Private door-to-door transfer · about 63 km, 55 min · one fixed price.
About this transfer
Landing on the Asian side means crossing over to the European side to reach Beyoğlu. Booking a private Sabiha Gökçen Airport (SAW) to Rayelin Hotel Taksim transfer takes you across the city along Anadolu Otoyolu, covering 63 km directly to the hotel entrance. We wait for you at arrivals with a name board and assist with your luggage.
Driving is the only option that takes you straight to the address without walking with bags. Normal traffic allows us to complete the journey in about 55 minutes, whereas morning peak traffic can extend the drive to 79 minutes. We track your incoming flight, so our driver is ready outside whenever you land.
Taking public transit means switching between three separate rail lines. You start on the M4 subway, change to the Marmaray commuter train at Ayrılık Çeşmesi, and switch again to the M2 subway at Yenikapı. That path requires two transfers and ends with a walk from Taksim station to the hotel.
The SG-2 airport shuttle runs directly to the Abdülhak Hamit Caddesi stop near the district centre. It charges a single fare per passenger and drops you off a short distance away, leaving you to finish the trip on foot. With a private vehicle, you secure a fixed vehicle price of €66 for the entire party and travel directly to the door.
