Title: Airport transfers
Post by: janemicky on April 06, 2016, 09:54:06 AM
Hi
We have always used private transfers when coming over to Calis, but this year our 1st time over there will be only the 2 of us, so I wondered about a shuttle service but finding mixed reviews. Wondered if any members use them regularly with recommendations on which company to use. Don't want to end up paying again for return flights either because they don't turn up, or to late getting to airport. Thankyou.

Last year used a shuttle bus from Dalaman to Calis think it cost around £9 for 2 maybe less,new bus only 4 stops,as quick as a private transfer, then we caught the Havas bus from Fethiye otogar to the airport 10lira each,took an hour, they drop first at the domestic terminal, then take you round to the international terminal.
I have had a bad experience several years ago when I booked a return shuttle service got to the resort OK but didn't get picked up on the return journey, we were lucky and managed to get a lift from a friend of a friend, so didn't miss our flight.

Lots of people including us always use Ozgur Eser. Never lets you down. It's £10 each for shared shuttle or pay an extra £10 for a private transfer. Well worth the extra £10. He has a Facebook page where you can PM him

Used A2B for about 4 years with no problems &, whilst they are supposed to drop you at the nearest hotel, I find that an extra 10tl means that the driver will drop me outside the gate. Bargain

I couldn't find shuttle express but after a bit of googling I found it's Shuttle Direct. Mine comes out at £5.40 each way.
Thanks for the info, I'm very happy with that price.

That's very strange. Have you tried him on messenger? Here is his profile picture.

Sorry, but I wouldn't botherr with Shuttle Direct. I have tried to book with them, but their reservation team appear to be an bunch of incompetant jobsworths. I do not have a nearby hotel, so could not provide a street no or telephone no for one, as they kept requesting. Apparently, a large local landmark - a school that is clearly marked on Google maps & is on a main route + my own Turkish mobile no is insufficient for their requirements. I have explained the situation at length in 3 emails to their booking team & get the same std email response

Will try an alternative company & gladly pay more for the lack of hassle

My hubby used Mavisel in Oct and I just booked for July. My hubby had no problems with them and the driver also dropped him off near our Apartment. The booking company request you to give a hotel name but they said I can personally ask the driver to drop me nearer if it is recognised by the driver. £42 return for 4 ppl.

I recently used Ozgur, who I think has been previously mentioned on here regarding transfers. I was very impressed, asked for shared transfer but had a private car transfer to Dalaman as he had nobody else booked and a small bus on return with just 5 of us in. All were on same flight, no waiting for another flight to land. £10 per person each way, he picked me up and dropped me off at my house. His number is 05395285593.

We book through travel republic never had a problem mini bus or sometimes
By car you have to have nearby hotel or if the driver knows the apartment or
Complex he will drop you there. we drop off at navarda hotel and spa. I think
It was £23 last year.only thing you must ring the bus company to confirm return
Time the day before you leave. Travel republic guarantee your transfer and refund your
Money if things go wrong but they have not for us in 5 years.

We have used A2B and Holiday Taxis for years, and found both firms very good.
