Landing at Antalya Airport with children and heading to Lara or Kundu? Here is the short version: BookRideNow runs private family transfers on this route in a Mercedes Vito for a flat EUR 35, covering 1 to 6 passengers — the same price whether you are two adults or a full family with grandparents. The drive takes roughly 20 to 25 minutes, child and infant seats are fitted free of charge before you land, your driver waits at arrivals with a name sign, and you pay in cash on the day — no prepayment, no card details. Book online in about two minutes at bookridenow.com and the airport side of your holiday is handled.
That is the whole pitch. The rest of this page explains why the private car matters more on a family arrival than on almost any other trip you will take — and exactly what happens from the moment your flight touches down.
Why Lara Is the Easiest Arrival on the Antalya Coast
Families choosing Lara and Kundu have usually done their homework. The big beachfront resorts, the sandy shoreline, the all-inclusive set-up — it is one of the most family-friendly stretches in the region. What many parents do not realise until they land is that Lara also happens to be the closest major resort zone to Antalya Airport.
Side is 60 to 75 minutes away. Kemer is close to an hour. Alanya is a two-hour haul. Lara? Twenty to twenty-five minutes. If you are travelling with a toddler who fell asleep somewhere over the Balkans, that difference is not a detail — it is the difference between a child who wakes up at the hotel and a child who melts down on a coach that is still making its fourth stop.
Short transfer plus private car is the calmest possible combination, and Lara is the one destination where you get both.
Door to Door: What the 20–25 Minutes Actually Look Like
The route is simple: out of the airport, onto the main coastal road east, and into the Lara/Kundu hotel strip. There is no mountain pass, no long motorway stretch, nothing that turns a tired child's stomach. Your driver takes you to the door of your hotel — not a drop-off point, not the end of a driveway.
Because we track your flight, the timing works itself out. Delayed two hours? The driver adjusts. Early? The driver is already there. You will find them in the arrivals hall holding a sign with your name on it — no hunting for a bus bay with a luggage trolley and a pram.
A realistic timeline for a family of four:
- Landing to arrivals hall: passport control and bags at your own pace — your driver waits, there is no meter running.
- Meet & greet: name sign at arrivals, help with luggage and the pushchair.
- Seats already fitted: the child and infant seats you requested are installed before you reach the vehicle.
- Drive: 20–25 minutes, one stop only — your hotel.
- Payment: cash to the driver at the end. Nothing was charged in advance.
Compare that with a shared shuttle: waiting for other flights, a seating lottery with no proper child restraints, and a tour of six hotels before yours. On a short route, the shuttle can easily take three times as long as the drive itself.
Honest Pricing: EUR 35 Flat, and What "Flat" Means
Our Mercedes Vito price from Antalya Airport to Lara is EUR 35, flat for 1 to 6 passengers. Flat means exactly that: no per-person supplement, no charge for the second child seat, no luggage fee, no night surcharge. A couple pays EUR 35. A family of six pays EUR 35.
For context, here are our real Vito anchors from Antalya Airport across the coast:
| Destination | Vito price (flat, 1–6 pax) | Approx. journey time |
|---|---|---|
| Lara / Kundu | EUR 35 | 20–25 min |
| Antalya city centre | EUR 43 | 15–25 min |
| Belek | EUR 45 | 35–45 min |
| Side | EUR 50 | 60–75 min |
| Kemer | EUR 55 | 55–70 min |
| Alanya | EUR 75 | ~2 hours |
Lara is the least expensive private transfer we run from the airport — a side effect of being the closest. If you are weighing this against a taxi from the rank, remember the taxi price is whatever the meter and the traffic decide; ours is agreed before you fly. A full breakdown of route costs is in our Antalya airport transfer price guide.
And the payment model deserves a second mention, because parents consistently tell us it is the thing that won them over: you pay the driver on the day, in cash. No deposit, no online card form, no prepayment risk. If your plans change, cancellation is free. You are never out of pocket for a trip you have not taken.
Child Seats: Requested at Booking, Fitted Before You Land
This is the heart of a family transfer, so let us be precise about how it works with us.
When you book, you tell us the ages of your children. We fit the appropriate seats — infant carrier, toddler seat, or booster — before the vehicle leaves for the airport. They are free. You do not pay per seat, and you do not need to lug your own seats through two airports unless you prefer to (if you do bring your own, the driver will help you fit them).
Why does this matter? Because the alternative on this coast is usually a taxi with no child restraint at all, or a shuttle where a lap is considered a seat. We have written in more detail about how child seats work on airport transfers and what Turkish car seat rules mean for arriving families — the short version is that a properly fitted seat is not a luxury add-on, it is the baseline, and with us it costs nothing extra.
The Vehicles
Mercedes Vito — the family workhorse. Up to 6 passengers with genuine space for a holiday's worth of luggage, a folded pram, and a beach bag or three. Air-conditioned, and the flat 1–6 pricing means you never squeeze into a smaller car to save money.
Mercedes Sprinter — up to 16 passengers, for the big multi-family arrivals: grandparents, cousins, two prams, everyone on the same flight. Lara Sprinter pricing is quoted individually — send your group size and flight details on WhatsApp and you will have a fixed price back in minutes.
Mercedes Maybach — the VIP option for up to 6, if you want the arrival to feel like part of the holiday. Also quoted via WhatsApp.
Every vehicle is private. We never combine bookings, so your family is the only family in the car — no strangers, no extra stops, and nobody watching impatiently while you buckle a car seat.
The Water-Park Connection: Why Lara Families Book Us Twice
Here is a pattern we see every summer: a family books the airport run to Lara, then messages us mid-holiday because the kids have discovered Antalya's water parks. Aqualand and the region's other slides-and-wave-pools days are a staple of a Lara family holiday, and the same private-car logic applies — wet, exhausted children do not belong on a crowded return shuttle.
We have a full guide to Antalya water park transfers, including Aqualand. The practical point: hotel-to-attraction rides are custom services, so they are priced by WhatsApp — message +90 536 603 75 84 with your hotel and the park, and you get a fixed quote in minutes. Many families sort the airport transfer online and save our number for everything else.
Night Arrivals with Children
A large share of package flights into Antalya land after 22:00, and charter delays push plenty past midnight. We operate 24/7 at no extra charge — the EUR 35 Lara price is the same at 03:00 as at 15:00.
For a family, a late arrival is where the private transfer earns its keep most obviously. The driver has tracked your delayed flight, the seats are fitted, and 25 minutes after the arrivals hall your children are in actual beds. There is no waiting in a night-time car park for a shuttle to fill. If you are landing late, our guide to late-night Antalya airport transfers covers what to expect in detail.
