About this transfer

Landing on the Asian side of Istanbul when your accommodation sits on the European side means a substantial journey across the city. Arranging our Sabiha Gökçen Airport (SAW) to Bahçelievler transfer ensures you bypass transit hubs and begin the drive immediately after collecting your luggage. We meet you inside the arrivals hall with a personalized name board and guide you directly to your waiting car.

The route spans 69 km, following the Anadolu Otoyolu westward across the urban corridor. Under normal traffic conditions, reaching Bahçelievler takes 56 minutes, though peak evening congestion can extend the drive to 93 minutes. We monitor your flight schedule continuously to adjust for any landing delays, ensuring your driver is ready when you emerge.

Getting there on public transit requires boarding the M4 metro line, transferring at Ayrılık Çeşmesi to the B1 Marmaray, and switching to the 98S bus. That combined route involves two full vehicle changes and over a kilometre of walking with your bags before reaching the district. Choosing our private transfer eliminates every transfer and carries you door to door in one uninterrupted journey.

We offer a fixed journey price starting at €71 for the whole vehicle, which includes luggage assistance and complimentary waiting time. When travelling with family or colleagues, this single vehicle price divides evenly among everyone in your party. You step into the car at the terminal and travel straight to your destination without navigating complicated transit maps or carrying heavy bags between stations.
