Tarsus University Transfer
Tarsus University private transfer to the Takbaş campus for students, parents and academic guests, with vans that fit dorm luggage and boxes.
Transfer to Tarsus University
Tarsus University transfer requests follow the academic calendar: enrolment week in autumn, exams at the end of each term, and in between a steady flow of thesis juries, conferences and visiting lecturers. The state university's main campus is in the Takbaş neighbourhood of Tarsus, Mersin. This page explains how to reach it, who travels here and where our private transfers go from the campus.
The Takbaş Campus and Who Visits It
The university has faculties in engineering, health sciences, economics and administrative sciences, humanities and social sciences, and a Faculty of Aeronautics and Astronautics, a fitting subject for a school in the same district as the airport. The campus sits within the town. So planning the trip is less about finding the campus and more about which building and which gate you need.
Visitors vary a lot. A professor arriving for a PhD defence. A family settling their daughter into a dormitory. A foreign researcher presenting at a symposium. A candidate for a job interview. Each has a different schedule and very different luggage.
Moving In: Suitcases, Boxes and Parents
Late September and early October is when new students arrive. A year's worth of belongings, several suitcases, perhaps a box with a small fridge. Parents usually come too. A sedan is often not enough.
- One student, two suitcases: Business Sedan or Premium Sedan
- Student plus parents and dorm supplies: VIP Vito
- Several families from the same city travelling together: eight-seat Mercedes Vito
- Student society or school trip: Mercedes Sprinter
We price per vehicle, not per passenger. Two families on the same flight who share a car each pay less.
A Smooth Day for Academic Guests
For examiners and speakers, time is the scarce resource. Fly in on a morning flight, sit on a jury in the afternoon, fly home in the evening: a very common pattern. Department offices often book these trips on behalf of the guest.
Whoever books, put the faculty name and a contact phone number in the notes. If plans change, a request can be sent through the My Reservation page. For an international guest, the name sign at arrivals is the simplest way to find each other in the crowd.
From Campus to the Wider Region
From the campus we drive most often to the airport, to hotels in Mersin and to central Adana. Student groups also head to the coast at weekends, towards Kizkalesi or Silifke. Guests staying in Tarsus can easily fit in the old town, St. Paul's Well or Tarsus Waterfall.
For the short ride from the airport and tips on timing around juries and conferences, see our page on the transfer from Çukurova Airport to Tarsus University. To book, choose Tarsus University in the form, enter your date and compare prices by vehicle class.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where is the Tarsus University campus?
The main campus is in the Takbaş neighbourhood of Tarsus, in Mersin province. After choosing Tarsus University in the booking form, write the faculty or building you are going to in the notes so the driver can drop you at the right entrance. Students heading to a dormitory should add its name too.
Can a department office book for a visiting professor?
Yes. Book in the guest's name and add their phone number, the faculty and the host's contact details in the notes. The driver waits at arrivals with a sign showing the guest's name. If the programme changes, send a change request through the My Reservation page.
Which vehicle suits a student moving into a dorm?
A sedan is enough for one student with two suitcases. If parents are coming and there are boxes, a VIP Vito is the better choice. Several families on the same flight can share the eight-seat Mercedes Vito. Writing the number of boxes in the notes helps you check the vehicle fits.
Do you drive from the campus to Mersin or Adana?
Yes. We run door-to-door transfers from the campus to hotels in Mersin, central Adana, the beach towns and the airport. Use the "Add return" option in the booking form to keep both directions in one reservation. Prices for every vehicle class are shown in the form.
