Airport Transfers in Istanbul, priced up front

Istanbul is served by two large airports on opposite sides of the Bosphorus, and the difference between them matters more than most visitors expect. Istanbul Airport (IST) lies on the European Black Sea side, while Sabiha Gökçen (SAW) sits on the Asian side. We confirm which you arrive at, follow the flight, meet you after customs with a name board and drive you to your hotel or office at a price fixed beforehand.

  • Istanbul (IST)
  • Sabiha Gökçen (SAW)

Istanbul spans two continents and crossing the Bosphorus at peak can add an hour; we choose between the three bridges and the Eurasia Tunnel by live conditions.

Istanbul Airport and the road south

IST is a vast terminal complex about forty kilometres northwest of the centre, and walking from the aircraft to the exit takes a good deal of time. Your chauffeur waits in arrivals and does not rush you. The drive to Beşiktaş or Taksim usually takes about an hour on the northern motorway, longer in the evening peak and on holiday weekends when the whole city seems to be in transit.

Sabiha Gökçen on the Asian shore

SAW lies about 35 kilometres southeast of the centre. It handles many European low-cost flights and is the convenient choice if you are staying in Kadıköy, Bostancı, or at the Istanbul Financial Center in Ataşehir. For hotels on the European side the facts are less friendly: crossing the Bosphorus can bring the total journey to around an hour and a half. We quote the reality, not the optimistic figure.

Meeting and baggage

Whichever airport you use, the chauffeur tracks your flight number and adjusts the pickup if you land early or late. Passport control at IST can be slow at peak times, so the waiting time is built into the fixed fare. Luggage goes into the SUV boot, and the chauffeur walks with you to the car, which waits close to the building. We send the contact details of the driver before you board.

Departures and early flights

Leaving Istanbul needs early planning. We recommend a long margin for the drive to IST, as the road can slow at the Bosphorus-side junctions and a security check adds time at the terminal. For a morning departure, we confirm the pickup the evening before. Guests in Sultanahmet or Cihangir should tell us the hotel, since we may agree a meeting point away from the narrow lanes.

FAQ

Airport Transfers in Istanbul — questions

How far is Istanbul Airport from the city centre?

About forty kilometres northwest. The drive to Beşiktaş or Taksim usually takes about an hour, and longer at rush hours and holiday weekends.

Which airport is better for the Asian side of Istanbul?

Sabiha Gökçen (SAW) is usually the closer option for Kadıköy, Bostancı and Ataşehir. We confirm your arrival airport and plan the route accordingly.

What happens if my flight to Istanbul is delayed?

We track the flight and adjust the pickup. Waiting time is included in the fixed price, so a late arrival never changes the amount.

Where will my chauffeur meet me?

In the arrivals hall after customs, with a name board. You receive the driver's contact details before you travel in case you need to reach them.

Can you transfer me between IST and SAW?

Yes. The journey crosses the Bosphorus and takes around an hour and a half or more, depending on traffic. It is priced as a single fixed transfer.
