Sabiha Gökçen serves the Asian side of the city and most low-cost carriers. For guests staying in Kadıköy, Ataşehir or Bostancı it is the convenient airport; for anyone heading to Sultanahmet, Beyoğlu or Beşiktaş it means crossing the Bosphorus, and the crossing is where the time goes.
We price the whole journey as one fixed number per vehicle, tolls and bridge crossings included. Whether the traffic gives us fifty minutes or two hours, the figure on your confirmation is the figure you pay.
Both sides of the city
Kadıköy and Ataşehir in under forty minutes; Sultanahmet, Taksim and Beşiktaş across the bridge at a fixed price.
Late-night arrivals covered
SAW takes a great many flights after midnight. Our desk and our chauffeurs work through the night at the same rate.
60 minutes free waiting
From actual landing. Baggage at SAW is usually quicker than IST, but the allowance is the same.
Group and family capacity
Vito V-Class, V-Class VIP and Sprinter available on every SAW route — useful when a budget airline has spread a family across two flights.
Meeting point at SAW
The international arrivals exit at SAW opens into a compact hall. Your chauffeur waits directly ahead with your name on a sign. Domestic arrivals have their own exit and we assign the meeting point to whichever terminal your flight actually uses.
When SAW is the better airport
If your stay is on the Asian side, SAW usually beats IST by half an hour and a lower transfer price. If you are heading to the historic peninsula, the two airports end up similar in total journey time — so book on flight price and schedule, not on the assumption that one is closer.
For late-night SAW arrivals in winter we fit winter tyres from November, and intercity legs beyond the city are quoted separately as fixed-price journeys.
Common questions
About 50 kilometres including a Bosphorus crossing — sixty to ninety minutes depending on the hour. To Kadıköy it is closer to thirty-five minutes.
