Antalya Airport Transfer with a Wheelchair: What to Know

Our transfers suit travellers who use a wheelchair or walking aid for distances but can stand briefly and take a few steps, or who can move into a seat with a companion's help. In that case the trip is straightforward: the folded wheelchair, walker or rollator goes in the luggage area, there is no luggage fee, and the price per vehicle stays exactly as quoted.

What we cannot offer is a vehicle you roll into while seated. We have no ramp, no lift and no wheelchair-accessible van. If the traveller has to stay in the wheelchair for the whole journey, or uses a heavy electric chair that does not fold, please do not book with us on the assumption that it will work out on the day. Write to us first with the details, and we will tell you honestly whether it is possible. It is better to know this weeks before the flight than at the kerb outside arrivals.

The part between the plane door and the arrivals hall is handled by the airport and your airline, not by the transfer. When you book your flight, or at the latest a few days before travel, ask your airline to arrange special assistance for both directions. They can tell you what support is available at Antalya Airport for boarding, disembarking and passport control.

Once you come out into the arrivals hall, our part begins. The driver waits with a name sign, so there is no need to walk around looking for a taxi rank or a shuttle stop. We track your flight: if the plane is late or assistance takes longer to bring you through, the driver adjusts, and waiting for a delayed flight costs nothing extra. For a step-by-step picture of the terminal, see our guide to the Antalya airport transfer.

We use three vehicle types: Minivan (1–6 passengers), VIP Mercedes-Benz Vito (1–7) and Mercedes Sprinter (8–16). All of them sit higher than an ordinary family car, so getting in means a step up rather than lowering yourself down. For some people that is actually easier on the knees and hips; for others the step is the difficult part. The Sprinter, being the tallest, has the biggest step.

Because every body is different, the best approach is to describe the situation and ask us. Tell us whether the traveller can manage one step with support, whether they prefer to sit near the door, and how much the folded wheelchair or walker measures. We then suggest the vehicle that fits best. You can compare the three types on our fleet page.

Getting settled takes a few more minutes when a walking aid is involved, and that is completely fine. Mention it in the booking so the pick-up time is planned with a calm margin instead of a rush.

The transfer is private, so whoever helps the traveller sits in the same car: a partner, an adult child, a carer, or the whole family. There is no shared shuttle, no stop at other hotels, and no strangers waiting for you to board. The price is per vehicle, not per person, so a companion does not make the trip more expensive. If you are a larger group, for example a family reunion with grandparents, choose a vehicle size that leaves the front seat or a seat near the sliding door free for the person who needs it.

Shorter journeys are easier on anyone who finds sitting for long tiring. Typical times from Antalya Airport (summer peaks and city traffic can add a little):

• Lara: ≈ 14 km, ≈ 20 min
• Kaleiçi: ≈ 16 km, ≈ 25 min
• Konyaaltı: ≈ 27 km, ≈ 35 min
• Belek: ≈ 33 km, ≈ 40 min
• Kemer: ≈ 58 km, ≈ 70 min
• Side: ≈ 65 km, ≈ 75 min
• Alanya: ≈ 125 km, ≈ 120 min

On the longer routes you can ask the driver for a short stop to stretch your legs. At the end, the car pulls up at the hotel entrance rather than on the main road, so the distance to reception is as short as the hotel layout allows. Questions about step-free rooms, lifts or pool access are best asked to the hotel directly before you book. Our article on travelling in Antalya with seniors has more ideas for a relaxed holiday.

On the way home, everything takes a little longer: checking out, packing, getting into the car, and then the airport formalities with assistance. Book the return transfer at the same time as the arrival, tell us your flight time, and we agree the hotel pick-up with you in advance, deliberately on the early side. Remind your airline about the assistance request for the departure too, so support is in place for check-in and boarding.

If your flight time changes, send us a message and we move the pick-up. You pay in the vehicle, in cash or by card if agreed beforehand. There is no prepayment, and cancellation is free if your plans change.
