Routes

Istanbul airport transfer routes

Each route page covers one leg, such as Istanbul Airport to Taksim or Kadıköy to Sabiha Gökçen, with its fixed fare, the distance and drive time, and what to expect on the way. A leg on the airport's side of the Bosphorus is €50 in the Eco Van; a leg that crosses it is €70.

All prices

From the airports into the city

Arrival routes run from Istanbul Airport and from Sabiha Gökçen to sixteen destinations: Taksim, Sultanahmet, Galata, Karaköy, Fatih, Beşiktaş, Ortaköy, Şişli, Nişantaşı, Levent and Maslak, Bakırköy, Beylikdüzü, Kadıköy, Üsküdar, Ataşehir and Galataport. The fare depends on whether the destination shares the airport's shore.

Every route page shows the vehicle fares for that leg, a note on the part of the city you drive into, and where the driver drops you. The reverse leg is linked from each page.

Back to the airport

Every destination also has pages for the ride back to each airport, with advice on when to leave for your flight and a planner that works out a pick-up time from your departure time. The fare going out equals the fare coming in.

Between the two airports

The transfer from Istanbul Airport to Sabiha Gökçen, and the reverse, always crosses the Bosphorus and costs €70 in the Eco Van. Its pages explain how to plan a connection between flights at different airports, and why both flight numbers belong in the booking.

Questions and answers

Is the fare on a return route the same as the arrival?

Yes. Kadıköy to Sabiha Gökçen costs what Sabiha Gökçen to Kadıköy costs.

Which routes cross the Bosphorus?

Any route between IST and an Asian-side destination, between SAW and a European-side destination, and between the two airports.

Do route pages show the driving time?

Yes: the measured distance and the time on an empty road, with a longer estimate for rush hour.

My destination has no route page. Can I still book?

Yes. Use the Fare Pass with your hotel or district; the same side rule sets the fare.

Does the driver always take the same route?

No. The driver chooses the way on the day according to the traffic and any closures, and the fare does not change whichever way the van goes.

Still unsure? Ask dispatch.
