About this transfer
Arriving on the Asian side puts you close to your destination, as our Sabiha Gökçen Airport (SAW) to Kartal transfer covers just 19 km. We meet you outside arrivals with a name board, help with your luggage, and drive you straight to your address.
The drive usually takes around 22 minutes, depending on the time of day you arrive. We track your flight details before you land, so your driver is already in position when you walk out of the terminal. If your flight is delayed, our free waiting time applies automatically.
Public transit on this route requires boarding the M4 subway at the airport station and riding it to Kartal. From Kartal Köprüsü, you change to the 134CK bus toward Kartal Neyzen Tevfik Meydanı to reach the local streets. That option involves navigating connections with bags and finishing on foot.
A private transfer provides door-to-door service in a vehicle reserved solely for your group. The single fixed rate starts from €41, which divides among your party rather than charging individual transit fares. If you are travelling as four passengers, that works out to €10 per person for the entire trip.
