Consider booking a shared transfer with company such as Resorthoppa .... there are several others. If there are more than a couple of you it may even be worth getting a private transfer.
We used Resort Hoppa once and would never use them again. Despite their promise that you will not wait that long at Dalaman for your transport, we were left outside at midday in the blazing sunshine for over an hour while the mini-bus waited off site because of the parking cost until two further aeroplanes landed after ours so that every seat could be filled. Even then as you can imagine it took a further 3/4 of an hour for all those people to exit the arrivals lounge and find their way onto this mini-bus.
I phoned their local office three times to organise the return trip and was finally passed from thei Marmaris office (which was the number I was given on the paperwork) to some real obnoxious bloke in the Fethiye office who then proceeded to shout at me down the phone that they do not pick up from private apartments or villas and that we would have to make our own way at 03.30am to the nearest hotel to be picked up from there. "We don't do the pick ups from the private villas, you should read small print". When I told him to STOP SHOUTING AT ME DOWN THE PHONE and that they should tell people that BEFORE taking their money and also that they had no problem in dropping us off at our apartment on the way in, he said I should feel very honoured and and he hoped I gave the drive a very large tip for doing this very big favour.
So, needless to say, Resort Hoppa are off our list for transfers.
