Private door-to-door transfer · about 99 km, 70 min · one fixed price.
About this transfer
Landing on the European side after a flight, travelling out to Pendik means crossing Istanbul from one far end to the other. Arranging your Istanbul Airport (IST) to Holiday Inn Istanbul Tuzla Bay Hotel transfer in advance ensures our driver is already waiting the moment you step out of the baggage reclaim area. We meet you at the arrivals exit with a name board, help with your luggage, and lead you straight to the vehicle.
The route leads around the northern edge of the city along Kuzey Marmara Otoyolu for 99 km. Under typical conditions, our driver brings you directly to the hotel entrance in about 70 minutes. We track your flight status throughout the day, so any unexpected flight delays are accounted for before you land.
Taking public transport all the way to Tuzla Bay involves boarding the M11 subway at the terminal, changing to the 251 bus, and transferring again to a local bus. That multi-leg journey takes 143 minutes and includes walking between roadside stops with all your suitcases. Managing several separate transit lines after a long flight requires significant time and effort.
Public transport charges a separate ticket for every passenger on each leg, whereas our private service is booked at a single fixed rate of €84 for the entire group. Splitting that vehicle price among four people makes the cost per person practical while keeping your group together. We drive you straight to the lobby on the Asian side without intermediate stops or connections.
