Sabiha Gökçen Airport (SAW) to Levent transfer
Private door-to-door transfer · about 49 km, 39 min · one fixed price.
About this transfer
Landing on the Asian side and heading across the city to Levent brings you to Istanbul's European business district. Arranging your Sabiha Gökçen Airport (SAW) to Levent transfer in advance means our driver meets you at the terminal exit with a name board, takes your bags, and drives you straight out on the Kuzey Marmara Otoyolu.
The journey covers 49 km and takes about 39 minutes when roads run smoothly. We track your flight for delays and include waiting time at the gate, so you never have to rush through arrivals.
Crossing between continents on public transit involves the M4 subway to Ünalan, transferring to the 34AS bus at Uzunçayır, and catching the 27SE to Fabrikalar. That journey takes around 104 minutes and leaves you with a walk to your final stop. The SG-2 airport shuttle runs towards Levent throughout the day, but it drops passengers at a central stop rather than your exact address.
Our private transfer provides a direct drive to the door of your hotel or office. The vehicle is reserved entirely for your group, with the fixed price starting from €45 shared among everyone travelling together.
