Trabzon Airport to Rize Transfer

On a GET4S Trabzon Airport Rize transfer, the driver waits at the arrivals hall exit holding a name sign, and the meeting point is directly in front of the terminal exit. Your driver tracks your flight, so if the flight is delayed the pick-up time shifts automatically at no extra charge, and 60 minutes of waiting after landing is free for airport pick-ups.

GET4S is a TÜRSAB licensed travel agency (document no 14225), and the drivers speak English. The service runs 24/7, online booking is available, and a child seat is free on request. The fixed price of 107 EUR applies per vehicle, not per person, and the base class is a 6-seat Mercedes Vito.

The distance from Trabzon Airport (TZX) to Rize city centre is 73.4 km by road, with an estimated driving time of 63 minutes. The route follows the Black Sea coastal road (D010), which runs uninterrupted along the coast from Samsun to Sarp, and all transfers from the airport to coastal cities use this road.

The 63 minute estimate is an average for traffic-free driving on a dry road. In the high season, June to September, the route can be busier, and the plateaus (Uzungöl, Ayder) receive rain in every month of the year, where fog and rain are common. Between December and March there can be snow on plateau roads, and you should add 20 to 40 minutes to the driving time.

The starting price of 107 EUR per vehicle includes highway and toll fees, luggage, and the driver's waiting time, and the price is charged per vehicle, not per person. The base class vehicle is a 6-seat Mercedes Vito, and a child seat is free on request. Payment can be made online by card in advance or in cash to the driver in EUR, USD, GBP or TL.

Bookings can be cancelled free of charge up to 24 hours before the transfer. A 20% night rate applies to pick-ups between 22:00 and 06:00, and a 5% discount applies to round-trip bookings. The driver tracks your flight, so a delayed flight moves the pick-up time automatically at no extra charge.

Rize is the tea capital of Türkiye, and the Ziraat Botanical Tea Garden, Rize Castle and the hotels along the coast are all in the city centre. The drive from Trabzon Airport (TZX) follows the coastal road (D010), and Rize-Artvin Airport lies 34 km to the east. Trabzon Airport itself is 6 km east of Trabzon city centre, on the coast and on the coastal road (D010); it is the busiest airport in the Eastern Black Sea region and receives flights from both Istanbul airports, from Ankara and from the Gulf countries.

As an alternative to a private transfer, municipal buses and minibuses run to the city centre, and airport taxis operate on the meter. For Uzungöl, Ayder and Sümela there is no direct public transport from the airport: you first go to the centre and then transfer to a district minibus, which takes 3 to 4 hours in total. A private Trabzon Airport Rize transfer avoids those transfers and takes about 63 minutes.
