When you cross the border by car expect to be checked 6 times, which costs you a lot of time especially in summer season. Waiting time between 2-8 hours can be seen as normal at this border checkpoint.
==Money==There is an ATM on the Turkish side. It only gives out Turkish Lira (in [[Istanbul]] there are a couple of ATMs that give out EUR and USD).You can change money on both sides, but the Turkish side seems slightly more reliable, and if you want to change Turkish money into euro you should probably walk back to Halkbank at the Turkish entry side (500m from the huge building). == Experiences ===[[User:Guaka|Guaka]] had a terrible experience at the [[Kapitan Andreevo]] - Kapıkule [[border crossing]] in October 2008 when he was refused entry by a grumpy border guard who was probably looking for ''baksheesh''. It took a lot of convincing to be allowed back to the truck to get back his backpack. The next day there was no problem to get in. It seems personnel is much friendlier in 2010, some people even speaking English.
[[User:Platschi|Platschi]] traveled along this checkpoint four times, summer 2007 and 2008. Both times he had no problems with border guards or anything else.
