Sabiha Gökçen Airport (SAW) to ibis Istanbul West transfer
Private door-to-door transfer · about 74 km, 61 min · one fixed price.
About this transfer
Landing on the Asian side and heading out to Küçükçekmece takes you right across Istanbul to the European side. Booking a Sabiha Gökçen Airport (SAW) to ibis Istanbul West transfer means we meet you at the arrivals gate with a name board, take care of your bags, and drive you straight along Kuzey Marmara Otoyolu.
The drive covers 74 km, which takes around 61 minutes when traffic is standard. Late in the evening the journey runs faster, but travelling during the evening rush hour can increase travel time up to 100 minutes.
Making the same journey on public transit is a long route across the city. You need to board the M4 subway, change to the Marmaray at Ayrılık Çeşmesi, switch to the M9 at Ataköy, and finish with the A215-Sefaköy-Ikitelli bus before walking to the entrance. Carrying heavy suitcases through multiple line transfers turns a cross-city trip into a tiring effort.
With our private transfer, you skip every connection and travel directly to the hotel door. Our pricing is fixed per vehicle rather than per person, flight tracking is included if your arrival is delayed, and our driver handles the entire route while you rest.
