Yes — you can arrange a wheelchair-accessible, step-free private transfer from Antalya Airport (AYT) or Gazipaşa-Alanya Airport (GZP). The key is to tell us your needs in the booking notes: whether you use a foldable or fixed-frame wheelchair, need low-step boarding, extra time, or help with luggage. We then assign a vehicle and driver suited to you, with a fixed price agreed in advance.
This isn't a special add-on you have to hunt for. Travelling with reduced mobility, or with elderly parents who tire on stairs and long walks, is exactly what a private door-to-door service handles well — no queues, no shared shuttle stopping at ten hotels, and a driver who meets you at arrivals and does the lifting.
How to request an accessible transfer
When you book at bookridenow.com/en, the most important field is the notes box. The more you tell us there, the better the match. Please mention:
- Whether the traveller uses a wheelchair, and if it is foldable (stores easily in the boot) or a rigid/electric frame (needs more space or a larger vehicle).
- Whether you can transfer into a standard car seat with help, or need a genuinely step-free, low-entry vehicle.
- How many people are travelling and roughly how much luggage — a folded wheelchair plus suitcases changes which vehicle we send.
- Any mobility aids you're bringing: walking frame, rollator, crutches, or a mobility scooter.
- Whether you'd like extra time and a slower pace at both ends.
Add these details at the quote stage rather than on arrival day. It lets us confirm the right vehicle is free and brief the driver before your flight even lands.
Wheelchair storage and vehicle choice
A standard folding wheelchair fits comfortably in the boot of most of our vehicles once collapsed. Larger, rigid or powered chairs need a bigger van with a wide rear or side opening, so we simply size the vehicle to the chair — that's why the description in your notes matters. If you're unsure how your chair folds or how heavy it is, tell us the make and model and we'll work it out.
For fully step-free travel where the passenger stays seated in their own chair, please flag this clearly when you book so we can confirm suitability for your route and dates in advance. Being specific up front avoids any surprise at the kerb.
Help with luggage and boarding
Your driver meets you inside arrivals with a name sign, so there's no wandering the terminal looking for a pickup point. From there they take the trolley, load every case, and are on hand to steady an arm, fold and stow the wheelchair, and help each passenger settle before setting off. On the way out at the end of your holiday, the same applies in reverse — collection from your hotel door, luggage loaded, no rush.
If you've never used the airport before, our Antalya Airport arrivals guide walks through exactly where the meet-and-greet happens and what to expect after passport control — useful reading if walking distances are a concern.
Extra time, and travelling with elderly parents
Older travellers and anyone with reduced mobility often just need the day to move at their pace. A private transfer builds that in: no strangers waiting on you, no shuttle timetable, and a driver who understands that boarding and unloading take a few minutes longer. Journey times vary with traffic and season anyway — a resort that's roughly 45 minutes away in quiet spring traffic can take noticeably longer in peak August — so we never treat the clock as a reason to hurry you.
If you're bringing children as well as an older relative, note that we also provide free child and infant seats on request, so a multi-generation family can travel together in one vehicle. See our family transfer and child seats guide for how that works alongside accessibility needs.
Why book a private accessible transfer with us
An accessible airport transfer only works if the details are handled quietly and reliably. Here's what you can count on:
- Meet & greet at arrivals with a name sign — you're found, not left searching.
- The right vehicle for your needs, matched to your booking notes rather than whatever turns up.
- Fixed price agreed at booking — no meter, no surcharge for a wheelchair, no surprises at the door.
- Free flight tracking and free waiting time, so a delayed or slow disembarkation costs you nothing.
- Free child and infant seats on request for families travelling together.
- Licensed D2 drivers — Turkey requires a D2 licence for intercity passenger transport, and ours have it — who are used to assisting passengers with luggage and boarding.
You can pay on the day of travel by cash or card, or online in advance — whichever is easier. For the full picture of how private transfers work end to end, our complete Antalya airport transfer guide covers booking, routes and timings, while the transfer price guide explains what shapes the fare. Prices depend on distance, vehicle size and season, so the quickest way to see yours is the instant quote at /en.
Flying into Gazipaşa instead?
If your flight lands at Gazipaşa-Alanya (GZP) rather than Antalya, the same accessible service applies — just add your needs in the notes as usual. Our Gazipaşa (GZP) transfer guide explains the airport and typical routes toward Alanya and beyond.
Once you've settled in
Accessibility varies a lot between activities, so choose gentle options and always check ahead. If a relaxed day on the water appeals, a calm Green Canyon boat trip can be an easier outing than a walking excursion, since you board once and stay put. Contact any excursion provider directly about step-free boarding before you commit.

Frequently asked questions
How do I request a wheelchair-accessible transfer from Antalya Airport?
Book at bookridenow.com/en and use the notes box to describe your needs — the type of wheelchair, whether you need step-free boarding, and how much luggage you have. We then assign a suitable vehicle and brief the driver before you arrive. Adding this at the quote stage is far better than mentioning it on the day.
Can you carry an electric or non-folding wheelchair?
Larger, rigid or powered chairs need a bigger van with a wide opening, so we size the vehicle to the chair. Please tell us the make, model and rough weight when you book, and flag if the passenger needs to remain seated in their own chair, so we can confirm suitability for your route and dates in advance.
Is there an extra charge for a wheelchair or accessibility needs?
Your fare is a fixed price agreed at booking based on distance, vehicle size and season — there's no separate surcharge for carrying a wheelchair. If a larger vehicle is required for a big or powered chair, that's reflected in the quote you see upfront, with no surprises at the door.
Will the driver help with luggage and boarding?
Yes. Your driver meets you at arrivals with a name sign, takes the trolley, loads all your cases, folds and stows the wheelchair, and helps passengers board safely. The same assistance applies on the return leg from your hotel. They're used to giving passengers the time they need.
What happens if our flight is delayed or we're slow to come out?
We track your flight for free and include free waiting time, so a late landing or a slow disembarkation costs you nothing. The driver simply waits until you reach arrivals — there's no meter running and no pressure to rush through the terminal.
Can we travel with an elderly parent and children in the same vehicle?
Absolutely. A private transfer keeps a multi-generation family together in one vehicle, and we provide free child and infant seats on request alongside any mobility support. Just list everyone travelling and their needs in the booking notes so we send a vehicle with enough space.
Do you provide accessible transfers from Gazipaşa (GZP) as well?
Yes, the same accessible, meet-and-greet service runs from Gazipaşa-Alanya Airport (GZP) as from Antalya (AYT). Add your accessibility needs in the notes when you book, and we'll match the right vehicle and driver for your route toward Alanya or your chosen resort.
How much time should we allow for the journey?
Road times vary with traffic and season, and boarding or unloading a wheelchair adds a few minutes at each end. We never rush you, and because it's a private transfer there's no shared timetable to keep. For typical route timings, see our complete airport transfer guide, and check your exact quote at /en.
