The collection time is a separate agreement
Give the office the departure flight number, flight date, scheduled departure time and full Selimiye pickup address. The office calculates and confirms collection with your airport preparation time in mind. A 2–2.5-hour driving estimate over roughly 130–150 km does not include airline check-in, security, road disruption or the time needed to leave a yacht and reach the vehicle.
Hotel reception, villa gate or shore meeting point
Unless otherwise agreed, wait at the main hotel entrance or villa gate. For an accommodation above the bay, confirm the vehicle approach rather than walking down to a different waterfront pin. For a boat holiday, agree a fixed road-accessible land point with the office and captain. Share the pier name and contact, and allow enough time to disembark with every bag.
Early or late vehicle arrival
Operational timing can be up to 15 minutes early or 15 minutes late; we inform the customer. An early vehicle waits until the confirmed pickup time. Keep the lead passenger's phone reachable. If collection has not happened 30 minutes after that time, urgently contact the office. Do not quietly wait at another pier or assume a changed sailing plan has reached the driver.
If we cannot reach you
When the customer cannot be reached, or changes the pickup place without notifying us, the vehicle waits 30–60 minutes from the confirmed pickup time before leaving. Under our stated policy we accept no responsibility for the consequences of an unreported change or lack of contact. To avoid this, agree an entrance photo or clear landmark with the office where an address alone is ambiguous.
Changed flight or a later boat return
Contact the office as soon as the departure flight, hotel or boarding plan changes and mutually confirm a revised pickup. A short adjustment is often free when a vehicle is available; the office assesses availability and any extra fee. An airline update or message to the captain does not change the road transfer automatically. Never postpone collection based on an unconfirmed delay.
Review both the vehicle and fare
Confirm all passengers, luggage, access requirements and paid extras. The fare applies to the chosen private vehicle within its capacity. Arrival and departure are priced separately, and a return booking contains two legs. Online booking needs at least eight hours; contact the office through WhatsApp for a closer journey. Your request still needs confirmation.

Dalaman Airport return pickup
For Selimiye, hotel pickup for your transfer to the airport is calculated from the route’s recorded driving time plus 120 minutes for airport arrival and 30 minutes contingency, with the total rounded up to the next 15-minute multiple (exact multiples stay unchanged) and counted back from the scheduled flight departure; the office confirms the exact pickup time, and sets it directly if no driving time is recorded. The office confirms the exact time using your flight and collection address. Be ready at the confirmed entrance; flight, address or boat-plan changes require direct office contact and mutual confirmation.
