About this transfer
Landing on the Asian side and arranging your Sabiha Gökçen Airport (SAW) to Maltepe transfer keeps your journey entirely within this southern district of Istanbul. We greet you inside the terminal arrivals hall with a personalized name board, assist with your luggage, and head out along the D-100 highway. The drive covers 24 km and typically takes 26 minutes under ordinary road conditions.
Travel times can fluctuate during busy evening hours on the main corridor, but our private car delivers you straight to your hotel or residential address. We track your flight arrival in real time, so our driver is ready at the exit even if your inbound flight experiences unexpected delays. The ride is priced at €41 for the vehicle rather than per passenger, dividing easily among private groups of two or four people.
Navigating by public transit involves boarding the M4 subway line directly at the airport terminal to Huzurevi before transferring onto the local C58-Maltepe-Gülensu bus. That combined journey takes roughly 59 minutes to complete, alongside walking between stops with your luggage in hand. Each passenger pays a separate ticket fare on every leg instead of paying one set vehicle rate for everyone.
Opting for a private vehicle gives you door-to-door service from the terminal doors without having to manage transfers or study transit timetables. We take care of the driving, route navigation, and luggage so you reach your Maltepe destination without unnecessary stops along the way.
