3. Basic Characteristics of the Service and Sale Price

The type, route, date, time, vehicle class, passenger capacity and VAT-inclusive sale price of the service are shown in detail in the booking steps and in the booking confirmation email. This information forms an integral part of this Agreement.

  • Prices published on the Site are in Turkish Lira (TL) and include VAT.
  • Unless expressly stated otherwise, the price includes the driver’s fee, fuel, highway/bridge tolls and personal accident insurance.
  • Items not included in the price (e.g. exceeding the published kilometre limit, off-route requests, exceeding the waiting time, accommodation/parking fees) are communicated separately during booking.
  • Published prices remain valid until they are updated. Prices published for a limited period are valid until the end of that period.
  • In the event of an inadvertent pricing error on the Site, the SELLER will notify the BUYER immediately; the BUYER may cancel the order or continue at the correct price. In case of cancellation, the amount collected will be refunded.

4. Payment Method and Security

Payment can be made through the Site by credit/debit card, or by bank transfer/EFT to the bank account provided by the SELLER.

  • Card payments are processed through the infrastructure of iyzico Ödeme Hizmetleri A.Ş., a payment institution licensed by the BDDK (Banking Regulation and Supervision Agency of Türkiye).
  • The BUYER’s card details are never seen, recorded or stored by the SELLER.
  • Transactions are carried out with 3D Secure verification where supported by the bank; data transmission is encrypted with SSL/TLS.
  • Instalment options are subject to the policy of the bank that issued the BUYER’s card. Any interest and charges arising from instalments are the responsibility of the bank.
  • If payment is not completed due to the BUYER’s fault, the SELLER is released from its obligation to perform the service.
  • If it is determined that the card was used without the BUYER’s consent, the SELLER reserves the right to cancel the order and take the necessary legal action.

5. Performance of the Service

  • A booking is confirmed once the payment has been verified by the SELLER, and a booking confirmation is sent to the BUYER by email.
  • The service is performed on the date and time, and at the meeting point specified in the booking. Vehicle and driver details are sent to the BUYER before the trip.
  • Flights are tracked for airport transfers; if a flight is delayed, the pick-up time is updated free of charge.
  • Provided that the booked vehicle class and capacity are maintained, the SELLER reserves the right to replace the vehicle with one of an equivalent or higher class in case of technical necessity. The BUYER will be informed in advance and no additional fee will be charged.
  • If the BUYER is not present at the meeting point (no-show), the service is deemed to have been performed after a maximum waiting time of 60 minutes, and the fee is not refunded.

6. Right of Withdrawal

Under Article 15/1-g of the Distance Contracts Regulation, “contracts for accommodation, transportation of goods, car rental, food and beverage supply, and leisure activities for entertainment or recreation that must be performed on a specific date or within a specific period” are among the exceptions to the right of withdrawal.

Therefore, there is no 14-day statutory right of withdrawal for vehicle rental, transfer and accommodation services purchased through the Site. By confirming the order, the BUYER declares that they accept this.

Although there is no statutory right of withdrawal, the SELLER applies a cancellation and refund policy at its own initiative for customer satisfaction. The terms are set out in Article 7 of this Agreement and on the Delivery and Return Policy page.
