Can I use Yandex Taxi in Bodrum and pay with a foreign bank card?

TL;DR
Yandex Taxi can be ordered in Bodrum through Yandex Maps, and the app fare may be much lower than the taxi meter. A foreign card may fail to charge, so carry Turkish lira cash or have a backup payment method.

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.
