Sabiha Gökçen Airport (SAW) to Holiday Inn Istanbul - Kadikoy transfer
Private door-to-door transfer · about 34 km, 33 min · one fixed price.
About this transfer
Landing on the Asian side of Istanbul puts you 34 km east of your destination in the Kadıköy district. Arranging a Sabiha Gökçen Airport (SAW) to Holiday Inn Istanbul - Kadikoy transfer ensures our driver is waiting for you in the arrivals hall with a name board. We take care of your bags, lead you to the vehicle, and head straight out onto Anadolu Otoyolu without any delay.
The direct drive takes 33 minutes under normal conditions, though traffic during the evening peak can stretch the journey considerably. Choosing our private transfer means you bypass local transit connections and travel straight to the hotel doors without carrying heavy luggage through unfamiliar public streets. Our driver handles the entire route so you arrive at check-in ready to unpack.
Going by public transit requires boarding the M4 subway at the terminal, changing to the 19S bus at Kozyatağı, and walking the final stretch. The SG-1 airport shuttle offers another shared alternative, though it drops passengers at Acıbadem Metro and leaves you with an onward walk. Both public options charge separate individual fares and operate on fixed timetables rather than coordinating with your flight.
Our private transfer provides a dedicated vehicle for your party at a fixed rate from €41. Up to four passengers can share the ride while splitting that single fare, with luggage space reserved for all of your bags. We track your flight arrival and include waiting time, so our driver is ready at the terminal whenever you land.
