Sabiha Gökçen Airport (SAW) to Centro WestSide by Rotana Hotel transfer
Private door-to-door transfer · about 71 km, 60 min · one fixed price.
About this transfer
Landing on the Asian side when your hotel is in Bağcılar means traveling all the way over to the European side of Istanbul. We manage your Sabiha Gökçen Airport (SAW) to Centro WestSide by Rotana Hotel transfer so you can step off the plane and head straight to your destination. Our driver meets you at the arrivals terminal exit with a name board, helps carry your luggage, and escorts you out to the vehicle.
The drive covers 71 kilometres, using the Kuzey Marmara Otoyolu to bypass central traffic. Opting for a private car gets you directly to the hotel in 60 minutes when traffic flows smoothly. We track your flight details throughout the day, ensuring our driver waits for you at the gate even when incoming flights land behind schedule.
Getting there by public transit requires taking the M4 metro to Ayrılık Çeşmesi, boarding the Marmaray across to Bakırköy, changing to the M3 metro line, and catching a bus. Managing three separate transfers with heavy suitcases stretches the journey out to 155 minutes. The nearest rail station to the hotel is İstoç on the M3 line, which still leaves a long walk to the front desk.
Public transport requires separate fares for every person in your group at each interchange along the way. Booking our private service means you pay a fixed price of €72 for the vehicle, split among everyone traveling together. You ride comfortably across the city in a single vehicle, arriving at the hotel entrance without hauling bags up and down station stairs.
