Istanbul Airport (IST) to Hilton İstanbul Bosphorus transfer
Private door-to-door transfer · about 46 km, 50 min · one fixed price.
About this transfer
When you land on the European side of the city and head towards Şişli, our Istanbul Airport (IST) to Hilton İstanbul Bosphorus transfer takes you directly from the terminal exit to the hotel lobby. We track your flight before you land, meet you with a name board, and help carry your bags to the vehicle.
The route runs along the D-020, covering about 46 kilometres. A typical drive takes 50 minutes, though morning traffic around eight can extend the trip. Rather than navigating local interchanges yourself, our driver handles the entire road journey while you rest after your flight.
Public transit is available from the airport terminal using the M11 metro line, where you change at Kağıthane for the 48N bus to Trt İstanbul Radyosu. The HVL - 9 airport shuttle also runs regular trips to Taksim. Both transit options drop passengers at public stops, requiring a walk with luggage up the hill to the property entrance.
We charge a single fixed vehicle rate of €42, rather than ticketing per passenger or per suitcase. Our driver brings you straight to the front doors of the hotel, keeping your group together without platform transfers or walks between stops.
