Confirm current public transport fares with the operator. Current transfer prices, availability and terms are shown in the live booking flow. ## Main Guide ### Quick answer Samsun-Carsamba Airport (SZF) is about 25 km from the city centre, according to the state airport operator (DHMI). The operator lists the ways to reach it: Samair and an airport shuttle service, commercial taxis, rental cars and private cars. Samair is the municipal airport bus, run by a company of Samsun Metropolitan Municipality, with four lines that connect the airport to Atakum, the bus station area, Bafra and Terme. For most visitors the choice is between Samair, a taxi and a pre-booked transfer. If your hotel is on a Samair route and your flight time matches a run, the bus is a sensible low-cost choice. If it is not, a taxi or a pre-booked transfer is simpler. ### What actually happens after landing After landing you collect your bags and come out to decide your ride. We found no official statement of immigration or customs arrangements, so we do not describe them here. For current terminal services, check the airport operator's pages. Before you leave the terminal, decide which option you are taking. Samair timetables are built around flight times, so open the Samair site or app to see the next departure. If you booked a transfer, the meeting point is in your booking confirmation. ### Transport options explained honestly **Samair (municipal airport bus):** Samair has run since 1 June 2024, operated by SAMULAS, a company of Samsun Metropolitan Municipality. It has four lines: H1 from Atakum (the university rectorate) to the airport; H2 from the bus station and the transfer centre on 100. Yil Boulevard to the airport; H3 from Yakakent, Alacam and Bafra through Atakum and Ataturk Boulevard to the airport; H4 from Terme and Carsamba to the airport. Departure times follow flight times and are published on the Samair site and in the SAMULAS app. Reservations can be made through the municipal helpline, ALO 153, up to 2 hours before departure, and payment is by SAMKART or credit card. Fares are shown stop by stop on the line pages. **Airport shuttle service:** The airport operator also lists a passenger shuttle service. Its operator and timetable are on the operator's own information page; check it before relying on it. **Taxis:** The operator lists commercial taxis, and refers to an airport taxi cooperative. We found no official fare table, so before you set off ask whether the fare is metered or fixed and what the total will be. **Rental cars:** Rental cars are listed among the ways to reach the airport. Check the desk's hours against your arrival time. **Pre-booked private transfer:** A pre-booked transfer is a fixed price shown on this page for your route and confirmed at booking. If meet-and-greet is included in your booking, the confirmation says where the driver meets you. It helps most for destinations away from the Samair lines, such as Canik or Tekkekoy, or for a late arrival. **Ride-hailing:** Availability of ride-hailing apps varies by city and time. Do not make them your only plan. ### Realistic pricing expectations Official taxi fares were not found, so we do not quote any. Compare the options on the same questions. - **Samair:** fares are published stop by stop on the line pages at samair.samsun.bel.tr; check the page for your stop before you travel. - **Taxi:** ask for the total before the car moves, and whether bags or the time of day change it. - **Rental car:** the rental desk sets the price; add fuel and parking. - **Pre-booked transfer:** the price is shown live on this page for your route and confirmed at booking. Our route database gives approximate road figures from the airport: Ilkadim about 19 km and 28 minutes, Atakum about 25 km and 38 minutes, Canik about 17 km and 26 minutes, Carsamba about 16 km and 24 minutes, Tekkekoy about 9 km and 15 minutes, Bafra about 64 km and 96 minutes. These are estimates, not live figures. ### Late night arrivals Samair timetables follow flight times and we could not confirm that a run is timed to every late flight. Check the next departure on the Samair site or app for your flight, and remember that reservations through ALO 153 close 2 hours before departure. We found no official statement on how many taxis wait late in the evening or at night. If you land late, the simplest step is to arrange the ride in advance. A pre-booked transfer is confirmed before you travel; give your flight number when you book and check the confirmation for the meeting point and how delays are handled. Our late-night page goes through this in more detail. ### Families and luggage With children, strollers and several bags, the number of vehicle changes matters. A single taxi or a pre-booked transfer to your address is usually easier than a bus with a walk at the end, though Samair may suit you if your hotel is close to one of its stops. We found no official statement on child seats in taxis or on Samair buses. If you need a child seat, request it when you pre-book a transfer, giving the child's age and weight, and ask any taxi operator in advance rather than assuming one is available. ### Where you meet the driver For a pre-booked transfer, the meeting point is written in your booking confirmation; follow it exactly. If meet-and-greet is included in your booking, the confirmation says where the driver meets you. For Samair, check the line page for the stop and departure details. For a taxi, look for the taxis serving the airport outside the terminal and avoid anyone who offers a ride inside the building. If you are unsure where to go, ask an airline desk or airport staff. ### Decision helper **Take Samair if:** your destination is on one of its lines, a run matches your flight, you are travelling light, and you have checked the fare for your stop. **Take a taxi if:** you want to go door to door, no run matches, and you agree the fare first. **Book a private transfer if:** you want the price and pickup arranged before you fly, you are heading to Canik, Tekkekoy or beyond the Samair lines, you have children or heavy luggage, or you arrive late. **If your flight is delayed:** check the Samair site for the next departure, tell whoever is meeting you, and keep a second option ready. ## Summary Samsun-Carsamba Airport has a municipal bus, taxis and pre-booked transfers.

This page sets out what is published and what we could not confirm. ## How Samair timetables work Samair is the municipal airport bus, operated by SAMULAS, a company of Samsun Metropolitan Municipality. Its departure times follow flight times, and the next seven days of departures are published on the line pages at samair.samsun.bel.tr and in the SAMULAS app. That is helpful: you can look up the run for your own flight. But we could not confirm that a run is timed to every late arrival, so check the page for your flight date. ## Reservations close 2 hours before The municipal helpline, ALO 153, takes Samair reservations 24 hours a day, up to 2 hours before departure. If your flight is delayed, a reservation made for a different time may no longer fit, so keep the line page open on your phone. ## Taxis at night The airport operator lists commercial taxis and refers to an airport taxi cooperative. We found no official statement about how many taxis wait late in the evening or at night, so we cannot promise availability. If you take a taxi, agree whether the fare is metered or fixed, and the total, before you set off. Our route estimates put Ilkadim at about 19 km and 28 minutes and Atakum at about 25 km and 38 minutes, so this is a ride of some length. ## Arranging the ride in advance For a late landing, the most reliable step is to remove the question. A pre-booked transfer is a fixed price shown live on this page and confirmed at booking. Give your flight number when you book, and check the booking confirmation for the meeting point and how delays are handled. If meet-and-greet is included in your booking, the confirmation says where the driver meets you. ## Before you leave the terminal - Have the address of your accommodation written down, in Turkish if you can. - Keep your booking confirmation or contact details where you can open them without data. - If your plans change, tell whoever is meeting you before you leave the terminal. ## The bottom line Samair publishes timetables by flight time, but we could not confirm a run for every late flight, and we found no night taxi information. For a late arrival, check the Samair page for your flight or plan on a pre-booked transfer. ## Sources (checked 2026-10-27) - Distance to the city centre (25 km) and ground transport listed by the state airport operator (Samair and an airport shuttle service, commercial taxis, rent a car, private cars): https://dhmi.gov.tr/Sayfalar/Havalimani/Carsamba/Ulasim.aspx - Samair airport bus: operator (municipal company of Samsun Metropolitan Municipality), start date 1 June 2024, four lines H1-H4 and their routes, timetable by flight time, online and app information, ALO 153 reservations up to 2 hours before departure, payment by SAMKART or credit card (news item dated 30 September 2025): https://samulas.com.tr/haber-detay/samair-i-le-hizli-ve-guvenli-ulasim-hi-zmeti - Samair line pages and timetables (stop-based fares and the next seven days of departures are published per line): https://samair.samsun.bel.tr/ - Approximate distances and driving times to the areas listed (route estimates, not measured live): AirportTransferPortal route database, checked 2026-10-27 ## Taxi vs transfer at Samsun Carsamba Airport **URL:** https://www.airporttransferportal.com/airport-guides/szf/taxi-vs-transfer At Samsun-Carsamba Airport you can take the Samair bus, a taxi, rent a car, or pre-book a transfer. The state airport operator lists Samair and an airport shuttle service, commercial taxis, rental cars and private cars. This page compares the taxi and the transfer. ## The airport taxi The airport is about 25 km from the city centre, according to the operator, and our route estimates are about 19 km and 28 minutes to Ilkadim and about 25 km and 38 minutes to Atakum. We found no official fare table, so there is no published price to quote. Before you set off, ask whether the fare is metered or fixed, and what the total will be for your address. Have the address ready in writing, in Turkish if you can. A taxi suits you when no Samair run matches your flight, you want to go straight to your door, and you are comfortable agreeing the fare yourself. ## The pre-booked transfer The price is shown live on this page for your route and confirmed at booking, so you know the amount before you fly. You can ask for a child seat or a larger vehicle when you book, and the booking confirmation tells you where to meet. If meet-and-greet is included in your booking, the confirmation says where the driver meets you. A transfer suits you when your destination is away from the Samair lines, for example Canik or Tekkekoy, when the run is long, such as Bafra (about 64 km, roughly 96 minutes in our route estimates), when you arrive late, when you travel with children or heavy luggage, or when you want the arrangements settled in advance. ## Samair as a third option Samair is the municipal airport bus, with four lines to Atakum, the bus station area, Bafra and Terme. Departure times follow flight times and are published on samair.samsun.bel.tr, where fares are shown stop by stop. Reservations through ALO 153 are taken up to 2 hours before departure. It can suit a light traveller whose hotel is near one of the stops. ## What to compare - **Certainty of price:** a pre-booked transfer is fixed at booking; a taxi fare is agreed on the spot; Samair fares are published by stop. - **Certainty of pickup:** a booked transfer is arranged before you fly; a taxi depends on what is waiting when you land. - **Flexibility:** a taxi lets you decide on arrival; a transfer asks you to decide in advance. - **Extras:** child seats and larger vehicles are requested at booking for a transfer. ## A simple way to decide Ask three questions. How far is your destination? How many people and bags are travelling? What time does your flight land? If the answers are a stop on a Samair line, light bags and a run that matches your flight, the bus will do. If any answer points the other way, a taxi or a confirmed transfer removes the guesswork. ## Sources (checked 2026-10-27) - Distance to the city centre (25 km) and ground transport listed by the state airport operator (Samair and an airport shuttle service, commercial taxis, rent a car, private cars): https://dhmi.gov.tr/Sayfalar/Havalimani/Carsamba/Ulasim.aspx - Samair airport bus: operator (municipal company of Samsun Metropolitan Municipality), start date 1 June 2024, four lines H1-H4 and their routes, timetable by flight time, online and app information, ALO 153 reservations up to 2 hours before departure, payment by SAMKART or credit card (news item dated 30 September 2025): https://samulas.com.tr/haber-detay/samair-i-le-hizli-ve-guvenli-ulasim-hi-zmeti - Samair line pages and timetables (stop-based fares and the next seven days of departures are published per line): https://samair.samsun.bel.tr/ - Approximate distances and driving times to the areas listed (route estimates, not measured live): AirportTransferPortal route database, checked 2026-10-27 ## Samsun Carsamba Airport with Children and Family **URL:** https://www.airporttransferportal.com/airport-guides/szf/family-and-kids Samsun-Carsamba Airport is about 25 km from the city centre, according to the state airport operator, so the last leg is a real ride rather than a short hop. With children, a plan made before you fly makes the arrival easier. ## Airport facilities We found no official page listing baby care rooms, trolleys or lifts for this airport, so we do not describe them. If you need a particular facility, ask the airport operator or your airline before you travel. ## Keeping the last leg simple The fewer changes of vehicle, the easier the arrival. Samair, the municipal bus, has four lines and may suit you if your hotel is near a stop and a run matches your flight, but it means carrying children and bags to and from stops. A taxi or a pre-booked transfer to your address avoids that. **Samair:** timetables follow flight times and are published at samair.samsun.bel.tr; fares are shown stop by stop. Reservations through ALO 153 are taken up to 2 hours before departure. **Taxi:** goes to your address. We found no official fare table, so agree whether the fare is metered or fixed and the total before you set off. **Pre-booked transfer:** the price is shown live on this page and confirmed at booking. Request a larger vehicle if you have a stroller and several bags. If meet-and-greet is included in your booking, the confirmation says where the driver meets you. ## Child seats We found no official statement on the legal requirements or on child seats in taxis or on Samair buses, so we cannot tell you what they provide. If you need a child seat, request it when you pre-book a transfer and give the child's age and weight. For a taxi, ask the operator in advance and be ready for the answer to be no. ## Practical tips - Keep one bag with water, snacks, a change of clothes and any medicine within reach, not in the hold. - Write the accommodation address, in Turkish if you can, so a driver can read it. - Allow time at the baggage belt before you think about the ride; children tire quickly. - For Bafra (about 64 km, roughly 96 minutes in our route estimates) or other long runs, plan a long arrival day and book in advance. ## Late arrivals with children We could not confirm a Samair run for every late flight, and found no night taxi information. For an evening landing with children, arrange a transfer or confirm your plan before you fly. ## The bottom line With a 25 km ride ahead, the aim is simplicity: one vehicle, one address, and any child seat arranged in advance. ## Sources (checked 2026-10-27) - Distance to the city centre (25 km) and ground transport listed by the state airport operator (Samair and an airport shuttle service, commercial taxis, rent a car, private cars): https://dhmi.gov.tr/Sayfalar/Havalimani/Carsamba/Ulasim.aspx - Samair airport bus: operator (municipal company of Samsun Metropolitan Municipality), start date 1 June 2024, four lines H1-H4 and their routes, timetable by flight time, online and app information, ALO 153 reservations up to 2 hours before departure, payment by SAMKART or credit card (news item dated 30 September 2025): https://samulas.com.tr/haber-detay/samair-i-le-hizli-ve-guvenli-ulasim-hi-zmeti - Samair line pages and timetables (stop-based fares and the next seven days of departures are published per line): https://samair.samsun.bel.tr/ - Approximate distances and driving times to the areas listed (route estimates, not measured live): AirportTransferPortal route database, checked 2026-10-27 ## Cost and distance from Samsun Carsamba Airport to the city **URL:** https://www.airporttransferportal.com/airport-guides/szf/cost-to-city This page gives distances and tells you where to find current fares for Samsun-Carsamba Airport (SZF). We found no official taxi fare table for this airport, so we do not quote taxi prices, and Samair fares are published by the operator stop by stop. ## How far is the city? The state airport operator lists the distance to the city centre as 25 km. Our route database, which gives estimates and not live figures, has these approximate road figures from the airport: - **Tekkekoy:** about 9 km, roughly 15 minutes. - **Carsamba:** about 16 km, roughly 24 minutes. - **Canik:** about 17 km, roughly 26 minutes. - **Ilkadim:** about 19 km, roughly 28 minutes. - **Samsun city centre:** about 19 km, roughly 28 minutes. - **Atakum:** about 25 km, roughly 38 minutes. - **Bafra:** about 64 km, roughly 96 minutes. The operator's 25 km figure and our estimate for the city centre differ, so treat all distances as approximate. Traffic and the exact address change the real time. ## What each option costs **Samair:** the municipal airport bus publishes fares stop by stop on its line pages at samair.samsun.bel.tr, together with the next seven days of departures. Open the page for your line, tap your stop and read the fare. Payment is by SAMKART or credit card. Reservations through ALO 153 are taken up to 2 hours before departure. **Taxi:** no official fare table was found. Ask whether the fare is metered or fixed and agree the total before you set off. **Rental car:** the rental desk sets the price. Add fuel, and ask about parking at your accommodation. **Pre-booked transfer:** the price is shown live on this page for your route and confirmed at booking, so the amount is known before you travel. ## Questions that change the total - Is the fare metered or fixed? - Does it cover all your bags and passengers? - Is there an extra charge for luggage, night-time or a destination outside the city? - Is the price for the whole vehicle or per person? ## Planning your budget Samair fares are published, so the bus is the one option where you can read the price in advance. For the others, decide how much certainty you want. A taxi fare agreed on the spot keeps flexibility but carries the risk of a surprise. If you want to know the figure before you leave home, book a transfer and read the amount shown on this page. Keep a small amount of cash and a card with you; we found no official statement on which payment methods taxis accept. ## The bottom line For a stop on a Samair line, read the published stop fare. For anything else, get a confirmed price before you fly or agree the taxi fare before you move. ## Sources (checked 2026-10-27) - Distance to the city centre (25 km) and ground transport listed by the state airport operator (Samair and an airport shuttle service, commercial taxis, rent a car, private cars): https://dhmi.gov.tr/Sayfalar/Havalimani/Carsamba/Ulasim.aspx - Samair airport bus: operator (municipal company of Samsun Metropolitan Municipality), start date 1 June 2024, four lines H1-H4 and their routes, timetable by flight time, online and app information, ALO 153 reservations up to 2 hours before departure, payment by SAMKART or credit card (news item dated 30 September 2025): https://samulas.com.tr/haber-detay/samair-i-le-hizli-ve-guvenli-ulasim-hi-zmeti - Samair line pages and timetables (stop-based fares and the next seven days of departures are published per line): https://samair.samsun.bel.tr/ - Approximate distances and driving times to the areas listed (route estimates, not measured live): AirportTransferPortal route database, checked 2026-10-27 ## Published Guide Pages - https://www.airporttransferportal.com/airport-guides/szf - https://www.airporttransferportal.com/airport-guides/szf/late-night - https://www.airporttransferportal.com/airport-guides/szf/taxi-vs-transfer - https://www.airporttransferportal.com/airport-guides/szf/family-and-kids - https://www.airporttransferportal.com/airport-guides/szf/cost-to-city ## Booking and Support Search: https://www.airporttransferportal.com/search?airport=SZF Airport Transfer Portal is a marketplace; local operators fulfil the transfer.
