The bays, marinas and beach clubs of the Bodrum peninsula look close on the map, but narrow roads, parking and late-night returns quickly eat into a holiday. Hire a car with a private driver by the hour and the VIP vehicle and chauffeur are yours alone for the whole package, from Gümüşlük sunsets to lunch in Türkbükü. Prices are in the table above and booking online takes a few minutes.
Who hires a private driver in Bodrum?
- Peninsula explorers: sunset in Gümüşlük, shopping at Yalıkavak Marina, lunch in Gündoğan or Türkbükü – with the car waiting at every stop.
- Villa guests: families staying in a villa in Yalıkavak, Türkbükü or Torba who want one car all day for the supermarket, beaches and restaurants.
- Marina and yacht guests: embarkation at Milta Bodrum Marina or Yalıkavak Marina, provisioning runs and crew changes.
- Beach club and night out: dinner and a club without hunting for a taxi afterwards; the driver waits until you are ready.
- Cruise passengers: pick-up at Bodrum Cruise Port for the castle, the old bazaar and a peninsula drive, planned around your all-aboard time.
- Weddings and parties: a Maybach for the couple and Sprinters for guests at Bodrum and Türkbükü hotels – see Bodrum wedding transfer.
