Driver's note: An all-inclusive beachfront resort at Kızılağaç in Manavgat district, with pool water slides, a Kids' Club, a hamam spa and a jetty off its sand-and-shingle beach.
Antalya Airport to TUI BLUE Palm Garden private transfer
Passport control and the baggage belt are the last queues of the day. Beyond them your driver is already standing with a name board, so there is no rank to find and no fare to haggle over. The car heads east out of Antalya on the D400, past the Belek and Serik turnings, then on along the Side line towards Kızılağaç. It is about 65 km, 55 to 70 minutes, and the car finishes at the hotel's own entrance.
A fixed fare is what keeps a 65 km airport run simple. Yours is agreed on WhatsApp before you fly and written down: a Mercedes Vito, seating up to six, starts at €55, while an eight-seat minivan is €60. Nothing is charged up front, and you settle with the driver in cash at the hotel door, in EUR, USD or TRY. If plans shift, cancelling costs nothing as long as it is done 4 hours before the pickup.
TUI BLUE Palm Garden is an all-inclusive resort laid out in low villa blocks across wide grounds, with the beach in front of it and a pier running off the sand and shingle. Guests turn up with beach bags and buggies rather than a slim case, and the Mercedes Vito swallows that alongside luggage for up to six. An eight-seat minivan does the same for a larger party travelling together. Families come here for the pool slides, the children's pool and the Kids' Club, and child seats of every size go in beforehand at no charge, so send the ages on WhatsApp.
Both terminals at Antalya are covered, domestic and international alike. The flight number you send is tracked, so a late arrival moves the pickup and costs you nothing, and 60 minutes of free waiting run from touchdown to cover slow belts and long passport queues. Your driver lifts the heavy cases, leads the way across the car park and loads the boot. From there the drive to the reception doors at Kızılağaç is uninterrupted.
The homeward leg is arranged in the same message thread and carries the identical fixed fare. Send your flight time and we set the pickup from the main entrance, leaving room for the 55 to 70 minute drive back and for check-in. Bookings run 24/7, so a pre-dawn departure or a midnight landing costs exactly what an afternoon pickup costs. A day out is simple to add while you are on this stretch of coast, and The Land of Legends at Kadriye is quoted in advance in the same manner.
Meeting your driver at Antalya Airport
Walk out of baggage reclaim and look for your surname on a board: that is the whole procedure. It works the same at the domestic and the international gate, and because the flight is tracked there is nothing to rearrange if you land behind schedule. The 60 minutes of free waiting begin when the wheels touch down, which is enough for a full aircraft clearing passport control at once. The walk out to the car park is short, and the road east starts a few minutes later.
Vito or minivan for a Kızılağaç arrival
Both vehicles are van class, so the difference is space rather than comfort. The Mercedes Vito from €55 carries up to six with room for tall cases, a pushchair and the beach kit an all-inclusive week at Palm Garden calls for. Parties of up to eight take the minivan at €60, which keeps a family or a group of friends together in a single vehicle instead of splitting them between cars. Child seats go into either at no charge.
Late flights, early flights and changes of plan
The fare you were quoted is the fare at any hour, with nothing added for a night arrival or a dawn departure. Booking is open 24/7 on WhatsApp, and a car can be arranged for a flight that lands long after the hotel restaurants have closed. Should the holiday move, cancelling is free provided it happens 4 hours before the pickup, and nothing is held on a card because nothing was charged. For the flight home we work backwards from your departure, allowing 55 to 70 minutes on the road.
Good to know for TUI BLUE Palm Garden
- Send the flight number with your booking: the arrival is then tracked, and a late landing simply moves the driver's pickup.
- Give the children's ages on WhatsApp and the free seats, boosters included, are fitted before the car sets off.
- Keep the fare in cash, in EUR, USD or TRY, since the driver is paid at the hotel door and carries no card machine.
- Ask for the eight-seat minivan at €60 if you are travelling with another family, rather than splitting the party between cars.
- If your dates move, cancel at no cost 4 hours before the pickup and rebook the same fixed fare on WhatsApp.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much is a transfer from Antalya Airport to TUI BLUE Palm Garden?
A Mercedes Vito seating up to six starts at €55 and an eight-seat minivan at €60. The price is for the whole car rather than for each seat, fixed in writing on WhatsApp before you travel, and the same fare applies on the way back to the airport.
How long does the drive to Kızılağaç take?
About 65 km and 55 to 70 minutes on the D400, heading east through Serik and along the Side line. High-summer traffic around Antalya and the Side junctions can stretch it out, though a fixed fare means a slow road never adds to the bill.
Where will the driver be waiting when we land?
Your driver stands in the hall beyond customs with your name on a board, and it makes no difference which terminal you come through. Pick up the bags, head out through the doors and scan the boards, and he will take the cases and lead the way to the car park.
What happens if my flight is late?
Nothing changes for you. The flight number you send on WhatsApp is tracked and the driver times the pickup to the real landing, while 60 minutes of free waiting cover the belt and the passport queue at no cost.
Do you have child seats for the run to TUI BLUE Palm Garden?
Yes, and there is no charge for them, whether you need an infant carrier, a child seat or a booster. Give the ages at booking and the seats are in place before the car leaves for the terminal. A family with a pushchair and beach bags fits in the Mercedes Vito from €55, and larger parties take the eight-seat minivan from €60.
How do I pay, and can I cancel?
Payment is cash on arrival, in EUR, USD or TRY, whichever you have to hand, with nothing taken up front and no night surcharge added. Cancelling is free provided it is 4 hours before the pickup, and bookings and changes are handled on WhatsApp 24/7.
