Transfers take one hour from Izmir, Adnan Menderes Airport. Villas in Turkey advise the pre-booking of car hire, car or mini bus transfers. We can book these on your behalf. Prices on request.
Should you book a private car transfer for up to 4 people, please consider if this will be suitable for the size of your party and luggage, as the seating arrangement will be driver, 1 adult in the passenger seat and 3 people in the back. The driver reserves the right refuse passengers should the party with its luggage mean the car is excessively loaded breaking legal and insurance requirements. We normally advise that a private car transfer is best suited to 3 adults, or 2 adults and 2 small children. For 5 people or more we can book a mini bus transfer.
Should you wish to explore the region at your own pace and discover secluded bays and villages off the beaten track then car hire is advisable. Some of the local companies will pick you up and return you to the airport free of charge if you hire a car for one week or more. We can arrange car hire on your behalf and you pay the local car hire company on your arrival.
It is a condition of booking that you protect yourself and the rest of your party by taking out adequate holiday insurance, should you find yourself in the misfortunate position of needing to use it. There are various competitive deals available on holiday insurance, however it is advisable to shop around and obtain a policy that offers you a good level of cover. A good starting point is your local post office or bank. Alternatively look in yellow pages or on the internet for specific insurance companies.
At the very least it should cover, cancellation of, or cutting short, your holiday, illness or injury while you are away; loss or theft of your belongings; delayed or missed connection and liability for accidents to others. Also, if you plan to try out sports or activities on holiday that could be considered hazardous, such as scuba diving, a standard policy may not cover you. You may be able to get this added to your insurance. If not, you need to arrange a specialist policy.
Important things to consider when buying your holiday insurance.
- Make sure you understand what you are covered for and what you are not
- Take as much care with your possessions as you would if you were uninsured
- Take the insurers contact details with you and a copy of your policy - always call them for consent if you are booking something which will form part of your claim
- Keep bills and receipts to support your claim
- Know what's expected of you - if you are claiming for a stolen item, have you notified the police?
