Istanbul Airport to Bursa Transfer

Your driver meets you at the international arrivals level, right outside the exit doors, holding a sign with your name. The meeting point is the arrivals floor of Istanbul Airport, and the driver tracks your flight in real time. If your flight is delayed, the pickup time shifts automatically and you pay no extra fee.

After meeting, the driver assists with your luggage and escorts you to a private VIP vehicle. You can pay online by card in advance or in cash to the driver in EUR, USD, GBP or TRY. Reservations can be cancelled free of charge up to 24 hours before the pickup.

The distance from Istanbul Airport (IST) to Bursa is 197.2 km, and the average driving time without traffic is 136 minutes. The route crosses the Osmangazi Bridge and the Istanbul-Izmir Motorway, with all bridge and motorway tolls included in the fixed price. Istanbul Airport is on the European side in Arnavutköy district, about 40-55 km from the city center.

Istanbul traffic peaks on weekdays from 07:30 to 10:00 and from 17:00 to 20:30, which can add 20-40 minutes to the journey. The stated 136 minutes is a traffic-free average, so plan extra time if you travel during rush hours. Bursa lies south of Istanbul on the opposite shore of the Marmara Sea, so the drive is mostly on modern highways.

The starting price of 143 EUR is per vehicle, not per person, and covers bridge tolls, motorway tolls, the meet-and-greet service, all luggage and 60 minutes of free waiting after landing. A child seat is provided free of charge on request, and the service operates 24/7. Flight tracking is standard, so no extra charge applies even if your arrival is delayed by hours.

Vehicle choice depends on your group size and luggage volume, with private VIP cars and vans available at booking. All drivers speak English, and GET4S is a TÜRSAB-licensed travel agency with licence number 14225. Payment is flexible, either prepaid online or in cash to the driver, and the price never changes after booking.

Bursa, a UNESCO-listed former Ottoman capital, is famous for the Ulu Cami, Yeşil Türbe and the Cumalıkızık village, plus the Uludağ ski resort in winter. Uludağ is about 35 km from Bursa center and is priced separately from your transfer. Your driver takes you directly to any hotel or address in Bursa, including the city center or the slopes area.

A standard taxi from Istanbul Airport to Bursa typically costs more than 143 EUR once bridge tolls and return trips for the driver are added, and the fare can fluctuate with traffic. Public alternatives include the M11 metro toward Gayrettepe or Kağıthane, which requires transfers for Taksim or Sultanahmet, and Havaist buses that take 90-120 minutes in traffic to reach those hubs. A private transfer avoids these hassles, as the fixed 143 EUR price includes tolls, waiting and luggage, with no meter running while you stand in line.
