Routes we run in Rize

13 private transfer routes are listed for Rize, from Rize Airport and Rize: destinations include Uzungöl, Ayder, Hotel, Rize City Centre, Camlihemsin, Pokut, Artvin, Batumi, Trabzon Airport, Ayder, Uzungol and Trabzon. 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.

There is no rail on this coast; minibuses run between the towns and up to Ayder in season, but highland villages such as Pokut have no public transport and need a driver who knows the tracks.

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.

Our WhatsApp desk answers day and night in Arabic and English, confirms each booking in writing and stays reachable for the whole trip.

Frequently Asked Questions

Straight answers to what travellers ask us most, before they book.

How much does a transfer from the airport to Rize 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 Rize?

There is no rail on this coast; minibuses run between the towns and up to Ayder in season, but highland villages such as Pokut have no public transport and need a driver who knows the tracks. 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 Rize?

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.
