Thomas Cook - Transfers

[Reygirl]

They have a list of hotels where they will drop off and pick up they don''t go to individual addresses.

I used Transfers4U. Good vale. But they won''t take open-ended or reverse transfers. On the other hand, if your flight is at a reasonable time you can get bus to Fethiye 10TL, bus to Dlaman 7TL and a taxi to the airport 25TL.

fantastic to hear these reports - we are travelling with TFU tommorrow (well, today!) and it is absolutely right that we should have access to more sensible prices.  Taxi drivers and transfer "agents" are have been having a laugh for too long and I am so pleased this options is available now.  We managed to keep our transfer price at £45 one way for up to three people up until last year and then I was emailed a couple of months ago telling me "due to the fluctuating exchange rate" the price had now gone up to £60 one way.  Absolutely ridiculous and as a result, 12 of my bookings have cancelled their transfers and gone for TFU.  This loss equates to a loss of £1,440 for this particular agent, just from my bookings! just out of pure greed.  I can''t understand people who are put off by a little delay of say half hour or so by using these new transfers.  We have saved £60 and it really is not about the money for me, I just don''t like being skanked!  Anyway, after my transfers last year with this particular well know agent, my husband had to ring and complain on our outward and inbound journeys.  We have a young daughter and the speed at which those idiots were driving was absolutely terrifying.  In fact, when the driver turned up to collect us, when I opened the door he said "hi babe, my name is handsome and I am here to take you to your plane" - when my daughter and husband appeared he looked a bit stupid!!  I have had lots of complaints about the transfers last year and personally am relieved we now have this option and hopefully, things will be ok.  Moan over!

Thinking of using transfers4u next week. Can anyone tell me if the transfer vehicles are air conditioned? Arriving early morning in Dalaman and don''''t fancy travelling in a sweat box to Kalkan.

[Reygirl]

I used them last week for return transfers - they were excellent.  The vehicles were air-conditioned and the service faultless.  Went in a mini-bus as far as Fethiye and then transferred to a very smart car for the remainder of the journey which I shared with a couple going to Kas.  I was picked up promptly for the return journey - travelled in a very comfortable car (just me as far as Fethiye) then a 15-minute wait at their office before joining a couple of others in the car that had picked them up in Olu Deniz for the transfer between Fethiye and the airport.  £34 return.  I wouldn''t hesitate to recommend them especially for someone travelling on their own.

I have been quoted £70.60 with transfers4u for 2 people return.

[BearsdenTony]

Many thanks. Guess it''s transfers4u then!

Does anyone know if T4U does single one way transfers from Dalaman to Kalkan? The prices quoted always seem to be for return journies and doesn''t appear to allow a one way booking.

[Reygirl]

I enquired once about a one-way booking and they asked me to contact them a few days before the date and they''d then give me a price but I didn''t want to leave it that close so arranged to share a transfer instead.  However, someone recently told me that they''d used A2B transfers for a single journey from Kalkan to Dalaman.

We have had mixed experiences with transfers4u.

Out of season , generally very good and efficient. In May my OH had to wait 2 1/2 hours at Dalaman for people coming in on other flights before they set off and the journey to Kalkan took 2 hours. I had to wait 1 1/2 hours when I came into Dalaman. Going back, due to other pick-ups, we had to leave Kalkan 5 1/2 hours before the flight departure time (normally have to leave about 4 hours before).

However for 1-2 persons, transfers4u are much cheaper !!!

i don''t think i could be doing with faffing about!1 think i will still use private transfer..yes it''s more(2 of us)but it''s door to door and no hanging around in the heat (or night after landing) ...might go the way of hire car and driver ...sounds interesting

Just taken a holidays4U transfer in July.  Was seriously expecting some delay at Dalaman but no it was just Fab !!

I arrived @ 2am & Had air-con car all to myself from Dalaman to Kalkan.

Returning after my stay I left Kalkan @ 22.45 for a 03.10 flight.  Private car to Fethiye then transferred onto 16 seater minibus for onwards journey to Dalaman.

Paid £35.50 & won't be worrying about using again in high season : )

have now managed to save the price of another air ticket over my last 3 trips this year ... whoo hoo back in October!!
