- Eco Van, up to six people: €70.
- Mercedes Vito: €80.
- Mercedes V-Class: €85.
- Mercedes Sprinter, up to 16 people: €100.
The Kadıköy fare from the other airport, on the Asian side, is €50. Istanbul Airport charges €70 for Kadıköy and every other Asian-side address. A return trip, into Kadıköy and back again, is two one-way fares: €140 for the Eco Van. Same fare day and night.
