Sabiha Gökçen Airport to Taksim Transfer
You have landed at Sabiha Gökçen Airport and you are heading to Taksim. Instead of a taxi queue, a meter or public transport with changes, a private car with a driver who meets you at the exit with your name takes you straight to your hotel or address.
The drive is about 48 km and takes around 55 minutes in normal traffic. The price is per vehicle, fixed at booking, and does not change if traffic is slow.

About the Area
Taksim is the busiest square on the European side of Istanbul. İstiklal Avenue, the Galata Tower, Cihangir and Karaköy are within walking distance, and it is one of the areas with the most hotels in the city. The Galataport cruise terminal is nearby too.
Some streets in Taksim and Beyoğlu are narrow or pedestrian only, so your driver drops you at your hotel door or the closest point a car can reach.
How the Transfer Works
From Sabiha Gökçen the route crosses to the European side over the 15 July Martyrs Bridge or the Fatih Sultan Mehmet Bridge. Taksim is only a few kilometres from the end of the bridge.
Add your flight number when booking and we will track your landing time. After you collect your bags, your driver waits at the arrivals exit with a sign showing your name. Payment is in cash in the car or by bank transfer.
