Rize Airport to Trabzon Airport transfer: the easiest way to get there
When you land at Rize Airport, the last thing you want is to work out how to get from the airport to Trabzon Airport. A private airport transfer takes the question away: a Haqqi Tours driver is at arrivals when you walk out, your vehicle is parked minutes away, and the cost of the Rize Airport to Trabzon Airport transfer was fixed on WhatsApp before you left home. There is no airport taxi queue, no meter running in traffic and no negotiating a fare in a language you may not speak.
This page covers everything travellers ask about the Rize Airport to Trabzon Airport route: how far it is and how long it takes, whether an airport taxi, public transport or a private transfer is the better choice, what Trabzon Airport in Rize is like, where to stay and eat, when to travel, where you meet your driver at Rize Airport, which vehicles we use and how the booking works.
Arriving at Rize Airport (RZV)
Rize-Artvin Airport (RZV), opened in 2022 on land reclaimed from the sea, is about 35 km east of Rize and the closest airport to Ayder, Çamlıhemşin and the Pokut highlands.
Whichever hall you come out of, the routine for a Rize Airport to Trabzon Airport transfer is the same: collect your bags, clear passport control, switch on your phone, and follow the meeting instruction from your WhatsApp confirmation. Your driver already knows your flight has landed - every pickup at Rize Airport is tracked against the live arrival time - so there is no need to call, though a message is always welcome.
Searches for "RZV to Trabzon Airport" or "RZV airport transfer" land here for a reason: RZV is the airport code for Rize Airport, and this is the private-car service that connects it with Trabzon Airport.

Service: private transfer, your own vehicle from Rize Airport to Trabzon Airport, door to door.

Price: fixed for the whole vehicle and agreed on WhatsApp before you travel, tolls and waiting included, nothing to pay the driver on the day. Meeting: at Rize Airport, at the point named in your confirmation, with flight tracking so a delay moves the pickup.

Taxi or private transfer from Rize Airport to Trabzon Airport?
Travellers searching for "Rize Airport to Trabzon Airport taxi cost" usually find a range rather than a number, because taxi fares depend on the meter, the hour and the route. Our private transfer gives you a single fixed price for the whole vehicle, agreed on WhatsApp in advance, so the cost of getting from Rize Airport to Trabzon Airport is known before you land.
For one traveller with a small bag, a taxi or public transport can be a fair choice. For two or more people, a family with children, or anyone with real luggage, a private transfer is normally the cheapest way to get from Rize Airport to Trabzon Airport per person - and by far the easiest. Public transport to Trabzon Airport involves changes, tickets and stairs; a private car goes to the hotel door.
There is also the question of trust. Our drivers know the hotels of Trabzon Airport, work on a fixed price, and never take a detour or add a "special fare" at the end. Your booking is confirmed by a real person on a WhatsApp desk that works in Arabic and English, and that same desk is reachable throughout your trip.
Public transport from Rize Airport to Trabzon Airport: is there a bus, train or metro?
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.
Many of our guests have tried the public route into Trabzon Airport once and booked the car ever after. The difference is not only speed but effort: no ticket machines in a foreign language, no stairs with suitcases, no working out the last mile to the hotel. A private Rize Airport to Trabzon Airport transfer starts at the arrivals door and ends at the reception desk, and the fixed price covers the whole vehicle.
About Trabzon Airport
Rize is the tea capital of Turkey's eastern Black Sea coast, its hills terraced with tea gardens above the sea; Rize-Artvin Airport (RZV), built on reclaimed land east of the city, opened in 2022, and Trabzon Airport (TZX) is about 80 km to the west. Ayder plateau, Çamlıhemşin and the Fırtına valley lie in the mountains behind.
Around Trabzon Airport the areas travellers ask us about most are Çayeli and Pazar, İkizdere valley and Anzer, Rize centre and the castle tea garden and Ardeşen and Fındıklı along the coast. Tell us the hotel and the driver takes the best route into that part of Rize on the day.
On the list for most visitors to Rize: Palovit waterfall, Anzer honey valley, Ayder plateau and its hot springs, the Fırtına valley stone bridges and Zilkale castle. Many guests ask the driver on the Rize Airport to Trabzon Airport drive which to do first - they have an opinion, and it is usually right.
Hotels in Trabzon Airport: where the transfer takes you
Whether you are staying in a large hotel, a small guesthouse or a rented apartment in Trabzon Airport, the transfer is door to door. Our drivers know the hotels of Çayeli and Pazar, İkizdere valley and Anzer and Rize centre and the castle tea garden well, and any other address in Rize is fine - tell us where, and if the lane is too narrow for a car the driver stops at the nearest point and helps with the bags.
Eating well after the Rize Airport to Trabzon Airport drive
Once the bags are down, Rize rewards a walk to dinner. Things worth trying near Trabzon Airport: mıhlama (kuymak), Laz böreği, hamsi dishes in season and Anzer honey. If you land late and want somewhere open, say so on WhatsApp and the desk suggests a place near your hotel - or ask the driver on the way in from Rize Airport.
Best time to travel from Rize Airport to Trabzon Airport
Rize is wet all year and green because of it; summer is the highland season for Ayder and Pokut, while winter snow closes the highest plateaus and keeps the coast road open.
Whatever the month, the transfer runs around the clock and the fixed price is the same at 3 a.m. as at noon. What the season affects is journey time, and our drivers adjust the route and the pickup plan for Trabzon Airport accordingly - one more reason to give us the flight number when you book.
Meeting your driver at Rize Airport
Where you meet your driver depends on Rize Airport: a set meeting point inside arrivals, a designated exit, or a name board held just after customs. Rather than guess, we send the exact instructions with your WhatsApp confirmation - the meeting place, the driver's name and number, and what to do if you cannot see them. If your flight is delayed, we know: every Rize Airport to Trabzon Airport transfer is flight-tracked and the pickup moves with your real landing time.
Waiting time after landing is included, and if you are delayed at baggage or passport control a quick WhatsApp message keeps everyone informed. On the way back, the driver collects you from the hotel at an agreed time with enough margin for your flight from Rize Airport.
Our vehicles for the Rize Airport to Trabzon Airport transfer
For this route we offer Sedan (1–3 passengers), Minivan (1–7 passengers) and Sprinter (8–13 passengers). The vans are Mercedes, Volkswagen, Ford Transit and Peugeot Traveller models, all recent, air-conditioned and cleaned between journeys, with proper luggage space rather than a crowded boot. Choose the vehicle by how many of you are travelling and how much luggage you bring; the desk will tell you if a larger vehicle would be more comfortable.
Child seats and booster seats are available on request - say the ages of the children when you book and we bring the right ones. Extra-large luggage, sports equipment and wheelchairs are all fine; just mention them so the right vehicle is sent.
As a guide, the sedan suits one to three people with normal suitcases, the minivan or GMC a family or group of up to seven with their luggage, and the Sprinter larger parties of up to thirteen; there is cold water in the car, phone chargers in most models, and no smoking.
Who books the Rize Airport to Trabzon Airport transfer
Families are our most frequent guests on this route: a private car means the children are strapped into proper seats, the pushchair goes in the back, and nobody is counting change for tickets. Groups of friends and extended families take the Sprinter or a minivan so the whole party travels together from Rize Airport to Trabzon Airport on one fixed price. Older travellers book it for the door-to-door help with the bags, and couples for a calm start to the trip instead of a taxi queue.
Many guests add a second leg later in the trip: a day out from Trabzon Airport, an onward transfer or the return to Rize Airport. It is all handled in the chat you already have open.
Families, groups and business travel from Rize Airport to Trabzon Airport
Business travellers book the Rize Airport to Trabzon Airport transfer for certainty rather than comfort, though they get both: a name board at arrivals, a quiet, clean car, a driver who knows the route to the hotel or the office, and a receipt for expenses. Early meetings, late flights and last-minute changes are normal on this route, and the WhatsApp desk handles them without fuss.
Whatever the group, the confirmation you receive lists the vehicle, the fixed price, the pickup time and the meeting point at Rize Airport - one message you can show anyone who asks.

Trabzon Airport to Rize Airport: the return transfer
The same service runs the other way. For a Trabzon Airport to Rize Airport transfer we collect you from your hotel at an agreed time, with a comfortable margin for check-in and security at Rize Airport, and the driver helps with the luggage at both ends. Book both directions together and the desk keeps them on one confirmation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers to what travellers ask us most, before they book.
Where do I meet my driver at Rize Airport?
Your WhatsApp confirmation tells you. Airports differ - Rize Airport may use an indoor meeting point, a set exit or a name board just past customs - so rather than a general rule we send the exact spot for your flight, with the driver's name and number. Walk out, look where the message says, and your driver is there.
How far is Trabzon Airport from Rize Airport, and how long does the transfer take?
It is a direct drive. Traffic at rush hour or on holiday weekends can add a little; the price of your Rize Airport to Trabzon Airport transfer is fixed in advance, so a slower drive never costs more.
Is a private transfer cheaper than an airport taxi from Rize Airport to Trabzon Airport?
For two or more people, or anyone with luggage, it usually is - and it is always more predictable.

You will see the exact figure for your group in the booking form on this page.

With luggage, a family or after a long flight, a pre-booked private transfer is the easiest and most comfortable way: door to door, no queue, no changes.

A private car takes you straight to your hotel in Trabzon Airport.
Is there a bus, train or metro from Rize Airport to Trabzon Airport?
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.
