Common Kayseri taxi trips

Trip	Distance	Est. fare

Kayseri is also a back-door route into Cappadocia. ASR has more flights than the closer Nevşehir airport and sits roughly 75 km from Göreme, so a fair number of visitors fly here and carry on to the cave towns by taxi or transfer. For that longer leg a fixed-price transfer is usually cheaper and easier than a metered taxi. Use the estimator above to ballpark either trip.

Avoid the common taxi scams

For the run to Cappadocia (Göreme, Ürgüp), agree a flat price before you set off or book a transfer. It is a long trip and worth pinning the cost down.
In town, just check the meter is on. Short central trips are cheap, so there is little to game.
Pay by card or app where you can, and keep cash as a backup for the airport run.

Before you fly

Have data the moment you land

A Turkey eSIM installed before departure connects as soon as the plane doors open, so you can message your driver, open the meter estimate or ring the hotel without hunting for airport Wi-Fi. Airalo's Turkey plans run on the Turk Telekom network, from 3 to 30 days with unlimited-data options; it is data only and needs an unlocked, eSIM-capable phone, so check compatibility before you buy.
