Frequently Asked Questions

What does an Istanbul private transfer cost in 2026?▼

IST Airport to central Istanbul (Sultanahmet/Taksim/Beşiktaş) is €50 by Mercedes Vito, €55 by Vito VIP. SAW to the Asian side (Kadıköy) is €55 Vito / €60 Vito VIP; SAW to the European side (Sultanahmet/Taksim) is €65 Vito / €70 Vito VIP. No night surcharge — price is 24/7 flat. Name-sign meet-and-greet and flight tracking are included; a child seat is available on request for a fee.

How long does the Sabiha Gökçen transfer take?▼

SAW to Kadıköy takes about 30 minutes, SAW to Taksim 55 minutes and SAW to Sultanahmet 60 minutes (the drive times in the fare table). Bridge traffic adds time; morning hours (07:00–09:00) cause Bosphorus Bridge congestion, so your driver may prefer the FSM Bridge.

What is the fastest IST Airport transfer option?▼

New Istanbul Airport (IST) to Taksim takes about 50 minutes and to Sultanahmet 55 minutes (the drive times in the fare table). A private transfer has no connections: you ride door to door at a fixed price.

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, €75 Vito VIP / €65 Vito. SAW to Galataport is 70 minutes, €90 Vito VIP / €85 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 price is fixed at booking, while the yellow taxi fare depends on the meter and traffic.

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

Yes — multi-stop bookings are supported. With extra stops, the fixed price is calculated at booking from the actual route distance including every stop. Example: IST → hotel → restaurant → hotel → IST. Add the stop addresses to the booking note; a fixed price is calculated. Hourly hire (4 hours from Taksim) is also available: Vito €110 / Vito VIP €125.

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?▼

Cash on arrival (EUR/USD/GBP/TRY), paid directly to the driver; no card or online payment for this transfer. 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).
