya taxi" they almost always mean the airport-to-hotel ride. The yellow city cab quotes €45-60 on the meter; our fixed-price private Mercedes does the same Antalya–Belek run for €26 with flight tracking, child seats and a meet-and-greet driver.
Yellow-cab fares are metered (start at 5.50 TRY + 4.90 TRY/km), with a 50% night surcharge between 22:00-06:00 and a €1-2 luggage fee per bag. A typical AYT → Belek ride comes in at €45-60 in summer, €60-80 at night. Our private Mercedes is €26 fixed regardless of hour or season — no luggage fee, no night surcharge, flight tracking included.
Almost never for a planned trip. The only scenario where flagging an Antalya yellow cab makes sense is if you forgot to pre-book and need a 60-second pickup at the rank. For everything else (delays, child seats, larger group, fixed budget), our pre-booked private Mercedes is cheaper and more comfortable.
Antalya taxi rate as published by the municipality: 5.50 TRY base + 4.90 TRY/km, 50% night surcharge 22:00-06:00. A 35 km Belek ride is therefore ~7.50 EUR base + 6.10 EUR/km ≈ €45 daytime, €68 at night. SooTransfer fixed price: €26. The math is rarely close.
Yellow taxi meter: €45-60 daytime, €60-80 at night. SooTransfer private Mercedes: €26 fixed at any hour.
