Transportation from Istanbul (IST) to Inter. Cont. and currency exchange

The Hotel wants $75US for car service from
IST to the Hotel. I have seen mention of
about $10US from IST to Hotel for taxi on
their website. Is this $75 reasonable or
am I safe to go with taxi? I don't mind
spending money but this premium is way out of
the norm. Is currency exchange recommended
at airport for a small amount of conversion?
Is it easy to obtain a VISA upon arrival for
$45US for American citizens? Thanks.
