About this transfer
Landing on the European side and booking an Istanbul Airport (IST) to Ataşehir transfer takes you right across the city to the Asian side. We meet you outside the arrivals hall with a name board and take care of your luggage before setting off on the O-2. The drive covers 63 km directly to your destination.
Reaching this district by public transit means boarding the M11 subway at the terminal and switching twice to city buses. That journey takes 97 minutes and leaves you with luggage to carry through multiple interchanges. Our private vehicle takes you straight from the terminal curb to your exact address without transfers along the way.
Traffic varies depending on your arrival time, with the busy evening hours pushing the drive to 76 minutes. During quieter periods, the run settles to around 58 minutes. We track your flight continuously, so our driver is ready at the terminal whenever your plane touches down.
Our fixed rate applies to the entire private vehicle rather than charging individual fares. A family or small group divides that single cost evenly between everyone travelling together. We take you across the city and straight to the door, keeping the entire trip straightforward from start to finish.
