thanks any way
jimmy

I don't know who it is, but i think £65 is a bit expensive, i transfered with orange last year and it was only £40 return in a mini bus, £45 if you wanted a private transfer, i can't see it going up that much in 12mths. Alan
-
Orange are £60 for Private transfers this year - about the going rate I think.
-
storks rates are the same £60 return
-

[:(!]everything seems to have got a lot more expensive this year.Because of the oil prices i suppose.We noticed the electric in Turkey has gone up a lot.I was stuck in the fuel protest on the m 60 in Manchester this morning.What a knightmare.[:(!]
-
Amanda was it a knightmare in shinning armour? LOL
-
Is that armour for the lower leg?
-
So who's sharing our transfers next Friday morning (13th)? We are using Orange and someone is sharing who is on the same flight from Manchester. Brings the cost down from 60 to 40 return - so quite pleased really. Just hope it's not Garry Carr!
Stoop
-
You worried me there, so I phoned Orange on your behalf. It isn't Garry Carr. It's Javacoffee.
-
I think I prefer the first option ;-)
-
We have booked with orange for sept we have been told £70 thats private transfers return for 2 adults and 1 child does that sound right x
-
average is about £60 as far as i know!!!

I'd better pack a picture of Ronaldo then - might be the last time he'll see him for a while ;):D
-
Is there a cheaper option for a transfer if its only for one person? :) (There's a chance our oldest daughter may go a couple of days before us - just need to know she's safely transferred, and not trying to find public transport to get to Calis.) Thanks. :)
PS: Why are we talking about transfers in the "Problems using the Board" Section [?] :)
-
Julesbob,
Good question. It actually started as a problem but seemed to roll on from there. Is this section the correct one or should it be in flights? Not sure myself.
Anyway - going back to your question. I guess the cost will be the same for 1 person as 2 because the transfer company will still have the same costs.
Maybe someone from CBF could share with her if you think it would be safe enough or you could check with orange to see if they are doing any transfers at the same time. That would drop the cost to £40 return.
-
Thanks stoop. Not happy with her travelling alone, but a share might be okay. Arriving in the middle of the night is always difficult for a young girl on her own, I guess. She would have come with us on our original booking but went to Bulgaria to work (supposedly for the summer!) but it all went horribly wrong. She now wants to come to Turkey with us and I think we are going to have an overlap with the dates. Julie
-
julie.if you book with onur air you can get a transfer to fethiye/calis for £15 each way.I presume other flight companies do this as well.
-
Amanda,
Good idea but they tend only to drop off in main resorts. She might still need to get some way to the apartment/house.
For an extra few quid I would go for the transfer that drops her off right outside the door and will carry her case etc,etc.
It's difficult putting details about her arrival etc out on an open forum so it might be better to go direct to the transfer company and ask them if they can arrange a shared transfer (if one is available at that time).
Maggie and are landing early on the 13th if that's any help (pm me if it is)and our friends, Sue and Jim come a week later.

julesbob- Office next to Jimmys soup kitchen advertising £10 pp transfers. Mr F used yesterday, Picked up from apartment and on time. I have contact details, if you want details pm me. :)
-
I bet they won't be when the Tursab registered transfer companies read that [:o]
-
Hi,
Just booked to come out on Monday. Need to organise a transfer from Dalaman. Do you pre-book with Orange or just turn up at the airport and organise from there ?
-
storeyd,
You need to pre-book. You can contact them through their profile.
Stu
-
Thanks very much for that.
It is sorted and just for the record £40 for a shared return to Dalaman.
-
Thanks for all your helpful replies. Thanks Stoop for your kind offer - unfortunately, it will be early August that we need the transfer. Will sort out her flights, then the transfers once we've managed to book something. Julie
-
Have just booked Dalaman to Ovacik for private transfer and they charged me £75!
-
Who did?
-
booked transfer with orange 2adults 2children aged 9 and 11 and baby aged 2 was charged 80pounds not a happy bunny,i know prices have gone up but i think thats abit steep
-
Not sure how the holiday companies treat kids but if they charge full price (£15 pp return) then it's cost you an extra fiver and you are getting private transfers and will probably get dropped off right outside the door.
-
Was that a return Mac?
-
julesbob - that is return for 5 people according to their website.
-
yes it was return trip julesbob,last years price for the same group was 60pounds just thought it was abit of a big increase
-
Sorry Stoop - have only just seen your reply to my comment - it was Orange! I have since asked for CBF discount but have had no reply!
-
hi bikerchickblonde,
I haven't received an email from you, how many people and where to? (ie Calis) and I will get a quote back to you.
Sunnyd
-
mac we are over in aug 4 adults, one child ,two infants, and have been quoted £80 by stork i thought that is good

I am booking this for my daughter and her friend who are coming out next month. Have to say, this is one of the cheapest offers around at the moment, especially if there are 1 one or 2 people needing a transfer. Thought it worth mentioning that it's being run as a shuttle service so you may have up to an hours wait (but no more than that), while travelers from other flights arrive at Dalaman. Still it's a good price for door to door service.
-
I am astounded that while Turkey has understood the need for safe vehicles and adequate insurance in their tourism industry, you haven't. Tursab regulate and ensure that those wanting to do airport transfers have proper insurance and physically check the vehicles being used for safety.
You are booking this for two important cargoes - your daughter and somebody else's daughter - because it is cheap. The car may have no brakes and/or may have no insurance whatsoever; what if something horrendous happens en-route? You only see the price and not the potential consequences - have you any idea whether they are registered officially? I'd bet rather a lot of money that they aren't if they are charging a tenner.

My daughter's friends booked Hamish McTurk and quoted 70 gbp for 4 people return and they picked them up from the airport unfortunately they never picked them up to take them back to the airport, they were waiting at 2.20 a.m. (after they had been in the shop the same day to clarify the time) and the driver never turned up. They rang the number that had been given to them in case of any problems and it was a wrong number. After waiting until 3.00 a.m. the Blue Pearl Hotel receptionist organised a transfer which I understand cost them 70 gbp one way. I received an e:mail at 7.00 a.m. that morning from the transfer driver asking why the 4 people had not been there when the driver turned up for them, I rang Hamish McTurk and was eventually told that the transfer driver had fallen asleep, so why did he lie and say he was there to pick them up when obviously he wasn't, Hamish McTurk also said it was the first time this year this had happened, I said it is only June, so obviously this must happen alot. He said he would compensate them but when I went down he didn't want to know. I am angry these kids were left in the middle of the night paniking they were going to miss their flight and then ripped of by the Blue Pearl Hotel for 70 GBP one way. So the moral of this story is DONT BOOK TRANSFERS FROM HAMISH MCTURK.

I am insulted that you can blithely assume that I would sacrifice my daughters (or anyone else's) safety to save a couple of quid! Unbelievable!
You imply that this is some dodgy illegal operation using clapped out old vehicles, it is NOT. A short walk from your office to theirs, would soon confirm this.
For your information I personally know one of the partners who run this business and he has been in the tourism/travel industry for more than twenty years, and ALL of their vehicles are well maintained and reliable. He is even a franchise for Avis for God's sake!.
As I stated previously this is a shuttle service, hence an potential hour of hanging around before you depart the airport, and at the moment he is actually running it at a loss using a VW people carrier, which will carry, I believe, a maximum of 10 passengers. However he does have foresight to see if he can get enough people on seats he is going to earn more than £30 for a one way transfer. Obviously he can't keep running it at a loss for ever so I thought it worth a mention to drum up some interest, and no I'm not on commission!
And, yes, of course they are officially registered, I would personally have a lot more confidence using his services than some of the other transport businesses that have been mentioned in the past.

Their business card states they are Tursab registered, and their cars are new and comfortable. :)
-
I'm interested in hearing the name of this Tursab registered company, something you didn't mention in either post. If it is a Tursab registered company then say so, you haven't so far. "ALL of their vehicles are well maintained and reliable" isn't the same as being Tursab registered. Oh, and just because business cards say something it isn't confirmation of anything.
I'm not one for talking down businesses and new enterprise in the area, this website is here to do the opposite (amongst other things) but I have a responsibility to ensure that recommended companies on here meet the legal requirements that were put in place to safeguard everyone.
You appear to have got me wrong. I hope you will come back and confirm all of the above so we can all help publicise their value for money service.

There we are then, Tursab registered. I'm not having a go at anyone, I'm expressing the importance of using a Tursab registered company for transfers - it is the most important thing you need to find out.
I wish them well with it, it's going to be tough to make a profit doing it this way though.

No chance of CBF discount then! ;)

I see I've been beaten to naming the company!..
If you read my post I think you'll find I did state that they were registered.
I think you have got me wrong if you think I would risk anyones safety to save a couple of quid!
-
I doubt it :)
Phil's 2 posts concentrated on the price and I felt it was important to point out that Tursab registration is a MUST - it isn't enough to have nice clean vehicles, new vehicles or to work with Avis. I feel it is of paramount importance, so wanted to know if this special offer had Tursab 'backing' - something that certainly wasn't clear earlier. Not so long ago anyone and everyone was offering cheap transfers and the implications if there was an accident were severe, not least with you travel insurance policies in the UK.
-
The "I doubt it" was in reply to the question about CBF discounts, not to you Phil :)
All's well that ends well I guess.
-
So let me get this right. For £5 per person each way you get a transfer to Calis Beach. However (and not surprisingly nor am I having a 'go')you might have to wait 'up to' one hour until other travellers arrive at the airport.
Sounds like a fair deal to me - even with the hour wait. Only problem I can see is if they have 5 couples on one transfer that someone is going to be last off. This, along with the possible hour wait, could add considerably to your transfer time.
Keeps the cost down though.

You can check if your transfer company is registerd by visiting the Tursab site. (province- Mugla, town- Fethiye)
http://www.tursab.org.tr/content/english/agencies/sorgueng/index1.asp
Stoop, it is £10pp each way.
:)

No £10 = 1 way, so would only really be of interest to a solo traveler or maybe a couple. ;)

I have booked a return transfer with Orange for 2 people in July frm Dalaman to Calis for £60. wasnt aware there would be a discount if you are a CBF member...so I will get back to them and mention this.

The CBF discount isn't with Orange [:o]

So it's no cheaper than Orange for shared transfers then. We are going tomorrow and for 2 people shared it's £40 return.
£60 if you want private.
-
what with fuel going up £60.00 return is a good deal, and I feel sure will rise throughout the summer as further fuel and inflation hikes take effect
-
We saw the board outside the above office for £10 per person to or from Dalaman airport. As it was so cheap, I wondered if there had to be a minimum number of travellers (on an obvious loser if there is only one person travelling). My question is now answered. Could be ideal for my daughter if she travels alone, two days before us. I met the bloke who runs these transfers and he seems okay. Gave us a price for a transfer to Antalya airport from Calis (£100 for four of us, one way). This is pretty average, as I had already contacted other companies, who quoted more or less the same.
