How it works
Luggage on your transfer
Luggage
- All luggage is included; tell us how many suitcases so we send the right vehicle.
- Pushchairs travel free, vehicle size permitting.
- Folding wheelchairs travel free, vehicle size permitting.
- Golf bags travel free, vehicle size permitting.
Why we ask for the suitcase count
Seats are easy to count; boot space is not. Six people with hand luggage fit an Eco Van comfortably, but six people with a large case each may need a bigger class. When the booking form asks for suitcases, it starts with one per traveller; change the number if yours differs.
We do not publish a fixed number of cases per vehicle, because it depends on the size of the bags and the model sent. Dispatch checks your numbers and suggests another class if needed.
Items that ride free
- Golf bags: free; count them with the suitcases.
- Pushchairs and prams: free; mention them so there is room.
- Folding wheelchairs: free; tell us if the passenger needs help getting in.
- Child seats and boosters: free on request, with the children's ages.
If a wheelchair does not fold, ask dispatch before you book; we cannot promise a vehicle with a ramp or a lift.
Large or unusual items
Bicycle boxes, surfboards, musical instruments in hard cases and similar items are worth describing in your message. Dispatch checks whether they fit the class you chose or whether a larger vehicle is needed; the fare then follows that class.
Musical instruments and fragile items can travel in the cabin with you if there is a free seat; say so when you book, so dispatch plans the seating as well as the boot.
Luggage for groups
For a group, add up the suitcases as well as the people. Twelve people with cabin bags and twelve with checked cases are very different loads, even in a Sprinter that takes up to 16 people. If the luggage outgrows one vehicle, dispatch can suggest two, and each is priced by the usual rule.
Packing for the drive
Keep passports, medicines and anything you need on the way in a small bag with you rather than in the boot. If you are travelling to the Old City, where some streets are narrow, the driver gets as close to the entrance as the street allows; a bag with wheels helps for the last metres.
Questions and answers
Is there a charge for extra suitcases?
No. Luggage is never charged; it only affects which vehicle class fits.
Can I bring golf clubs on an airport transfer?
Yes, golf bags travel free. Count them with the rest of the luggage.
Will a folding wheelchair fit?
Yes, folding wheelchairs travel free when the vehicle has room. For a chair that does not fold, ask dispatch first.
What if I have more bags than I booked for?
Tell dispatch as soon as you know. If they no longer fit, dispatch can switch you to a bigger class.
Does a pushchair count as one of my suitcases?
Mention it separately from the suitcases. It rides free, but it takes space, so dispatch needs to know about it when choosing the vehicle.
More on how it works
- Meeting your driver at IST and Sabiha GökçenAt both Istanbul airports your driver waits right at the exit door you come out of, holding a printed sign with your name. You do not need a gate number, a desk or a meeting point: walk out through arrivals after customs and look for your name.
- Flight delays and waiting timeIf your flight is late, you do not need to do anything. We track every arriving flight, the driver works to the real landing time, and waiting for a delayed flight is free. The fare stays exactly as booked, even when the delay pushes your arrival into the night.
- Paying for your transferYou pay the driver at the end of the ride, never in advance. Every car carries a card terminal for Visa and Mastercard, contactless included, and cash is welcome in euros, pounds sterling or Turkish lira. The amount is the fixed fare you were quoted when you booked.
- Child seats on your Istanbul transferChild seats and boosters are free on every transfer from and to Istanbul Airport and Sabiha Gökçen. Ask for them when you book and give each child's age, so the driver brings seats that suit them. Children add nothing to the fare, which is per vehicle.
- Cancellation policyYou can cancel an Istanbul airport transfer for free at any time: there is no deadline and no cancellation fee. Because nothing is paid in advance, there is also nothing to refund. Send one message to dispatch with your name or booking reference.
