Very clever indeed.

The problem is security and safety of the traveller. Remember back a few years when burglaries targeting private renters on their first night were rife - the question was who could know where all the new arrivals were, and the obvious answer was the transfer companies.

Some people believed it was them so much that they would give a hotel address or get dropped at the end of the street.

Not any more.

Does it say that you need to disclose where you are staying, or just that they need your passport details. If you are staying on a complex is there any need for the driver to know what number apartment you are in.

All I was asked for last week was name and passport number.

We were only asked for names & passport number when we left on Monday.

I dont intend giving my passport number to any driver. The hotel will hold that info and its suffice for driver to know the hotel name. If the authorities want to come and get my passport number, they'll know where to find me.

Toky

Unfortunately and I don't know the ins and outs, but I would not want the driver to suffer by me not giving the information he is legally bound to ask for.

Could be a long walk from Dalaman to Calis Toky!

Surely I can't be the only person who wants to challange this. My passport number is highly sensative information is it not?

They checked it 5-10 minutes earlier as you got off the plane and went through arrivals passport control. Therefore there is no benefit to recording it outside the same building - the information they seek is (as stated early on in this topic) knowing where people are staying.
