About this route

Taksim is Istanbul's busiest hub, close to İstiklal Avenue, Galata and the hotels of Beyoğlu.

About Taksim

Sabiha Gökçen Airport is on Istanbul's Asian side, in Pendik. Taksim is on the European side, at the centre of the city with İstiklal Avenue, Galata and the hotels of Beyoğlu. This is one of the most common transfers for passengers landing on the Asian side and staying in hotels on the European side.

About the journey

This journey crosses to the other side of the Bosphorus; your driver chooses the best bridge or tunnel route for the traffic. The Bosphorus crossings are where traffic varies most during the day, so travel time can differ noticeably by hour. You are dropped at the closest point to your hotel that can be reached by car.

Tips for travellers

In the evening rush hour the Bosphorus crossing can take longer; allow plenty of time for your return flight.
On flights landing late at night the roads are quieter and the journey is much shorter.
If your flight is delayed, your driver tracks it by flight number; just enter it in the form.

How it works

Create your transfer request with the date, time and number of passengers.
Your request is forwarded to a suitable carrier with a transport licence.
The carrier contacts you and confirms the final price and meeting point.

Sabiha Gökçen Airport – Taksim: how to get there

The distance is about 43.0 km and the drive takes ~50-75 min depending on traffic. Compare your options:

Option	Advantages	Disadvantages
VIP transfer (VeeVip)	Door to door, meet-and-greet in arrivals, price known in advance, room for luggage, available for late-night flights.	More expensive than public transport for one person; for groups the cost per person drops.
Taxi	Available right at the airport, door to door.	Metered fare not known in advance; vehicle type and luggage space not guaranteed.
Airport shuttle bus	Affordable, with a luggage hold.	Fixed stops and timetable; you still need to get from the last stop to your address.
Public transport (train, metro, bus)	The cheapest option.	Changes may be needed; awkward with luggage and late at night, and it takes longer.
Car hire	Freedom to explore during your stay.	Driving after a tiring flight; tolls and parking are up to you.

Public transport lines, shuttle timetables and taxi fares can change; check the latest information before you travel.

Vehicles and capacity

Vehicle	Passengers	Large suitcases	Best for
Mercedes Vito VIP	5	5	Couples, families and small groups
VIP Sprinter	7	7	Large families and groups
