How to Book an Antalya Airport Transfer (Step by Step)
Booking a private Antalya airport transfer takes about two minutes and needs nothing more than your arrival details. With bookridenow.com you enter your airport and destination, pick a date and flight number, choose a vehicle, and confirm — then a driver with a name sign meets you at arrivals. There is no prepayment: you simply pay the driver on the transfer day. This guide walks through every step, tells you exactly what to have ready, and shows what each screen asks for so there are no surprises when you land at Antalya (AYT) or Gazipaşa (GZP).
Before you start: what to have ready
You do not need much, but having these details in front of you makes the booking instant and accurate:
- Your arrival airport — Antalya (AYT) for most resorts, or Gazipaşa (GZP) if you're heading to Alanya and the eastern coast.
- Your exact destination — your hotel name, apartment address, or resort area (Side, Belek, Alanya, Lara, Kemer, Manavgat/Kumköy, or Antalya city).
- Your arrival date and, ideally, your flight number — this lets the driver track your flight if it's early or delayed.
- Number of passengers, including how many are children, so the right vehicle and any free child seats are arranged.
- A contact method — an email address and a phone or WhatsApp number for your confirmation and driver details.
If you're still deciding on the airport, route, or drive time, our complete guide to Antalya airport transfers covers every option in one place before you commit.
Step 1 — Enter your airport and destination
On the booking form you'll see a "From" field and a "To" field. Set "From" to your arrival airport — Antalya (AYT) or Gazipaşa (GZP) — and "To" to your destination. Start typing your hotel or area name and choose it from the list. If your hotel isn't listed, pick the nearest town or resort and add the full address in the notes; the driver still delivers you door to door.
Getting the destination right matters because the transfer is a fixed price based on the route. Popular routes each have their own guide if you'd like distances and drive times first: Antalya Airport to Side, Antalya Airport to Belek, and Antalya Airport to Alanya.
Step 2 — Add your date, time, and flight number
Next, select your arrival date from the calendar. You'll be asked for your flight number (for example, the code printed on your boarding pass or itinerary, like "XY 1234"). This is one of the most useful things you can provide: it enables live flight tracking, so if your plane lands early or runs late, your driver already knows and adjusts. You won't be charged extra for a delayed flight — waiting time for tracked flights is part of the meet-and-greet service.
If you're also booking a return transfer back to the airport, add your departure date and flight so the driver can time your pickup around your check-in. Round-trip bookings are handled on the same form.
Step 3 — Choose your vehicle
The form shows vehicle options sized by passenger and luggage count — typically a private car or minivan for couples and small families, and a larger van or minibus for groups. Each option displays its fixed price for your route and its passenger capacity, so you can match the vehicle to your party. Every transfer is private: you share the vehicle only with your own group, never with strangers, and there are no extra stops.
Traveling with little ones? Select the number of children when prompted and note that you'll need child seats — child seats are free and arranged in advance, so tell us the ages so the correct seat is fitted before you arrive.
Once you've compared the options, start your booking on our reservation page to lock in your vehicle and fixed price.
Step 4 — Fill in passenger and contact details
On the details screen you'll enter the lead passenger's name (this is the name that appears on the driver's meet-and-greet sign), the total number of adults and children, your hotel or full address, and your contact details — an email plus a phone or WhatsApp number. There's usually a notes box for anything special: extra luggage, a wheelchair, a golf bag, or an unusual pickup point. The more precise you are here, the smoother the pickup.
Step 5 — Confirm and receive your details
Review the summary — route, date, flight number, vehicle, passengers, and the fixed total — then confirm your booking. You'll receive a confirmation by email (and often WhatsApp) with your booking reference and all the transfer details. Because there is no prepayment required, you're not asked for card details to reserve; your booking is confirmed on the strength of your flight and contact information.
Keep that confirmation handy on your phone. It contains everything you need, and it's your reference if you ever want to change a date or add a passenger — just reply to it or message the number provided.
Step 6 — Meet your driver and pay on the day
When you land, clear passport control and collect your bags. In the arrivals hall your driver is waiting with a name sign showing the lead passenger's name. You then travel directly to your accommodation with no shared stops, and you pay the driver at the end of the transfer — cash is always accepted, and many drivers can take card too. This pay-on-the-day model is our standard: you only pay once you've actually met your driver and are on your way.
For airport-specific meeting-point tips, our Gazipaşa (GZP) transfer guide and Antalya Airport to Lara transfer article explain exactly where drivers wait.
Already planning excursions?
Once your transfer is sorted, it's worth lining up a few things to do. If you're staying near the coast, a boat trip along the Antalya coastline is an easy first outing, while day tours like jeep safari, Turkish bath, Pamukkale and Cappadocia are covered on our sister site side-turkey.com. Your driver can often drop you at these too — just ask when you book.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to pay anything when I book online?
No. There is no prepayment required. You confirm your transfer with your flight and contact details, and you pay the driver on the transfer day, once you've met them at the airport.
What if I don't know my flight number yet?
You can still book — just add the date and airport. However, adding your flight number later is strongly recommended, because it enables live flight tracking so your driver adjusts automatically to early or delayed landings. You can reply to your confirmation to add it.
Where exactly will my driver meet me?
Your driver waits in the arrivals hall after baggage claim, holding a name sign with the lead passenger's name on it. This meet-and-greet is included; you don't need to search for a desk or a shuttle stand.
How much does the transfer cost?
Every route has a fixed price shown on the booking form when you enter your airport and destination, so you see the exact total before you confirm. For current figures, enter your route on the booking page — prices vary by destination and vehicle size.
Are child seats really free?
Yes. Child seats are provided free of charge and fitted in advance. Just tell us how many children are traveling and their ages when you book, so the correct seat is ready in the vehicle.
Can I book a transfer from Gazipaşa (GZP) as well as Antalya (AYT)?
Yes. Both airports are covered. Choose Gazipaşa (GZP) as your "From" airport if you're heading to Alanya or the eastern resorts — see our Gazipaşa transfer guide for details on that route.
What happens if my flight is delayed?
Nothing changes for you. Because we track your flight number, the driver knows about delays in advance and waits accordingly. Waiting time for tracked flights is part of the service, so you won't be charged extra for a late arrival.
Can I book a return transfer at the same time?
Yes. Add your departure date and flight on the same form and your airport pickup will be timed around your check-in. Booking both legs together is the easiest way to secure the same fixed price in both directions.
