In Bodrum, the Yandex price may not always be final: one report says rides are charged by the meter, with a 150 TRY starting fare. For example, Yandex showed 1,500 TRY from La Blanche Island to Midtown, while the driver displayed 1,900 TRY.

In the Kefalyuka area, no Yandex drivers accepted requests for a whole day until the payment method was changed to cash in the app; cars then became available. If card-paid requests get no response, try selecting cash.

When booking through Yandex Maps, travelers were quoted 245 TRY in the app even though the taxi meter showed about 600 TRY; they paid the app price.

A ride from a hotel in central Bodrum to Yahşi cost 540 TRY at the Yandex price while the meter showed roughly 900 TRY. Keep a backup payment option: a Visa card reportedly failed to charge and left an outstanding balance, and some areas may have no available cars or long waits.
