    Option 4: Private / Shared Shuttle

    The HAVAS airport shuttle will drop you off at the Bodrum city center or Intercity Bus Terminal, and than you’ll need to take a taxi or midibus again to get to your hotel which will be a hard trip for you especially with kids and luggage. On the contrary, private transfer will ride you just to the entrance of your hotel.

    They offer low-priced, fixed rate private shuttles that include meet-and-greet airport pickups and luggage assistance. Their large selection of comfortable taxis, minivans, luxurious cars and 6-19+ passenger minibuses can match any need while ensuring quick, comfortable and safe trip to and from Bodrum Airport (BJV).

    1. Hi,

      Thanks for the article. Two questions

      1) Are Taxi drivers ok with you asking how much to a certain hotel before you get into the taxi?
      2) I’m taking a travel card, loaded with Turkish Lira. Can you pay taxi’s by debit card in Bodrum?

      Regards

      James
