Dalaman (Turkey) Transfers

If anyone is going to Olu Deniz this year & wants to avoid that hideous coach transfer I can highly recommend these guys: www.dalamantransfers.com/. They're very professional & only a fraction of the price of booking a taxi transfer through the travel agent or tour operator.
If you're going this year for the 1st time be warned:
1. It's a trek from the airport to the coach park.
2. Queue's are very long & slow.
3. The coach ride takes minimum 2 hours & on 2 holidays our coach broke down.
Hence last time we opted for a private, local transfer:
1 Booked on-line, no deposit required.
2. Man at airport exit holding card with our name.
3. Man made a call to driver to say we'd arrved.
4. Brand new mini-bus came to pick up point directly outside airport to collect us & a stress free, comfortable, 1 hour journey commenced.
5. Paid £90 sterling on arrval at hotel (£45 each way) & driver took details from air tickets for retun transfer.
6. 2 days before deprture we received a phone call at the hotel confirming time of pick up.
7. Picked up exactly as arranged & reached the airport before the coaches so no queue at check in!
2 very happy adults & 2 non-miserable children. I will never again do a Turkish coach transfer.
