Istanbul Airport Transfer — Fixed Price from IST to Sultanahmet, Taksim & Asian Side
8,000+ Transfers | 4.9★ | TURSAB #14519 | 24/7 Dutch-speaking driver available
Merry Tourism offers fixed-price Istanbul airport transfers from Istanbul Airport (IST) on the European side and Sabiha Gökçen (SAW) on the Asian side, with a dedicated Dutch-speaking driver desk for KLM, Pegasus, Corendon and Turkish Airlines passengers arriving from Amsterdam Schiphol (AMS), Rotterdam-The Hague (RTM), Eindhoven (EIN) and Brussels (BRU). Our drivers are bilingual Turkish-Dutch and understand the specific logistics of the IST-Sultanahmet corridor, TEM motorway to Bursa, and Bosphorus bridge tolls — all without you ever seeing a taxi meter run. There are three operational realities every Dutch traveller should know. First, Pegasus and Corendon fly mainly to SAW (Asian side), while KLM and Turkish Airlines arrive at IST (European side) — the 70 km cross-airport transfer between them costs €45-55 with our fixed price. Second, the E-5/D-100 corridor into the centre regularly stops on Friday mornings and 16:00-19:00; a meter-based ride can hit €70+ for one hour. Our fixed price stays €30 for Sultanahmet regardless of traffic. Third, Turkish-Dutch families travel with 4-6 large suitcases plus gifts for relatives — our Mercedes Vito (4 pax, 6 cases) and Sprinter (8 pax, 10 cases) are purpose-built for this family transfer use-case. Merry Tourism is a TÜRSAB-licensed travel agency (#14519) with full insurance and legal protection on every ride. Our fleet covers Mercedes E-Class sedan (business, 2 pax), Mercedes Vito (4-6 pax family) and Mercedes Sprinter (8 pax with gift bags). Live flight tracking for KLM KL1957, Pegasus PC1273 AMS→IST, Corendon CND and Turkish Airlines TK direct from Schiphol — if your flight delays 90 minutes, the driver waits free. Service areas cover all of European Istanbul (Sultanahmet, Taksim, Beşiktaş, Etiler, Maslak), Asian Istanbul (Kadıköy, Üsküdar, Ataşehir), plus intercity routes to Bursa, Sapanca and Edirne.
The core principle is fixed pricing — no meter, no night surcharge, no traffic surcharge. The price you see online (IST → Sultanahmet €30 sedan, €45 Vito) is exactly what you pay. For multi-stop family routes — airport → hotel → aunt in Sultangazi → grandparents in Bağcılar — we offer all-in fixed pricing without per-stop surcharge. During Ramadan and Suikerfeest (Şeker Bayramı), we coordinate pre-booked family-visit routes. Premium hotel transfers to Çırağan Palace Kempinski, Four Seasons Sultanahmet, Raffles Istanbul and Swissôtel The Bosphorus include a personalised welcome card. Book via WhatsApp +90 537 040 68 22 or the online form — confirmation within 30 minutes, Dutch-speaking support guaranteed.

Istanbul Airport Transfer — Frequently Asked Questions
How much does an Istanbul airport transfer cost from Amsterdam Schiphol?▼
Our fixed prices from IST (where KLM KL1957, Turkish Airlines TK1952 and Corendon CND arrive): IST → Sultanahmet €30 sedan, €45 Vito; IST → Taksim/Beşiktaş €28 sedan, €40 Vito; IST → Asian side (Kadıköy/Üsküdar) €45 sedan, €60 Vito; IST → Bursa €120 Vito (intercity, ~150 km via Yavuz Sultan Selim bridge). For Pegasus PC1273 landing at SAW: SAW → Sultanahmet €35 sedan. All prices per vehicle, not per person, including toll, parking and VAT.
Does the driver speak Dutch? I am flying KLM from Schiphol.▼
Yes. For bookings from the Netherlands and Belgium, we default-assign a Turkish-Dutch bilingual driver. If a Dutch speaker is unavailable on your date, the English-speaking driver is used — your WhatsApp queries are still handled in Dutch. Note "Dutch-speaking" in the remarks field. Our drivers for the Turkish-Dutch market also know the specific neighbourhoods of Esenler, Sultangazi, Bağcılar and Eyüpsultan where many relatives live.
My KLM flight is delayed 90 minutes. Are there extra charges?▼
No. We live-track your KLM, Pegasus, Corendon or Turkish Airlines flight number via Flightradar. Delays up to 120 minutes incur no waiting fee — the price confirmed at booking is the final price. For delays beyond 120 minutes our 24/7 dispatch contacts you to adjust logistics, again without surprise charges. No meter, no night surcharge between 22:00-06:00.
Can I book a Mercedes Sprinter for 8 passengers with lots of luggage?▼
Yes. Our Mercedes Sprinter accommodates up to 8 passengers plus 10 large suitcases — perfect for Turkish-Dutch families travelling with gifts for relatives or wedding guests staying multiple days. IST → Sultanahmet in Sprinter €65, IST → Taksim €60, IST → Bursa €150. Sprinter has individual AC, Wi-Fi, USB-C charging and tinted windows. For families above 8, we coordinate two Sprinters with one fixed total price.
How does multi-stop transfer work for a Suikerfeest visit?▼
During Ramadan and Şeker Bayramı (Suikerfeest), multi-stop is standard. You book one fixed price for the entire route — e.g. IST → hotel Taksim (drop luggage) → aunt in Sultangazi (30 min coffee stop) → grandparents in Bağcılar (90 min meal stop) → back to hotel — for one all-in fare in Vito €120. No per-stop surcharge, no waiting fee. Specify all addresses at booking; we plan the optimal route and confirm via WhatsApp.
What premium hotels in Istanbul do you transfer to?▼
Our premium hotel routes: Çırağan Palace Kempinski (IST → €55 sedan, €75 Vito), Four Seasons Sultanahmet (€35 sedan), Four Seasons Bosphorus (€45 sedan), Raffles Istanbul Zorlu Center (€40 sedan), Swissôtel The Bosphorus (€42 sedan), Shangri-La Bosphorus (€50 sedan), Mandarin Oriental Bosphorus (€55 sedan). Welcome card and cold water included. For honeymoon couples on request: rose bouquet and champagne.
What is the difference between IST and SAW and why is cross-airport transfer expensive?▼
IST (Istanbul Airport) is on the European side — used by KLM, Turkish Airlines and Corendon. SAW (Sabiha Gökçen) is on the Asian side, 70 km away — used by Pegasus PC1273 (AMS→SAW direct) and some Corendon flights. SAW → IST cross-airport transfer is €55 sedan, €75 Vito due to the Yavuz Sultan Selim bridge toll and distance. Check your flight number before booking: PC = SAW, KL/TK = mostly IST. For transit between IST and SAW we recommend a 4-hour minimum buffer.
Is there a separate price for night arrival (Pegasus 03:00 at SAW)?▼
No. Our prices are 24/7 the same — no night surcharge, no weekend surcharge, no holiday surcharge. Pegasus PC flights from AMS often land at 03:00-04:30 at SAW; the price stays SAW → Sultanahmet €35 sedan regardless of hour. For night arrivals we use a rested driver with thermos coffee in the car. Book at least 24 hours in advance for night arrivals; for last-minute night transfers WhatsApp +90 537 040 68 22.
Can I bring luggage with no limit? I have gifts for family.▼
Yes. Our fleet is built for Turkish-Dutch families travelling with large luggage. Mercedes E-Class sedan handles 3 large suitcases + 2 carry-on; Mercedes Vito 6 large + 4 carry-on; Mercedes Sprinter 10 large + 8 carry-on. For extra-large items (pram, golf bag, musical instrument) note at booking — we assign the right vehicle without extra cost. No baggage surcharge, no oversize fee like taxi services.
Do you offer intercity transfers to Bursa or Edirne for family visits?▼
Yes. IST → Bursa €120 Vito (~150 km, 2 hours via Yavuz Sultan Selim bridge and TEM motorway); IST → Sapanca €110 (~140 km, 1h45m, popular for mountain lake resort weekends); IST → Edirne €140 (~230 km, 2h30m, Bulgarian border region). For same-day family visits (round-trip to Bursa) we offer fixed round-trip €220 Vito including 3 hours wait time in Bursa. Multi-day intercity packages on request.
Is a child seat available for my baby/toddler?▼
Yes, child seats are available on request (0-12 month infant carrier, 9-18 kg child seat, 22-36 kg booster). Note your children's ages at booking and we fit the right type. For two children together we recommend Mercedes Vito for extra space. No extra cost for child seats. Toys for the ride and cold water for kids are offered by our Turkish-Dutch driver.
How far in advance should I book for summer holidays?▼
For July-August summer season and bayram periods (Ramadan/Suikerfeest and Kurban Bayramı) we recommend 7-14 days advance booking — Turkish-Dutch families book heavily in these months and Sprinters are limited. For normal dates (September-June) 48 hours is enough. Last-minute (within 24 hours) is possible via WhatsApp +90 537 040 68 22 but Sprinter availability not guaranteed. Confirmation within 30 minutes in Dutch.
