F.A.Q.

As a policy we do not give discount on the prices displayed on our website as they already represent the best deals we can afford to give. This is also the case with returning customers as they comprise the largest part of our business anyway. However, as a rule the sooner you book, the better the deal you will get. For example the current prices are excellent value and will most certainly go up closer to the time, rather like the way the flight companies work.

Most people arrive into Dalaman at the International Terminal. Occasionally however you may have booked to come from elsewhere in Turkey in which case you will arrive at the Domestic Terminal. Alternatively you may be travelling from another country but may land first in İstanbul and clear Customs and Immigration there in which case you are also likely to come through the Domestic Terminal. However, if you pass through Istanbul “in transit” and do not go through Immigration there, then you are likely to arrive at the International Terminal.
Because there is quite a distance between the two terminals and because they have separate car parks, please tick the relevant box only if you want us to meet you at the Domestic terminal. We would also suggest that you turn your mobiles on when you arrive in case you cannot immediately locate us. This will greatly assist us in having your vehicle ready at the right time in the right place! Thanks.
