Frequently Asked Questions

What does an Istanbul private transfer cost in 2026?

IST Airport to central Istanbul (Sultanahmet/Taksim/Beşiktaş) is €25 by Mercedes sedan, €40 by Vito. SAW to the Asian side is €25 sedan / €35 Vito; SAW to the European side is €45 sedan / €60 Vito. No night surcharge — price is 24/7 flat. Child seat, name-sign meet-and-greet and flight tracking are included.

How long does the Sabiha Gökçen transfer take?

SAW to Kadıköy/Asian side takes 25–35 minutes; SAW to Sultanahmet/European side takes 55–70 minutes depending on bridge traffic. Morning hours (07:00–09:00) cause Bosphorus Bridge congestion — your driver may prefer the FSM Bridge. SAW to Taksim averages 50–60 min.

What is the fastest IST Airport transfer option?

New Istanbul Airport (IST) to Beyoğlu/Sultanahmet via Yeniköy and Arnavutköy is 45–55 minutes; 40 min without traffic. The Havaist bus is €5 but takes 75–90 min and requires connections at Sultanahmet stops. Private transfer is the optimum mix of speed and comfort.

Do drivers speak English / German?

Yes. Our standard team is 100% English-speaking and around 70% German-speaking. For Russian, Arabic or French, add a note like "please assign a German-speaking driver" to the booking. Turkish-English name signs are standard for meet-and-greet.

Is the child seat available? What if I have two children?

Yes, available on request. Baby seat (0–9 months), child seat (9 months–4 yrs) and booster (4–10 yrs) compliant with Turkish regulations are kept in stock. For two or more children we recommend the Mercedes Vito — wider rear bench, two seats and two pushchairs fit comfortably.

How does the cruise terminal (Galataport) transfer work?

IST to Galataport (Karaköy) is 55 minutes, €30 sedan / €45 Vito. SAW to Galataport is 70 minutes, €45 sedan / €60 Vito. We drop you at the terminal door; the driver schedules an early pickup based on your check-in. Luggage is delivered to the nearest cruise drop-off.

Is there a night arrival surcharge (00:00–06:00)?

No. Private transfer is 24/7 flat. The driver tracks your flight live and offers 60 minutes free waiting for delays / luggage issues. If your charter lands 02:00–04:00, the Mercedes flat rate beats the yellow taxi's +50% night surcharge by a wide margin.

Can I make multiple stops (hotel + airport + restaurant)?

Yes — multi-stop bookings are supported. Each extra stop adds €5–€10 (under 5 km). Example: IST → hotel → restaurant → hotel → IST. Add the stop addresses to the booking note; a fixed price is calculated. Hourly hire (4-hour minimum) at €25/hour is also available.

How does the return transfer work?

Combo round-trip bookings get a 10% discount. Hotel pickup is 3.5 hours before flight for IST and 2.5 hours before for SAW. The driver collects from the hotel reception, loads luggage and drops you at the airport entrance. WhatsApp/email confirmation 24 hours ahead.

Payment + cancellation policy?

Online card (Visa/MasterCard 3D Secure), bank transfer (EUR/TRY) or cash on arrival (EUR/USD/GBP/TRY). Free cancellation up to 24 hours before, then 50% refund. Flight cancellation / airline force majeure case is fully refunded once documented. Date/time changes are free (subject to availability).
