What Istanbul Airport to Bakırköy costs
Because Istanbul Airport and Bakırköy share the European side, the Istanbul Airport to Bakırköy ride never crosses the Bosphorus and the Eco Van fare is €50 for the whole vehicle.
- Eco Van, up to six people: €50.
- Mercedes Vito: €60.
- Mercedes V-Class: €65.
- Mercedes Sprinter, up to 16 people: €80.
Istanbul Airport charges one fare for its own shore, so Bakırköy is €50 like any other European-side district. The other airport is across the Bosphorus and €70 from Bakırköy. If you book the ride into Bakırköy both ways, the return costs 2 × €50, so €100 in the Eco Van. No night surcharge.
