Frequently Asked Questions
How does Uber for Business work in Turkey?
In Turkey, Uber operates only in Istanbul, Ankara, and Izmir as a hailing service for licensed yellow and turquoise taxis. Due to legal regulations, private chauffeured car services (UberX, Uber Black) are not available in Turkey. Uber for Business corporate features are therefore limited in scope in Turkey.
What is the difference between Uber for Business and YolcuGo?
Uber for Business is a corporate tool that centrally manages employees' urban transportation. YolcuGo is a B2B platform focused on airport transfers for travel agencies, OTAs, and hotels. YolcuGo includes features such as fleet management, driver assignment, automated reconciliation, white-label site, and transfer management across 81 provinces.
Is the Uber for Business API sufficient for transfer management?
The Uber for Business API (Receipts API, Central API) is designed for corporate ride management and expense reporting — it is offered for Enterprise clients. It does not provide airport transfer-specific features (flight tracking, meet & greet management, supplier assignment, route-based pricing). YolcuGo's API is purpose-built for transfer operations.
Does it make sense to switch from Uber for Business to YolcuGo?
If you handle airport transfer operations, B2B agency management, or supplier fleet management, absolutely yes. Considering Uber's legal restrictions in Turkey (taxi only), YolcuGo offers a far more comprehensive solution with coverage across 81 provinces, KVKK compliance, route-based fixed pricing, and transfer-specific features.
