Title: Reliable driver ?
Post by: pookie on March 16, 2008, 13:15:50 PM

In June my Mam will be visiting Uzumlu for a week, with a couple of her friends.  As Mum struggles with a bad hip and another friend has a bad knee (they are all in their 70s..) we are looking for a reliable and friendly driver to help them out for the week.  It will involved transfers to and from airport, car to Olu and back later that same day, and a couple of trips down to Fethiye.  Can anyone recommend a really realiable and helpful driver / company that would help out ?  I know that Orange do airport transfers, but would they do a private taxi service ?

Hi Pookie, Try texting Hassan on 00905323157330, very good, very friendly and reliable. We text him from the airport when we know the flight is on time and he is waiting when we arrive. He picked us up at 3.30am to get us back for the early morning flight.

Pookie, Hassan lives in Calis and has his own business, he picked us up in a nice new air-con mini bus, very helpful and knows the area. He was recommended to me by a friend and he was reliable, friendly and reasonable, can't say more than that.

If he has his own business then you should name it please buddy?  
Friend of a friend could be anyone making a fast buck doing transfers

Thanks Buddy, I really appreciate your help, but I must agree with Anne - the backing of a formal business will help put my Mum's mind at rest.  She is very nervous about travelling to Turkey and quite jittery about who to trust and not to trust.
