About this transfer
If your destination is on the Asian side of the city, booking an Istanbul Airport (IST) to Sultanbeyli transfer takes you right across from the European terminal. The drive covers 80 km via Kuzey Marmara Otoyolu, taking you directly past the urban core.
We meet you outside the arrivals hall with a name board, help with your luggage, and drive you straight to your door. When roads are clear, the trip takes 68 minutes, staying steady across most daylight hours because the motorway bypasses central bottlenecks. We track your flight beforehand, so delays do not affect your pickup or add waiting fees.
Travelling by public transit requires boarding the M11 subway at the terminal, switching to the 522 bus at Köprülü Kavşak, and making a second change at Necip Fazıl Metro onto the BL401-Viaport-Dudullu line. That journey involves 136 minutes of transit time alongside 660 m of walking between connections.
Public transport fares are charged per passenger at TRY 164. Our private transfer costs €69 for the entire vehicle, which splits down to €35 per person for two passengers or €17 each for a group of four.
