Uber and Taxi Apps in Antalya: What Works at the Airport
Yes, Uber works in Antalya, but only as a way to call a licensed yellow city taxi: the app does not send private cars. The taxi runs on the city tariff of 40 TL to start and 50 TL per km, and Uber shows an upfront price before you confirm. For families, big luggage or the longer rides to Belek, Side, Kemer and Alanya, a transfer booked in advance at a fixed price per car is often simpler.
Many travellers open Uber when they land, as they would at home. In Antalya it works differently from most European cities, so it helps to know what you will get before you step outside.
What Uber sends in Antalya
At Antalya Airport (AYT) Uber lists the yellow taxi as its option: you are matched with a licensed city taxi and its driver, not with a private car. You enter your destination, see an upfront price, and pay in the app. Uber's own airport page warns that pickups at the airport may not be available at every hour, so have a plan B for very late arrivals.
What a ride costs
Because the car is a city taxi, the price follows the Antalya taxi tariff: 40 TL to start the meter and 50 TL per kilometre, plus time spent in traffic. That puts a ride from the airport at roughly 690 TL to Lara, 1,590 TL to Belek and 2,890 TL to Kemer with no traffic. Tolls are extra. Our Antalya Airport taxi page lists the estimate for every resort next to our fixed price.

Tips for using a taxi app at AYT
- Connect to the airport Wi-Fi or set up an eSIM before you fly, so the app works the moment you land.
- Check the plate number and the driver's name in the app before you get in.
- Ignore people who offer rides inside the terminal; licensed taxis wait at the official rank outside.
- With children, ask for a child seat in advance: a taxi called by app usually has none.
If you land late at night, with a family or with golf bags, booking a car before you fly removes the guesswork: the driver tracks your flight and waits at the exit with your name. See taxi, transfer or bus for all the options.
