This is great, thst informstion is now gonna pop up as memory when im there next week 😄 couple taxi questions. 1. I hear taxis sometimes dare asking extra money for the last part of the trip or they kick you out. Is that happening often? 2. Te remedy one, i was told to arrange a fixed price. Is thst a normal thing to do? 3. I hear haggling is a thing there tooz should one haggle for the taxi price??

[@BurakUnal1]

For taxi, it is better to make them open the taximeter and go with it. Also, check on google maps if the taxi driver goes the right way.

[@Calvin-vz5fk]

Should I transfer my euros/usd into the currency that Turkey uses instead of using my card? Also does the airport has a money exchange machine?

It depends on your bank's currency exchange rate. I recommend having some turkish lira with you, some places work cash onyl :))

Hello Burak, GREAT Video ! Some questions: 1) Can I pay a Taxi with a Debit Card ? 2) What is the everage price, by Taxi, tô go from IST airport to Sutanamet ? 3) For 2 people do you suggest a yellow Taksi ? 4) Is there a meter on the Taksi or it is a fixed price they charged ? The last but not the least... What is best area to exchange money in the airport ? Thank you so much for your help. Keep the good job. Take care my friend !

[@BurakUnal1]

You are welcome. Answers below: 1. Yes you can in most taxies. 2. Probably 500-600TL i guess 3. Yes, yellow taxi is enough for 2 people. You can also check Havaist bus 4. There is a taxi meter. Ask them to open the taximeter. 5. At airport, change small money. The rates are not good. Change the big money at Grand Bazaar. I have a video about it on my channel.

[@antoniomorais1503]

Sorry Burak ... Last question: Is there Uber at IST airport ? Thank you again.

Hi, my friend! Thank you very much for the videos! One question, taxi only accepts cash? Do you think the bestway is changing some money in the airport, them grand baazar?

[@BurakUnal1]

Most taxis accept credit cards too. However, it is better to change some money ($50) at the airport to be safe. Then, you can change your big money at grand bazaar (I have a video about it).

Thank you for the video very helpful. My family and I (2 adults 4 children) will be on an 8 hour layover in March at Istanbul airport. Would the black taxis be the best and quickest to get to city center for maybe 4 hours to see the city? If so, how would I find one in the city center to take me back to the airport. Thank you

[@BurakUnal1]

You have two options: - Getting a black taxi to fit your family (6 people) - Or you can arrange a vip shuttle at airport and they can give you a city sight seeing service for 8 hours (they will take you from airport and bring you back) For vip shuttles, just type istanbul airport vip shuttle on google.
