How to get a taxi in Dalaman
Dalaman has many different taxi companies operating throughout the city, so grabbing a cab day or night is easy. However, as there are many taxi companies available, you won’t see a uniform color for the taxis in Dalaman. Instead, look out for the large ‘TAXI’ sign on top and the company logo and phone number on the side of the vehicle. You can choose to hail a Dalaman taxi in the street, use the taxi app, phone a dispatch taxi, or walk to a designated Dalaman taxi rank. You can find a taxi rank in Dalaman outside of the most popular beaches, such as Iztuzu Beach, outside Dalaman Airport, and most major resorts.
How to get a taxi from Dalaman Airport
The bright yellow taxis are available from the Dalaman Airport taxi rank 24 hours a day. As you exit the arrivals hall of Terminal 1 and Terminal 2, you will see the line of taxis waiting. There will also be a member of staff with a clipboard to assist you in finding an empty taxi and planning your route with the driver. Taxis from Dalaman Airport to the city use a taximeter to calculate the cost of your journey, so your final destination will determine your taxi in Dalaman cost.
How to get a taxi from Iztuzu Beach
In the early morning, it will be almost impossible to get a taxi from Iztuzu Beach without using an app, calling a phone dispatch taxi, or pre-booking your rides. However, in the afternoon, you will see a group of Dalaman taxi drivers waiting to pick up tourists after a long day at the beach.
Dalaman taxi apps
When it comes to using a Dalaman taxi app, there aren’t many choices. Most locals will hail a taxi in the street, rather than using an app. However, BiTaksi is a local taxi app option, that is Dalaman’s answer to Uber.
As the large taxi apps aren’t available in Dalaman, you can expect very long wait times for a local taxi to become available and accept your ride request. To avoid these long wait times, you can pre-book your transfers in advance with a private company.
Useful Dalaman taxi numbers
There’s no way to call the local yellow taxis in Dalaman. If you wish to book a phone dispatch taxi, you will need to call one of the private companies operating in the city. As many of the phone dispatch personnel don’t speak English, it may be wise to have your hotel call one of these taxis for you. Having said this, here are some of the top-rated phone dispatch taxi Dalaman numbers:
- Transfer Dalt: +90 (544) 204 9928
- Havaliman Transfer: +90 (541) 957 7778
- Blue Transfer Dalaman: +90 (542) 801 4800
- Sari Taksi: +90 (536) 479 1995
Why book your Dalaman taxi in advance?
Trying to find your way around a new city can be stressful, especially when you only have a few days to explore and don’t speak the language. Knowing that your rides are pre-booked and that your driver will be waiting for you, whenever and wherever you decide, provides great peace of mind.
Pre-booking your taxi in Dalaman with a trusted company such as Welcome Pickups also ensures local English-speaking drivers, fully personalized transfers, guaranteed on-time pickups, fixed all-inclusive prices, and stellar 24/7 customer service.
