Taxi Taxis are cheaper than in most other European countries. Taxis in Turkey are bright yellow in colour. Also taxis driver are all licensed so please check to keep safe. Taxis may also travel between cities or from cities or airports to resort towns. For these longer trips of, say, 10 or 20 km (6 to 12 miles) or more, set rates may have been established. If not, you may want to haggle for an agreeable rate before you begin your journey. Turks don't tip taxi drivers, they round up the fare. If it ends up being, say, TL8.75, a Turk will just round it up to TL9. In many cases if the fare is TL9.25, the driver will require only TL9. All taxis in Turkey are equipped with taximeters but after midnight we recommend to ask driver the cost before the trip as the cost may be higher in comparison to daytime.
