The pickup, step by step

On the day, the car is at Richmond Ephesus Resort a few minutes before the booked time. The driver helps with suitcases, fits any pre-booked child seats, and you are on the road within minutes of pickup.

Meet your driver in the lobby or at the entrance; the car arrives a few minutes early and luggage goes straight in. The office confirms the driver's name and plate on WhatsApp, so you know exactly who to look for.

The Izmir Airport end of the ride

The approach road ends at the terminal loop. The driver drops you on the departures level at the door closest to your check-in row, so there is no shuttle between buildings and no hunting for the right entrance.

Adnan Menderes runs a single terminal for domestic and international flights. The car stops on the departures level and trolleys stand right at the doors.

When should you leave?

Booking the return too? The pickup time we confirm already carries a sensible buffer for it.

The arithmetic is simple: roughly 65 minutes of road plus the two-hour airport buffer puts the sensible pickup around 4 hours before take-off. Night and early-morning pickups cost the same.

The car you ride in

A private Mercedes Vito does the run, with seating for up to seven. There is real luggage space: the boot swallows 6-7 large suitcases. Child seats arrive fitted free; just leave the children's ages on the form.

Alternatives and how they compare

If your party fits in one Vito, the per-vehicle fare compares well with two metered taxis once you count the bags. Street taxis charge metered fares over the full 76 km. A pre-booked car keeps the price fixed and the pickup at your door.

Other ways exist and each adds a leg. With luggage and a 76 km leg, most families find the direct car simpler.

Price and payment

The fare is agreed in EUR before the ride and does not move with traffic, weather or the clock. Payment is cash to the driver or card online, whichever suits you. Cancellation is free until a day before the scheduled pickup.

Common questions

Are child seats really free?

Yes. Infant carriers, child seats and boosters are all free; we just need each child's age and weight on the booking so the right seat is fitted.

Can we add a quick stop on the way?

Yes. Leaving Richmond Ephesus Resort, a short pause for coffee, fuel or a pharmacy is fine; tell the driver on the day or note it at booking.
