About this transfer

Landing on the European side of the city leaves you with a journey southwest into the district of Küçükçekmece. Booking your Istanbul Airport (IST) to ibis Istanbul West transfer directly with us ensures our driver meets you at the arrivals gate with a personalized name board and takes care of your heavy bags. We guide you to your vehicle and drive you straight to the hotel entrance.

Our route follows Kuzey Marmara Otoyolu across 43 kilometres, usually bringing you to your destination in 41 minutes under typical driving conditions. Even during peak evening traffic hours, this northern motorway corridor helps drivers bypass central congestion and maintain steady progress toward the hotel. Traveling in the quiet early morning hours provides an even quicker ride along the open highway.

Reaching the address on public transport requires taking the M11 metro line to Halkalı and then transferring between two separate city buses toward Fatih Caddesi. Making those connections while managing heavy suitcases involves 713 m of walking between platforms, roadside stops, and local streets. Our direct drive avoids the need to study transit maps, manage transfers, or purchase multiple tickets after a tiring flight.

We track your incoming flight in real time so our driver is ready at the terminal whenever your plane lands. The private journey starts at €41 for the vehicle, allowing couples, families, or colleagues to share one fixed rate rather than paying individually. You travel together directly to the lobby without waiting for other passengers or making unnecessary detours along the way.
