About this transfer

Landing on the European side of the city and heading toward the Bağcılar district puts your destination southwest of the main terminal. Arranging an Istanbul Airport (IST) to Clarion Hotel Istanbul Mahmutbey transfer in advance means our driver greets you personally inside the arrivals hall with a name board. We assist with your heavy luggage and guide you directly to your private vehicle for a prompt departure from the terminal.

The route covers 40 km primarily along the Kuzey Marmara Otoyolu, bypassing dense inner-city traffic corridors. Under standard driving conditions, we bring you straight to the hotel door in about 36 minutes. Driving directly removes the uncertainty of navigating complex highway junctions or finding local road connections after a long flight.

Public transit is available from the airport terminal station, but reaching this section of Mahmutbey requires multiple connections across rail and bus networks. You take the M11 subway to Olimpiyatköy before changing onto two separate buses via Olimpiyat Stadı and İmsan Sanayi Sitesi. That full journey totals 87 minutes and finishes with a walk from the Altınbaş Üniversitesi bus stop.

We provide our private service at a fixed €41 for the entire vehicle rather than charging separate fares for each individual passenger. We track your flight from takeoff to landing so our driver is in position whenever your plane arrives at the gate. You travel directly to your hotel without having to manage multiple transit tickets or carry luggage between transfer points along the way.
