Sabiha Gökçen Airport (SAW) to Hilton İstanbul Bosphorus transfer
Private door-to-door transfer · about 42 km, 54 min · one fixed price.
About this transfer
Landing on the Asian side and heading into the city means crossing over to the European side. Arranging a private Sabiha Gökçen Airport (SAW) to Hilton İstanbul Bosphorus transfer brings you straight to your hotel entrance in Şişli. We meet you at the arrivals gate with a name board, help with your luggage, and set off along Anadolu Otoyolu.
The journey covers 42 km and usually takes about 54 minutes. We track your flight ahead of time and include free waiting time if your landing runs late. Instead of coordinating multiple vehicles for your group, our private ride carries everyone together in one trip.
Public transport requires boarding the M4 subway, switching to the 251 bus at Kozyatağı Metro, and finishing on the 66 bus. Carrying heavy bags through multiple transfers adds considerable time and effort to the journey. The SG-2 airport shuttle is another option, though it sets you down at Abdülhak Hamit Caddesi and leaves you with an uphill walk to the hotel lobby.
Our private service delivers you directly to the front desk without intermediate stops. You pay a fixed vehicle rate starting from €41, with taxes and meet-and-greet service included. Our driver handles the road and the bags so you can arrive at the hotel ready for your stay.
