Private door-to-door transfer · about 81 km, 65 min · one fixed price.
About this transfer
Landing on the Asian side of the city when your room waits in Arnavutköy means travelling across the entire urban sprawl to the European side. Booking a Sabiha Gökçen Airport (SAW) to Garner Hotel Istanbul - Airport Arnavutkoy by IHG transfer ensures that our driver meets you at the arrivals gate holding a name board. We assist with your luggage and guide you directly to your waiting vehicle outside the terminal.
The journey covers 81 kilometres, following the Kuzey Marmara Otoyolu along the northern edge of the metropolis. Under typical conditions, our vehicle completes the entire drive in 65 minutes from airport pickup to destination. Staying on the main motorway allows us to bypass the dense inner-city traffic and provide a straightforward route to Arnavutköy.
Attempting the same journey via public transport requires boarding the M4 subway, transferring to the B1 Marmaray, switching to the M11 subway, and finally catching the ARN5 bus. Managing that route requires navigating three separate line changes while carrying your luggage through stations and walking between stops. That multi-step transit connection extends total travel time to approximately 161 minutes before you reach the hotel.
We monitor your flight schedule continuously and provide free waiting time if your landing runs behind schedule. Our private service operates at a fixed cost of €80 for the private vehicle rather than charging fares per person. That single rate delivers your entire travel group straight to the hotel entrance without intermediate stops.
