When booking an airport transfer with a baby or small children, the most important step is to state the children's ages and seat needs in your booking: at Egem VIP Transfer a baby seat is provided free of charge on request, and the vehicle is chosen to fit the family's luggage. Because flights are tracked, the driver waits for you at the arrivals exit with a sign bearing your name, even if the flight is delayed.
How Do You Request a Baby Seat?
A baby seat is requested on the booking form by entering the number and ages of the children; there is no extra charge. Babies need a rear-facing infant carrier, while older children need a child seat or a booster.
To make sure the right seat is ready, include:
- Each child's age and approximate weight.
- How many seats and boosters you need.
- If you are bringing your own seat, say so; the driver will help fit it.
Is the Vehicle Big Enough for a Family and Luggage?
The Mercedes Vito vehicles in Egem VIP Transfer's fleet carry 9 passengers and 5 pieces of luggage, with air conditioning, leather seats, USB charging and free water. For most families this space is enough for a pushchair, a nappy bag and large suitcases.
If you have a pram, a travel cot or more than 5 large suitcases, mention it when booking. If there is a lot of luggage, a second vehicle or a better layout is planned, so there is no surprise of bags not fitting at the airport.
What Happens If the Flight Is Delayed?
Your flight is tracked in real time; if it is delayed, the driver arrives for the new landing time and no extra charge is made for waiting. For travellers with babies this matters: even with a long wait at the baggage belt or a passport queue, you do not need to hurry.
The price is fixed at booking and is per vehicle; it does not change with the number of passengers. For a large family this lowers the cost per person.
How Do You Meet the Driver at the Airport?
At Izmir Adnan Menderes Airport the driver waits at the arrivals exit with a sign bearing your name. For families with babies, a few steps make the meeting easier:
- After collecting your luggage, walk straight to the arrivals exit; the driver meets you there.
- If the pushchair travelled in the hold, check the oversized baggage area next to the belt.
- The driver carries the luggage to the vehicle and sets up the child seats before you get in.
This way, after a tiring flight you do not have to search for a car in the crowd or queue for a taxi.
Can You Take Breaks with Children on a Long Drive?
Yes. On drives of more than 3 hours, such as to Bodrum, Marmaris or Fethiye, short breaks can be taken as the children need. Simply tell the driver on the way.
For children on a long drive, keep these to hand:
- Water, snacks and a change of clothes; free water is provided in the vehicle.
- A charging cable for a phone or tablet; the vehicle has USB charging.
- For children prone to car sickness, a seat near the front and frequent breaks.
Which Holiday Areas Are Easier for Families with Children?
Areas close to the airport with shallow seas make both the journey and the holiday easier for families with small children:
- Çeşme and Ilıca: about 1–1.5 hours, a long, shallow beach.
- Kuşadası: about 1–1.5 hours, family hotels.
- Didim: 1.5–2 hours, the shallow Altınkum beach.

Villa or Hotel: Is There a Transfer Difference for Families?
A hotel's address is clear; at a villa, arrival can take longer if the location pin and entrance details are not shared. We covered the details for large families in our villa or hotel guide.
