About this transfer
Landing on the Asian side of Istanbul brings you relatively close to your destination. Our Sabiha Gökçen Airport (SAW) to Ümraniye transfer takes you directly from the terminal exit to your address in the district. The route runs along Kuzey Marmara Otoyolu for about 40 km before heading into local streets.
We track your flight and wait for you outside with a name board. Our driver helps with your luggage and takes you straight to the door, so you skip the interchanges entirely. In normal traffic conditions, the drive takes around 29 minutes.
Public transport requires boarding the UM73 bus toward Samandıra Metro and transferring to the M5 subway line toward Çakmak. That journey takes about 82 minutes, plus walking between stops with your bags. While transit charges a fixed fare per person, our private vehicle provides one set rate of €41 for your whole group.
Staying on the Asian side keeps the travel simple without crossing between continents. We make sure you reach your hotel or apartment smoothly after your flight arrives.
