Our Verdict
For Antalya airport transfers, Uber is simply NOT an option — Uber does not operate from AYT terminal due to local regulations. You would need to either take a taxi/shuttle to Antalya city center first (adding 30-45 minutes and extra cost) before requesting an Uber. Private transfer is the only practical pre-booked option for direct airport-to-hotel transfers in Antalya. For city-only rides, Uber works but private transfer is still safer for first-time tourists.
