How the Gaziantep Taxi Meter Works
The Gaziantep tariff (effective 09 February 2026) has a single flat rate — there is no day/night difference and no separate motorway or bridge toll.
| Charge | Rate |
|---|---|
| Flag-fall (açılış ücreti) | 50 TRY |
| Boarding fee (indi-bindi) | 200 TRY |
| Per kilometre | 50 TRY/km |
| Waiting / hourly | 500 TRY/hour |
| Night surcharge | None |
Example calculation — city centre (~20 km): 50 TRY (flag-fall) + 200 TRY (indi-bindi) + (20 × 50 TRY) = 50 + 200 + 1,000 = 1,250 TRY
Note: The boarding fee (indi-bindi) is charged once per trip. Estimates in the table above reflect real-world meter readings; minor variation is normal depending on exact route taken.
Example — Nizip (~45 km): 50 + 200 + (45 × 50) = 50 + 200 + 2,250 = 2,500 TRY (table shows ~2,350 TRY as a mid-range estimate)
Where to Find Taxis at GZT
The official taxi rank is directly outside the arrivals exit. Taxis are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Important rules:
- Always board from the official rank — never accept offers from touts inside the terminal.
- All official taxis have a working digital meter — ask the driver to start it immediately after boarding.
- If a driver refuses to use the meter or quotes a fixed price, exit the vehicle and take the next taxi.
- There is no night surcharge in Gaziantep — the fare is the same at 02:00 as at 14:00.
Taxi vs. Havaş Shuttle
For solo travellers and couples, the Havaş shuttle is dramatically cheaper. The taxi begins to make financial sense only for groups.
| Destination | Taxi | Havaş Shuttle | Break-even group size |
|---|---|---|---|
| City centre | ~1,100 TRY | 200 TRY/person | 5+ people |
| Otogar | ~1,200 TRY | 200 TRY/person | 5+ people |
| Nizip | ~2,350 TRY | 220 TRY/person | 5+ people |
Choose a taxi when:
- Your destination is not served by Havaş (e.g. a specific neighbourhood or village)
- Travelling in a large group where per-person cost approaches shuttle fare
- Arriving late at night and needing guaranteed door-to-door service immediately
Choose the Havaş shuttle when:
- Travelling alone or as a couple to any Havaş-served destination
- Budget is a priority — saving can exceed 900 TRY on the city centre route for solo travellers
- Going to the otogar to catch an intercity coach
