About Istanbul Transfer Taxi

Istanbul Transfer Taxi runs private, pre-booked airport transfers between Istanbul's two airports and the city, on one rule: €50 per vehicle if you stay on your airport's side of the Bosphorus, €70 if you cross it. We are reached through one dispatch number, +90 551 464 26 32, at any hour.

All prices

Two continents, two airports, one rule

Istanbul spans two continents, and its two airports sit one on each of them. Rather than a long table of districts, we start from that geography: Istanbul Airport serves the European side, Sabiha Gökçen the Asian side, and a ride is either on the airport's shore or across the water.

The result is a fare you can work out before you open the booking form. It is the same at night as by day, it is per vehicle rather than per person, and it is paid to the driver at the end of the ride.

How we work

  • Private vehicles only: one booking is one vehicle for your group.
  • Four classes: Eco Van, Mercedes Vito, Mercedes V-Class and Mercedes Sprinter.
  • We track your flight, and waiting for a delay costs nothing.
  • The driver meets you right at your exit door with a printed name sign.
  • No prepayment: pay by card or in cash at the end.
  • Free cancellation at any time; free child seats on request.

Bookings come in through the Fare Pass on this site, the booking form, WhatsApp or a phone call, and all of them go to the same dispatch. Dispatch works in English and Turkish and answers messages in other languages as well.

What you will not find here

We are a new brand, and we prefer to say so plainly rather than decorate the site. You will not see stars, customer counts, founding years or awards on these pages, because we would rather you judge the service by the ride itself. Facts about the airports, the bridges and public transport come from official sources such as istairport.com, sabihagokcen.aero and the Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and we name them where we use them.

Every fare on the site comes from a single pricing module, so the number on a district page, in the Fare Pass and on the prices page is always the same.

Getting in touch

Questions, quotes for rides not listed on the site, and feedback all go to +90 551 464 26 32 on WhatsApp or by phone. If something about a ride was not right, tell us in the booking chat; we read every message.

Questions and answers

Is Istanbul Transfer Taxi a taxi rank or a booking service?

A booking service for private transfers. You book in advance and the vehicle is reserved for your group; we do not pick up at taxi ranks.

Which areas do you cover?

Rides from and to Istanbul Airport and Sabiha Gökçen, to and from districts and hotels on both sides of the city, Galataport, and the transfer between the two airports.

Why are there only two fares?

Because the crossing, not the kilometre count, is what really changes an Istanbul airport ride. Staying on one shore costs €50; crossing costs €70.

Who answers the phone?

Dispatch, which handles bookings, changes and questions for every ride.

Where can I read about your policies?

The How it works pages cover meeting the driver, delays, payment, child seats, luggage and cancellation, and the terms page sums them up.
