Mistake 1: Relying on Airport Taxi Ranks
Landing at Antalya Airport without a booking and hoping to grab a cheap taxi is a risk. During summer, ranks can have long queues. Furthermore, standard taxis cannot fit a family of 5 with luggage, forcing you to pay for two separate cars.
Mistake 4: Paying Upfront Online
Many broker websites demand full payment via credit card months in advance. If your flight is canceled, getting a refund is a nightmare. Reputable local companies allow you to book via WhatsApp and pay the driver in cash upon arrival.
