Factors Affecting Taxi Fares
Several factors contribute to taxi fares, and these likely played a role in determining prices back in 2017:
- Distance: The further the distance from the airport to your destination, the higher the fare. Istanbul is a sprawling city, so fares could have varied significantly depending on the specific location.
- Time of Day: Traffic congestion, particularly during peak hours, could have increased travel time and, consequently, the fare.
- Airport Surcharges: Airports often have designated taxi services, which may come with additional surcharges.
- Luggage: Carrying multiple or oversized luggage might have incurred an extra fee.
Estimating the 2017 Fare
While we can’t provide an exact figure for a 2017 taxi fare, it’s helpful to consider the following:
- Historical Exchange Rates: Research the Turkish Lira (TRY) to US Dollar (USD) or your currency exchange rate for 2017. This can give you a general idea of the relative value of the fare.
- Inflation: Inflation erodes purchasing power over time. Factor in inflation from 2017 to the present day to understand how prices have changed.

- Travel Blogs: Look for travel blogs that document trips to Istanbul around that time. They might mention transportation costs.
Important Note:
Keep in mind that these are just estimations. The actual taxi fare in 2017 may have varied based on the specific circumstances.
