Booking and prices
How do I book a ride?
Use the booking form on this website or ask Robot, the assistant at the bottom of every page, with your pickup, drop-off, date, time and number of people. Your request goes straight to Ali: he checks that a car and driver are free, tells you the price, and then confirms the booking. You get a booking reference and can follow it on your booking page.
How much is a taxi from Ercan Airport to Famagusta?
For airport transfers Ali gives you a set price for the whole car before the trip, in line with the rules in force. Send your flight time and destination to Robot or through the booking form and you get the price. It covers up to 4 people with their luggage, and paying in cash can get you a lower price on some transfers.
Is the taxi available at night and for early flights?
Yes. Rides run 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, subject to car and driver availability, including late arrivals and early departures. Book ahead, and for a pickup between midnight and 7 am book at least the evening before. Every booking is confirmed once availability is checked.
Is the price agreed in advance?
Yes. For airport transfers, tours and booked trips you get the total price for the whole car and the payment method before your booking is confirmed.
Ercan Airport
How do I find my driver at Ercan Airport?
Before you fly, Ali tells you exactly where to meet and how the pickup works. Send your flight number when you book: where possible he follows the flight and plans the pickup around it. Ali’s car is a white Mercedes E-Class with a yellow taxi sign and the plate TRD 273.
How long is the drive from Ercan Airport to Famagusta?
About 45 minutes in normal traffic. İskele and Long Beach take about 50 minutes, and the Bafra hotels about an hour.
What happens if my flight is delayed?
Send your flight number when you book. Where possible, Ali follows the flight, and if it is late he does his best to move the pickup time, depending on car and driver availability. Any waiting fee or change to the transfer is told to you in advance.
Can I book a return transfer to Ercan?
Yes. Tell Ali your flight time and he will pick you up early enough for check-in.
