How does the Rize airport transfer from RZV work?
A Rize airport transfer from Rize-Artvin Airport to Rize city centre is a private, pre-booked ride: the driver meets you at the exit of the arrivals hall holding a sign with your name, helps with your luggage and takes you directly to your address in Rize. Because the driver tracks your flight, a delayed landing automatically shifts your pick-up time at no extra cost, and 60 minutes of waiting after landing are free at the airport.
Rize-Artvin Airport (RZV) is built on land reclaimed from the sea off Yeşilköy in the Pazar district and opened on 14 May 2022. It sits about 34 km east of Rize city centre and is much closer than Trabzon Airport to Ayder Plateau and the Sarp border gate, so the drive into Rize stays short even in summer. The base vehicle for this private transfer is a 6-seat Mercedes Vito, and you can request a free baby seat when you book.
How many km and how many minutes is RZV to Rize city centre?
The distance from Rize-Artvin Airport (RZV) to Rize city centre is 35.1 km and the drive takes about 30 minutes in normal conditions. This time is an average for a traffic-free run on a dry road, using the Black Sea coastal highway (D010), which runs continuously along the shore from Samsun to Sarp.
In practice, summer weekends and the high season from June to September can slow the coastal road near Rize, so allow a little extra time on arrival days. Snow and ice can affect the plateau routes between December and March and add 20 to 40 minutes, but the city centre route stays on the coast; rain and fog are common in the Eastern Black Sea region throughout the year, including on the Uzungöl and Ayder plateaus.
What is included in the Rize airport transfer price?
The Rize airport transfer price starts at 62 EUR per vehicle for a private ride to the city centre, and it includes highway and toll fees, luggage and the driver's waiting time. The price is fixed per vehicle, not per person, and the 6-seat Mercedes Vito is the base class, so a group of up to six travellers pays one price.
You can pay online by card before the trip or in cash to the driver in EUR, USD, GBP or TL. Booking can be cancelled free of charge up to 24 hours before pick-up, a 20 percent night rate applies to pick-ups between 22:00 and 06:00, and a 5 percent discount is offered on round-trip bookings. Drivers speak English, and GET4S operates 24/7 as a TÜRSAB-licensed agency.
Rize city centre: tea gardens, castle and seaside hotels
Rize city centre is the tea capital of Türkiye, and most of it can be seen in a day: the Ziraat Botanical Tea Garden, Rize Castle and the seaside hotels are all in the centre. After a 35.1 km, 30 minute transfer from RZV, you are within walking distance of the promenade and the main hotel strip on the Black Sea coast.
For onward travel, note that there is no public transport from the airport to Ayder or Çamlıhemşin; only a minibus option with a change in Pazar district centre exists, while airport taxis run on the meter. A private transfer avoids those changes, and Trabzon Airport, reached by the same coastal road (D010), is an alternative arrival point for Rize.
