About this transfer
Landing on the Asian side and heading out to Esenyurt takes you right across Istanbul to the European side. If you book a Sabiha Gökçen Airport (SAW) to Esenyurt transfer with us, our driver meets you inside the terminal with a name board and takes your bags. From there, we drive via Kuzey Marmara Otoyolu directly to your address.
The journey covers 85 kilometres across the two continents. Without delays, the direct drive takes about 74 minutes, though evening peak hours can extend that time considerably. We track your incoming flight, so our driver is waiting at the exit even when your plane lands late.
Getting there on public transport involves multiple connections across the city. You start on the M4 subway to Ayrılık Çeşmesi, change to the B1 Marmaray to cross the Bosphorus to Küçükçekmece, and then switch to the A43-Avcılar-Saadetdere bus. That route takes 158 minutes and includes over a kilometre of walking between stops.
With a private transfer, the whole vehicle costs €73 regardless of how many passengers travel together. We take you straight to the door without transfers, intermediate stops, or carrying luggage between platforms.
