If you need one car all day in Izmir – for meetings, a trade fair, or a trip to Ephesus or the Urla vineyards – hourly chauffeur hire is the easy answer. For the whole package the VIP vehicle and professional driver are yours alone, from Alsancak to Gaziemir and from Kemeraltı to the wineries. Prices are in the table above and you can book online.
Who hires a private driver in Izmir?
- Business travellers and delegations: meetings between Alsancak, Bayraklı and the industrial zones; companies exhibiting at Fuar İzmir in Gaziemir moving between stand, hotel and dinner.
- City explorers: Kemeraltı bazaar, Kızlarağası Han, the historic Elevator (Asansör), Kadifekale and an evening stroll along the Kordon.
- An Ephesus and Şirince day: ancient Ephesus, the House of the Virgin Mary and the village of Şirince; the driver waits in the car park while you explore.
- Urla wine route: wineries around Urla and Seferihisar and seafood at Urla İskele – and nobody in your group has to drive back.
- Cruise passengers: pick-up at Alsancak cruise port for a city or Ephesus day, planned around your all-aboard time.
- Weddings and events: bridal car and guest shuttles – see Izmir wedding transfer.

How it works
- Choose a package: 6, 8, 12, 16, 20 or 24 hours; included kilometres for each are in the table above.
- Start: hotel, office, the fairground, Alsancak cruise port or Adnan Menderes Airport – the day can begin with your airport pick-up.
- The driver waits: through meetings, museums, wine tastings and meals.
- Flexible route: if plans change, just tell the driver.
- Extra hours and km: paid at the end at the unit rates shown in the table.
- Child seats: free of charge on request.
If you only need to get from the airport into town, an Adnan Menderes Airport to Konak or Urla transfer is the better fit.
Choosing a vehicle by group size
- VIP Mercedes Vito (up to 6 people): business teams, families and small groups.
- Ultra VIP Maybach: senior executives, VIP guests and weddings.
- VIP VAN (up to 10 people): larger families and groups with luggage.
- VIP Minibus Sprinter (up to 14 people): trade-fair teams, congress delegations and wedding guests.
In Izmir the Bayraklı–Konak corridor and the ring road are busiest in the morning and evening. On long routes such as Ephesus an early start beats both the traffic and the midday heat, and your driver will plan the route for the day.
