Frequently Asked Questions
How much is the transfer from Istanbul Airport to Taksim?
Economy sedan transfer from Istanbul Airport to Taksim starts at €35 with Merry Tourism. VIP (Mercedes E-Class) from €65, minibus (4-8 people) from €75. Price includes taxes, bridge tolls, and luggage — no night surcharge.
Are Istanbul Airport transfer prices fixed or metered?
Merry Tourism operates on fully fixed prices. The price shown at booking does not change regardless of flight time or traffic. Taxis use a meter — traffic can significantly increase the fare.
Is the night transfer more expensive?
No. Merry Tourism charges the same price day and night. A transfer at midnight or 4am costs the same as a midday one.
Will the driver wait if my flight is delayed? Is there an extra charge?
Yes, the driver tracks your flight and continues waiting if it's delayed. No waiting charge — this is included in the price.
How much is the transfer from Istanbul Airport to Kadikoy?
Kadikoy is on the Asian side, requiring a Bosphorus crossing from IST. Economy sedan from €50, VIP from €80, minibus from €90. Journey takes 55-80 minutes depending on traffic.
Should I choose Havaist or private transfer?
Havaist is affordable to specific stops, but you may need extra transport after the bus stop, there's no night service, and heavy luggage is difficult. For night travel, families, business trips, large luggage, and door-to-door service, private transfer is more practical.
When should I book the transfer?
Book as early as possible — especially for peak summer season, public holidays and busy periods. We recommend booking at least 24 hours before your flight. Last-minute bookings are possible but vehicle availability decreases during peak times.
