Thirty-five euros, and nothing missing from it

For sixteen kilometres into a city of four and a half million, thirty-five euros for a vehicle carrying up to fourteen is the lowest fare per kilometre on this site. It is not a stripped product: forty-eight reviews at 4.89, one flat price whatever the party size. Short routes into large cities are the most competed transfers there are, and this is what that competition looks like.

Where the two estimates part company

Our engines agree the drive is sixteen kilometres, to within 180 metres, and then disagree about how long it takes by thirteen minutes: seventeen against thirty. Neither is wrong. One models city streets optimistically and the other does not, and on a weekday afternoon between Gaziemir and Konak the pessimist is closer. Every figure on this site is free-flow, and this is the route where that caveat costs the most.

South of the city, which changes the arithmetic

The airport is on the southern edge, so it is nearer the Aegean resorts than the city is. Going into Izmir first on the way to Kusadasi or Alacati adds thirty-two kilometres and doubles back. If the city is a stop rather than the destination, it is worth checking whether it belongs at the start of the trip or the end of it.
