Arriving in a new country is exciting, but the first hour after landing can easily turn into a stressful search for a taxi, a bus stop or a shuttle desk. Vixride was created to remove that uncertainty. It is a TÜRSAB-licensed private airport transfer company based in Antalya, operating since 2021 at 11 airports in Turkey and North Cyprus. Travellers book a vehicle online before they fly, a professional driver meets them at the arrivals exit, and they are taken straight to their hotel, villa or address at a price agreed in advance.
Where Vixride Operates
Turkey’s holiday regions are spread across a huge country, and each has its own airport. Vixride covers the airports most international visitors use:
- Istanbul: Istanbul Airport (IST) and Sabiha Gökçen Airport (SAW)
- Turkish Riviera: Antalya Airport (AYT) and Gazipaşa-Alanya Airport (GZP)
- Aegean coast: Izmir Adnan Menderes Airport (ADB) and Milas-Bodrum Airport (BJV)
- Turquoise Coast: Dalaman Airport (DLM), serving Fethiye, Marmaris and Göcek
- Cappadocia: Kayseri Airport (ASR) and Nevşehir Kapadokya Airport (NAV)
- Black Sea: Trabzon Airport (TZX)
- North Cyprus: Ercan Airport (ECN)
From these airports the company serves more than a thousand hotels as well as private villas, marinas, cruise ports, ski resorts and city addresses, in both directions.
How a Booking Works
The process is designed to be simple, even for first-time visitors to Turkey:
- Choose the route. Enter the airport, the hotel or address, the date, time and number of passengers.
- Pick a vehicle. The fare is shown straight away and is fixed per vehicle, not per person.
- Add your flight number. This allows the team to track your flight in real time.
- Meet your driver. After passport control and baggage claim, your driver is waiting at the exit with a sign showing your name.
- Travel directly. No shared rides, no stops for other passengers and no detours.
If your plane lands early or late, the pick-up time adjusts automatically. Waiting is free for 60 minutes after landing, which comfortably covers long passport queues or a slow baggage belt.
A Modern Mercedes Fleet
Every vehicle class is a Mercedes-Benz, chosen for comfort on both short city rides and long coastal drives:
- Economy Sedan (Mercedes-Benz E-Class): up to 3 passengers and 2 large suitcases, ideal for couples and business travellers.
- FirstClass Van (Mercedes-Benz Vito): up to 6 passengers and 6 large suitcases, the most popular choice for families.
- Vip Sprinter (Mercedes-Benz Sprinter): up to 16 passengers and 16 large suitcases, suited to groups, wedding parties and teams.
The fleet includes 20 Mercedes Vito vans at each of the 11 airports, so availability remains strong even in the busy summer months. Baby and child seats are provided free of charge on request.
Clear Terms With No Surprises
Vixride’s terms are built to avoid fares that change on arrival:
- Fixed price per vehicle. The amount shown when you book is the amount you pay.
- Everything included. VAT, motorway tolls, airport parking, flight tracking and child seats are part of the fare.
- No prepayment. You pay the driver on the day, in cash or by card.
- Free cancellation. Plans can be cancelled or changed free of charge up to 24 hours before the ride.
Licensed and Professional
Vixride operates as a registered travel agency with TÜRSAB licence number 14798. Its transfers run under a D2 authorisation issued by Turkey’s Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure, and its drivers hold the SRC professional competence certificate required for passenger transport. Vehicles are fully insured for airport and city journeys. For travellers, this means a properly authorised service rather than an informal pick-up arranged through a third party.
More Than Airport Runs
While airport transfers are the core service, the same drivers and vehicles are available for other trips:
- Hourly chauffeur hire in cities such as Istanbul, Antalya, Izmir and Bodrum, for shopping, meetings or exploring at your own pace.
- Private day tours to sites like Ephesus, Pergamon, Pamukkale and the valleys of Cappadocia, with hotel pick-up and drop-off.
- City rides and intercity transfers between hotels, ports and resorts.
The website is available in eight languages: English, Turkish, German, French, Russian, Polish, Chinese and Japanese, so international guests can book comfortably in their own language.
Who Vixride is for
The service suits families with young children and lots of luggage, couples landing late at night, groups sharing a villa, golfers heading to Belek, cruise passengers in Kuşadası and business travellers in Istanbul. The goal is always a calm, predictable start and end to the trip.
Final Word
The journey between the airport and your accommodation is the first and last impression of any holiday. By combining licensed drivers, a modern Mercedes fleet, fixed prices and flexible terms across 11 airports, Vixride offers a straightforward way to make that journey the easiest part of travelling in Turkey and North Cyprus.
