Istanbul Airport (IST) to Ramada Encore by Wyndham Istanbul Arnavutkoy transfer
Private door-to-door transfer · about 17 km, 19 min · one fixed price.
About this transfer
Landing at the terminal places you on the European side of the city, within the district of Arnavutköy and only a short ride from your accommodation. Arranging our Istanbul Airport (IST) to Ramada Encore by Wyndham Istanbul Arnavutkoy transfer means our driver receives you directly outside the arrivals hall with no delays. The hotel itself lies roughly 17 kilometres from the main exit doors.
We track your flight before arrival so your pick-up time adjusts automatically whenever an incoming flight is delayed. Once you pass through the baggage area, we meet you with a personalised name board and help carry your bags to the waiting vehicle. We drive you straight to the hotel doors in approximately 19 minutes, without any intermediate stops along the route.
Public transport routes like the municipal H-6 bus and the HVİST - 5A airport shuttle both run from the airport platforms towards the Arnavutköy Belediyesi stop. While these services provide regular connections into the district, both drop passengers along the public road and leave an onward walk to the hotel with heavy suitcases. Navigating public ticketing and waiting for fixed departure times can also add delay after landing.
Our private service gives you a dedicated ride for a fixed price starting at €41 for the vehicle rather than charging individual tickets per person. Up to four people can travel together comfortably with plenty of luggage space in a single car. We take care of the entire journey from the terminal curb directly to the reception desk.
