Trabzon Airport to Samsun transfer: the easiest way to get there
When you land at Trabzon Airport, the last thing you want is to work out how to get from the airport to Samsun. 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 Trabzon Airport to Samsun 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 Trabzon Airport to Samsun 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 Samsun in Trabzon is like, where to stay and eat, when to travel, where you meet your driver at Trabzon Airport, which vehicles we use and how the booking works.
Arriving at Trabzon Airport (TZX)
Trabzon Airport (TZX) sits on the shore only about 6 km east of the city centre, with Uzungöl about 95 km and Sumela about 45 km into the mountains.
Whichever hall you come out of, the routine for a Trabzon Airport to Samsun 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 Trabzon Airport is tracked against the live arrival time - so there is no need to call, though a message is always welcome.
Searches for "TZX to Samsun" or "TZX airport transfer" land here for a reason: TZX is the airport code for Trabzon Airport, and this is the private-car service that connects it with Samsun.
Trabzon Airport to Samsun at a glance
Service: private transfer, your own vehicle from Trabzon Airport to Samsun, door to door. Vehicles: Sedan (1–3 passengers), Minivan (1–7 passengers) and Sprinter (8–13 passengers) - Mercedes, Volkswagen, Ford Transit and Peugeot Traveller models, air-conditioned, with room for luggage. 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 Trabzon Airport, at the point named in your confirmation, with flight tracking so a delay moves the pickup. Booking: the form on this page or a WhatsApp message; confirmation in writing within minutes, in Arabic or English.
Taxi or private transfer from Trabzon Airport to Samsun?
The airport taxi fare from Trabzon Airport to Samsun is unpredictable: meters, night tariffs, tolls and traffic all move it, and you only learn the total at the door. A pre-booked Trabzon Airport to Samsun transfer is the opposite - one fixed cost for the vehicle, however long the drive takes, with the price agreed before your trip.
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 Trabzon Airport to Samsun per person - and by far the easiest. Public transport to Samsun 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 Samsun, 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 Trabzon Airport to Samsun: is there a bus, train or metro?
Trabzon has no rail; city buses reach the centre from the airport but not Uzungöl, Sumela or the highland hotels, which are mountain drives of one to two hours where a private car with a local driver is the sensible choice.
Many of our guests have tried the public route into Samsun 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 Trabzon Airport to Samsun transfer starts at the arrivals door and ends at the reception desk, and the fixed price covers the whole vehicle.
About Samsun
Trabzon is the main city of Turkey's Black Sea coast, green and steep, with the airport (TZX) only about 6 km east of the centre on the shore, Uzungöl lake about 95 km into the mountains, the Sumela Monastery 45 km away and the Ayder plateau across the border into Rize.
Samsun in Trabzon is part of a city that visitors know by its neighbourhoods: Uzungöl in the Solaklı valley, Maçka on the Sumela road, Of and Çaykara towards Rize and Meydan, the central square. Whichever of them you are staying in, the Trabzon Airport to Samsun transfer is priced for the whole vehicle, door to door.
The things most people come to Trabzon to see include the Zigana pass and Hamsiköy, Ayder plateau and hot springs, Sumela Monastery on its cliff, Uzungöl lake and village and Hagia Sophia of Trabzon. Arriving by private transfer from Trabzon Airport means you start on them rested, with the luggage already at the hotel.
Hotels in Samsun: where the transfer takes you
Whether you are staying in a large hotel, a small guesthouse or a rented apartment in Samsun, the transfer is door to door. Our drivers know the hotels of Akçaabat and its fishing harbour to the west, Yomra and Arsin near the airport and Uzungöl in the Solaklı valley well, and any other address in Trabzon 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 Trabzon Airport to Samsun drive
Once the bags are down, Trabzon rewards a walk to dinner. Things worth trying near Samsun: Laz böreği pastry, Hamsiköy rice pudding, Black Sea tea in a Boztepe garden and Akçaabat köfte. 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 Trabzon Airport.
Best time to travel from Trabzon Airport to Samsun
The Black Sea is mild and wet: summers are green and busy, especially with Gulf visitors from June to September, and winters bring snow to Uzungöl and the plateaus while the coast stays open.
Seasonal traffic is the driver's problem, not yours: the Trabzon Airport to Samsun price is agreed in advance and a slower drive costs nothing extra. If you are travelling at a busy time, let the desk know your plans for the day of arrival and they will suggest the best pickup timing.
Meeting your driver at Trabzon Airport
Every airport is laid out differently, and Trabzon Airport is no exception: some airports have a fixed meeting point inside the terminal, some have a specific exit where drivers may wait, and at others the driver stands just beyond customs with a sign. Because of that we do not print one rule here. When we confirm your Trabzon Airport to Samsun transfer on WhatsApp, we tell you exactly where your driver will be, with the driver's name and a phone number you can message the moment you land.
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 Trabzon Airport.
Our vehicles for the Trabzon Airport to Samsun 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.

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 Trabzon Airport to Samsun transfer
Who uses a private transfer from Trabzon Airport to Samsun? Couples who would rather not start a holiday in a taxi queue; families who need child seats and space for a pushchair; groups of six to thirteen who want to arrive together in one vehicle; business travellers with a meeting the same day; and travellers landing at night, when public transport is thin and a fixed price is worth more than ever. Every one of them books the same way - a WhatsApp message - and gets the same written confirmation.
The transfer is the first thing most guests book with us and rarely the last; day trips from Samsun and the ride back to Trabzon Airport are arranged in the same conversation.
Families, groups and business travel from Trabzon Airport to Samsun
Travelling with children changes what matters: a child seat fitted before you arrive, space for the pushchair, a driver who is not in a hurry, and no waiting in a queue with tired kids. Say the ages when you book the Trabzon Airport to Samsun transfer and the right seats are in the car; a minivan gives a family of five room to spread out, and the fixed price is the same whether the drive is quick or slow.
Older travellers and anyone who walks slowly are met as close to the arrivals exit as Trabzon Airport allows, and the driver helps with the bags at both ends; a wheelchair folds into any of our vans - just tell us when you book.

Book both directions together and the desk keeps them on one confirmation.
The Samsun to Trabzon Airport leg is the same fixed price, and the driver drops the bags at the right departures entrance so you are not hunting for the terminal yourself.

Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers to what travellers ask us most, before they book.
Where do I meet my driver at Trabzon Airport?
It depends on the airport: some have a fixed meeting point inside arrivals, some a specific exit, and at others the driver waits just beyond customs with a sign carrying your name.
