About this transfer

Landing on the Asian side and heading across to Zeytinburnu means travelling between continents to reach your hotel. Booking our Sabiha Gökçen Airport (SAW) to Uranus Istanbul Topkapi transfer lets you walk out of the terminal and step straight into a waiting vehicle. We meet you at the arrivals exit with a name board, assist with your luggage, and set off immediately.

The route covers 64 kilometres across the city via Kuzey Marmara Otoyolu. The drive usually takes 52 minutes, delivering you directly to the hotel entrance on the European side. We track your flight in advance, so our driver is ready at the terminal whenever your plane touches down.

Travelling this route by public transit involves taking the M4 metro line, changing to the Marmaray train, and catching the MR11 bus toward Cevizlibağ. Moving luggage between platforms and completing the final walk adds up to 103 minutes of travel time. While the rail network is extensive, managing multiple connections after a long flight requires patience.

Our private service costs a fixed rate from €67 per vehicle rather than charging per person. Four passengers travelling together simply split that single fee among themselves while keeping their luggage secure in the back. You bypass connections, avoid transfers on the transit network, and arrive at your hotel without delay.
