The airports serving Almaty
Almaty International Airport (ALA) is about 15 km north-east of the centre with a domestic Terminal 1 and an international Terminal 2 joined by an indoor bridge; Shymbulak is about 40 km, Charyn Canyon about 205 km and Bishkek about 250 km away.
Routes we run in Almaty
12 private transfer routes are listed for Almaty, from Almaty Airport: destinations include Kolsay Lakes, Altyn-Emel National Park, Bishkek, Almaty City Centre, Almaty-2 Railway Station, Medeu, Shymbulak, Big Almaty Lake, Kapchagay, Issyk Lake, Charyn Canyon and Tamgaly Petroglyphs. Each route has its own page with the distance, the drive time, the vehicles and the booking form; if your hotel is not named, book the nearest and tell the desk the exact address - the price is per vehicle and rarely changes for a nearby address.
Bus 92 and taxi apps link the airport with the city and are inexpensive, and the single-line metro does not reach the airport; a private car is simpler for the mountain resorts and for the long day trips to Charyn Canyon, Kolsay and Bishkek.
Vehicles
Sedan for one to three passengers, minivan or GMC for up to seven, Sprinter for eight to thirteen; Mercedes, Volkswagen, Ford Transit and Peugeot Traveller models, air-conditioned, with proper luggage space. Child seats on request at no extra charge. The desk recommends the size once it knows how many of you there are and how many bags.
How the transfer works
Every transfer is private - no sharing, no extra stops unless you ask - and priced for the vehicle, so a family of five pays one figure. Flights are tracked against the real arrival time; late-night and early-morning pickups run as normal; and the same desk arranges the return, a day trip or an intercity transfer later in the stay.
Prices are fixed and confirmed on WhatsApp before you pay; the same conversation handles changes, questions and the next booking.

Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers to what travellers ask us most, before they book.
How much does a transfer from the airport to Almaty cost?
Prices are fixed per vehicle and shown on each route page and in its booking form; the figure you see is the figure you pay, confirmed on WhatsApp before you travel. A family or group pays for the vehicle, not per person.
Where do I meet the driver at the airport?
It varies by airport and terminal: a set meeting point inside arrivals, a specific exit, or the driver with a name board just after customs. Your WhatsApp confirmation gives the exact place, the driver's name and a phone number.
What if my flight is delayed?
Nothing to do - every transfer is flight-tracked, the pickup moves with the real landing time, and waiting time is included.
Is the transfer private or shared?
Private. The vehicle carries your party only, from the arrivals door to your address, with no other passengers.
Which vehicle should I choose?
Sedan for up to three with normal luggage, minivan or GMC for up to seven, Sprinter for up to thirteen. If unsure, tell the desk the number of passengers and bags and it recommends one before you pay.
Do you provide child seats?
Yes - say the ages when you book and the driver brings the right seats or boosters at no extra charge.
Is there a bus, train or metro from the airport to Almaty?
Bus 92 and taxi apps link the airport with the city and are inexpensive, and the single-line metro does not reach the airport; a private car is simpler for the mountain resorts and for the long day trips to Charyn Canyon, Kolsay and Bishkek. For anyone with luggage, a family or a late flight, the private car is the simpler choice.
Can I book the return to the airport too?
Yes. Send the departure flight and the hotel; the driver collects you with a comfortable margin, and both directions sit on one confirmation.
Do you run transfers to other cities from Almaty?
Yes - intercity transfers by private car or van are booked the same way; tell the desk the destination and it quotes a fixed price for the whole vehicle.
Which language does the driver speak?
It depends on the country, the city and the time of the transfer, so we do not promise a particular language. Tell us your preference and we do our best; the WhatsApp desk always works in Arabic and English.
How and when do I pay?
After the written confirmation, never before. The desk explains the payment options on WhatsApp once the price, the vehicle and the meeting point are confirmed.
Can I change or cancel?
Yes, in the same WhatsApp conversation. The terms depend on how close to the pickup the change comes, and the desk states them before any payment.
