Beylikdüzü transfer and taxi in western Istanbul

Beylikdüzü became a separate district in 2008 and has grown fast since the 1999 earthquake, when many families moved here for newer buildings. The Metrobüs rapid bus line reached it in 2012, linking it to the city centre.

The district is mostly modern residential towers, shopping centres and wide avenues, between Esenyurt to the north and the sea to the south. Whether you are visiting family, attending a trade event or staying in a business hotel near the highway, the street address is what the driver needs.

Neighbouring Esenyurt, to the north, has its own page on this site with the same fares.

The shore at the southern edge of the district has parks and a coastal promenade. Most of Beylikdüzü, though, is a grid of residential towers built in the last two decades.

Most addresses in Beylikdüzü are in large residential estates with security gates, or in business hotels along the D.100 (E-5). Both are easy for a van to reach, but the estate name and block number save time.

Give the driver the full address, the site name and the block. If the gate does not let the vehicle in, he waits at the entrance and helps with the bags.

Business hotels along the D.100 usually have a forecourt and a clear entrance from a service road. Because the highway is divided, the driver may need a U-turn further along to reach the right side.

Some newer streets are missing from older maps, so a location pin from your host is a useful backup.

At IST or SAW, the driver stands right at the exit door you come out of, holding a printed sign with your name. Delays are tracked, and there is no charge for waiting.

To fly out, Beylikdüzü to Istanbul Airport measures about 51 km and 45 minutes in free traffic, while Beylikdüzü to Sabiha Gökçen is about 76 km and 58 minutes. With traffic, an estimate of 75 to 105 minutes for the SAW leg is realistic.

Flights into IST suit Beylikdüzü better: the €50 fare, a shorter drive and no Bosphorus crossing on the way.

Pay at the end of the ride, never online: cash in euros, pounds or lira, or Visa and Mastercard on the terminal in each car, contactless included.

Child seats and boosters are free for Beylikdüzü rides; tell us the children's ages. For a large family or a group, a Sprinter carries up to 16 people, at €80 from IST.

You can ask a question on WhatsApp with just "Beylikdüzü"; the booking needs the date, time and address.

Arriving with a lot of luggage for a long stay? Tell us the number of suitcases, and we suggest a Vito at €60 or a V-Class at €65 from IST if the Eco Van would be tight.
