Frequently Asked Questions
How far in advance should I book a ride?
We recommend booking your transfer or hourly hire service at least 72 hours in advance. If you don’t have that much time, you can request an urgent transfer — we’ll let you know as soon as possible whether we can confirm it.
What pick-up time should I specify for the transfer?
If your transfer starts from an airport or railway station, please specify your flight or train arrival time as the start of your transfer. This helps the driver organize the meeting more accurately.
If your transfer starts from a hotel to an airport, please indicate the time you wish to be picked up at reception. You’ll need to calculate it yourself, allowing extra time for check-in. We recommend adding about 3 hours before your flight’s departure. For example, if your flight leaves at 14:00 and the trip takes 1 hour, your pick-up time should be 10:00.
How do I know if my order has been accepted?
After submitting your booking, you’ll receive an email with all trip details and your order status as “Waiting”. Once we receive and confirm your payment, the status will change to “Accepted”, and you’ll receive another email confirmation.
If you don’t receive the confirmation email, please contact our support team at office@welcome.taxi.
How do I change my booking?
To make changes to your booking, please contact our support team at office@welcome.taxi.
Important note: Requests for changes made less than 72 hours before your trip may be declined.
How can I cancel my booking?
You can cancel your booking in two ways:
- Via the booking page on our website — use the cancellation number provided in your booking voucher, at least 72 hours before the trip.
- By contacting our support team if it’s less than 72 hours before your ride.
Important note: In case of urgent cancellation, we may not be able to refund your deposit. The free cancellation period is stated in your confirmation email.
What should I do if my flight is delayed?
If your flight is delayed by less than 30 minutes, the driver will adjust their arrival time automatically.
If the delay is longer, please inform the driver directly (their phone number is in your confirmation voucher) or contact WelcomeTaxi Customer Support at office@welcome.taxi. Please include your order number and the new arrival time.
Important note: The driver may charge an additional fee for extended waiting time.
How will I find my driver?
For airport transfers, if you’ve added the meet-and-greet option to your order, the driver will meet you in the arrivals area — right after passport control and baggage claim. You’ll see a name sign with your first and last names (or custom text, if specified in your booking).
Important note: We strongly recommend adding the meet-and-greet option to your airport transfer booking.
For hotel pickups, the driver will wait for you in the hotel lobby. Detailed meeting instructions and your driver’s contact number are provided in your booking confirmation voucher.
How can I be sure that my driver will pick me up?
WelcomeTaxi guarantees that your driver will do their best to meet you on time.
Both you and the driver will have each other’s phone or WhatsApp number. Please keep your mobile phone switched on at the time of pickup. If you can’t reach the driver, contact our support team immediately.
I can’t find my driver. What should I do?
If you can’t find your driver, please double-check the name signs again — the driver may have missed you in the crowd.
Try calling or messaging the driver via WhatsApp. If there’s no response within the meeting time, contact our support team.
If necessary, go to the airport’s Information Desk to arrange a local taxi to your destination.
Important note: If the driver fails to meet you, we will refund your payment.

Airport Transfers and Chauffeur Service from Dalaman Airport
Dalaman Airport (DLM) is one of the main international gateways to Turkey's south-western coast and a key arrival point for visitors travelling to resorts throughout Muğla Province. Located close to Dalaman town, the airport serves a much wider tourism region that includes Fethiye, Göcek, Marmaris, Ölüdeniz and numerous coastal resorts, hotels and villas.
WelcomeTaxi provides pre-booked private airport transfers from Dalaman Airport to hotels, resorts, villas, residences and regional destinations. Passengers can arrange their transportation before travelling and continue directly from the terminal with an English-speaking driver instead of organising an onward journey after landing.
Private transfers are suitable for individual travellers, couples, families and groups. Chauffeur service and long-distance transfers can also be arranged for journeys along the Turkish Riviera and to destinations farther across south-western Turkey.
Getting from Dalaman Airport to Your Resort
Dalaman differs from many city airports because a large proportion of arriving passengers continue directly to resorts outside Dalaman itself. Fethiye, Göcek and Marmaris are among the main destinations, while many travellers stay in smaller coastal towns, holiday villages or villas away from major public transport stops.
The principal transportation options are airport shuttle buses, taxis, rental cars and pre-booked private transfers. The best choice depends on the destination, arrival time, amount of luggage and whether the passenger prefers a shared service or direct door-to-door travel.
Airport Shuttle Buses
HAVAŞ and MUTTAŞ operate airport shuttle services between Dalaman Airport and both Fethiye and Marmaris. These services provide an economical option for passengers whose travel plans match the timetable and whose accommodation is close to the route or final bus stop.
The Fethiye services travel via locations including Göcek, while the Marmaris route passes through areas such as Köyceğiz and Ortaca. Passengers travelling to a specific resort, villa or hotel may still need a taxi or another local connection after leaving the shuttle.
A private transfer avoids these additional stages and takes passengers directly from the airport to the address provided when booking.
Taxis from Dalaman Airport
Taxis are available at Dalaman Airport and can be used for journeys to nearby towns and resort destinations. They provide a straightforward option for passengers who prefer to organise transportation after arrival.
Because many popular destinations are a considerable distance from the airport, travellers may prefer to pre-book when they want the vehicle and journey arranged before their flight. This can be particularly useful for families, groups or passengers arriving late in the evening.
Rental Cars
Car rental is popular in the Dalaman region because many travellers explore the coast independently during their holiday. A rental vehicle can provide flexibility for visiting beaches, villages and attractions over several days.
For passengers who do not want to drive immediately after a flight, however, a chauffeur-driven transfer provides direct transportation without rental formalities, navigation or parking considerations. It is also useful for travellers who plan to spend most of their stay in one resort and do not need a car every day.
Why Pre-Book a Private Transfer from DLM?
The wide geographical area served by Dalaman Airport makes advance transportation planning especially useful. A journey to a hotel in Göcek is very different from a transfer to Marmaris, Ölüdeniz or a villa outside a resort centre.
With a pre-booked transfer, the pickup, destination, passenger number and vehicle requirements are arranged before arrival. Passengers can leave the terminal and continue directly to their accommodation without waiting for a shared departure or changing vehicles.
Door-to-door service is especially useful for families and groups travelling with several suitcases, pushchairs or holiday equipment. A suitable vehicle can be selected in advance according to both passenger and luggage capacity.
For international visitors, an English-speaking driver can also simplify communication during the airport pickup and journey to the destination.
Transfers from Dalaman Airport to Fethiye
Fethiye is one of the most important destinations served by Dalaman Airport. The town is a major tourism centre with hotels, marinas, restaurants and access to numerous beaches and resorts along the coast.
Airport shuttle services connect DLM with Fethiye Bus Terminal, making public transport a practical option for budget-conscious travellers. Passengers staying away from the central bus station may still need another taxi or local service to reach their accommodation.
A private transfer provides direct transportation from the airport to a hotel, villa, marina or other address in Fethiye. This is particularly useful for families, groups and travellers arriving with substantial luggage.
Dalaman Airport Transfers to Göcek
Göcek is one of the closest major leisure destinations to Dalaman Airport and is well known for its marinas, sailing facilities, hotels and villas. Its proximity to DLM makes Dalaman the natural airport for visitors staying in the area.
Airport shuttle routes towards Fethiye pass through Göcek, but a private transfer offers direct delivery to the passenger's hotel, villa or marina without waiting for a scheduled departure.
Chauffeur service can also be arranged for passengers joining private yachts or sailing itineraries who need transportation directly to a marina or specified meeting point.
Transfers from Dalaman Airport to Marmaris
Marmaris is another major resort destination served by Dalaman Airport. Located to the west of DLM, it offers a large selection of hotels, resorts, marinas, restaurants and leisure facilities.
HAVAŞ and MUTTAŞ operate shuttle services between the airport and Marmaris, providing a convenient shared transport option. The route includes several intermediate locations, so passengers travelling to a specific resort address may still require onward local transport.
A private transfer travels directly from Dalaman Airport to the passenger's accommodation in Marmaris and can be particularly convenient after a late flight or when several people are travelling together.
Dalaman Airport Transfers to Ölüdeniz
Ölüdeniz is one of the best-known beach destinations in the Fethiye region and is famous for its lagoon and surrounding mountain scenery. Travellers arriving at Dalaman Airport can reach Ölüdeniz by road via Fethiye.
Public transport generally involves travelling towards Fethiye before continuing to the resort. A private airport transfer provides a simpler alternative by taking passengers directly from DLM to their hotel, resort or villa in Ölüdeniz.
This can be especially convenient for families and travellers carrying beach or sports equipment.
Chauffeur Service along the Turkish Riviera
WelcomeTaxi chauffeur service can be arranged for more than a straightforward airport pickup. A private vehicle with driver can be used for sightseeing, leisure journeys, events, marina transfers and personalised itineraries throughout the Dalaman region.
The coastline around Dalaman includes resorts, beaches, marinas, historic sites and countryside destinations spread across a broad area. A chauffeur service allows travellers to move between them according to their own schedule rather than relying entirely on fixed public transport routes.
Private transportation can also be useful for travellers staying in villas or boutique hotels outside the main resort centres.
Regional Transfers from Dalaman Airport
Dalaman Airport is well positioned for travel throughout the south-western Turkish coast. Private regional transfers can be arranged to towns, resorts, marinas and rural accommodation throughout Muğla Province and neighbouring areas.
Destinations may include coastal locations around Fethiye and Marmaris as well as smaller towns and holiday areas that are not served by a direct airport shuttle.
Instead of combining an airport bus with another taxi or minibus, passengers can continue directly from the terminal to their final accommodation.
Long-Distance Transfers from Dalaman
Private long-distance transfers offer an alternative to intercity buses when travellers prefer direct door-to-door transportation. Journeys can be arranged from Dalaman Airport to destinations farther across south-western Turkey according to the required route and vehicle.
This type of transfer is particularly convenient for families, groups and passengers carrying substantial luggage. Travellers remain in one vehicle throughout the journey instead of changing at bus terminals or coordinating several local services.
Long-distance chauffeur service can also be used for multi-stop itineraries involving several hotels or destinations across the region.
Transfers to Villas, Resorts and Marinas
The Dalaman region contains a large number of holiday villas, resorts and marina developments that may be outside traditional town centres. Exact property locations can therefore be particularly important when arranging airport transportation.
A private transfer can take passengers directly to the accommodation or marina specified in the booking. For villas and remote properties, providing an accurate address or property name helps the driver identify the correct destination.
Marina transfers are especially relevant in Göcek, Fethiye and Marmaris, where many travellers arrive through Dalaman Airport before joining sailing holidays or private yacht charters.
Useful Information for Arriving Passengers
Dalaman Airport uses the IATA code DLM and is located near Dalaman town in Muğla Province. The airport is particularly important for holiday destinations along Turkey's south-western Mediterranean and Aegean coastline.
HAVAŞ and MUTTAŞ operate scheduled shuttle services from the airport to Fethiye and Marmaris, while local public transport also connects the airport with Dalaman town. Taxis and rental cars provide additional transportation options.
When booking a private transfer, passengers should provide the correct flight details, complete destination address, number of travellers and realistic luggage requirements. For villas and resorts outside town centres, precise property information is particularly useful.
With airport transfers, chauffeur service and long-distance private transportation available from Dalaman Airport, visitors can arrange their onward journey before travelling and continue directly to Fethiye, Göcek, Marmaris, Ölüdeniz or another destination across the region.
