🚖 Uber in Turkey

Uber operates in several Turkish cities (mainly Istanbul, Antalya, Ankara, Izmir).
Unlike many other countries, in Turkey Uber is directly connected to licensed taxis from the municipality
(Yellow / Turquoise / Black).

✅ Key Features

  • Book official taxis via the app without bargaining.
  • See the estimated fare before confirming your ride.
  • Payment options: in-app (credit card / PayPal in some countries) or cash.
  • Trip sharing and live driver tracking.
  • Available for airport transfers (IST & SAW) and major hotels.

🧭 How to Use Uber in Turkey

  1. Download the Uber app and log in (with your global account or create a new one).
  2. Enter your pickup and destination points.
  3. Select taxi type (Yellow, Turquoise, Black).
  4. Review the estimated fare and tap Confirm.
  5. Pay in cash or with your registered card.

💡 Tips

  • During rush hours, wait times may be longer compared to BiTaksi.
  • Uber in Turkey = official taxis, not private cars.
  • Best for long rides (like airports) to ensure a fair price.
  • Always check the taxi color/type (Yellow = budget, Turquoise = newer, Black = luxury).
