Çukurova (Adana) Airport Taxi Fares 2026, Adana & Mersin
Official metered taxis are available 24 hours at the exit of Çukurova International Airport (COV). The airport is approximately 35 km from Adana city centre and 20 km from central Tarsus. Because of this distance, taxi fares are considerably higher than typical city-centre rides, but taxis provide door-to-door delivery at any hour. For the Adana city centre run, the Havamaş shuttle (300 TRY) is substantially cheaper. Taxis are the best choice for late-night arrivals when shuttles may feel uncertain, or for guests in suburban addresses not on the Havamaş route.
