Quoting bod: Quoting Ade1: Quoting bod: Is there a standard rate for taxi's that is consistent across the country???
In England there can be upto 10 different rates in the same place - the maximum rate for "Hackney Carriages" is set by the local council but for private hire (which you have to pre-book) the rate are determined by local competition! |
as far i know when you enter a cab in turkiye the machine sets off at 1.5 ytl,then it is charged by the mile,but i'm not sure how much it is,i suppose its how far around the houses they feel like taking you at that time |
As most of the taxis I am likely to use don't have a choice of route, that doesn't really matter!!!
What I was asking was, if I catch a taxi in İstanbul and travel 8kms then will it cost me the same as catching a taxi and travelling 8kms in İzmir??? |
ive asked my wife and she says that the taxi meters in turkiye are all the same is that direct enough?look i didnt even make a joke

There is a standart rate but the standart is different in every city. The council decides on the rate.
So there is a rate in Istanbul and another rate in Antalya and another rate in İzmir etc.
Taxi have those machines that show the price. They a button on them to swich to day tarrif or night tarrif. Night tarrif is after 12 pm.
If you mention the word "airport" they will swich immediately to night tarrif no mattar what time it is and no matter what your location is within the city.
If this diagram if you are on "a" and want to go to the airport which is on "c" you start paying night tarrif from "a to c", all the way long. If you are going from "a to b" you pay normal tarif.
a..........................b..c
