How does the Istanbul Airport to Sabiha Gokcen transfer work?
Your driver waits at the international arrivals exit of Istanbul Airport (IST) holding a name sign, directly in front of the exit doors on the arrivals level. After you clear customs, you simply walk to the sign and the driver assists with your luggage and leads you to the private vehicle.
For this 96.5 km inter-airport route, the driver tracks your inbound flight in real time. If your flight is late, the meeting time shifts automatically and you are not charged any waiting fee beyond the included 60 minutes of free wait time after landing. The service operates 24/7, and the same fixed price applies whether you book online in advance or pay cash to the driver.
How long does the IST to SAW journey take and when is traffic heaviest?
The drive from Istanbul Airport (IST) to Sabiha Gokcen Airport (SAW) takes about 76 minutes in average, traffic-free conditions, covering 96.5 km via the Northern Marmara Motorway and the Yavuz Sultan Selim Bridge. The motorway and bridge tolls are already included in the fixed price.
Istanbul traffic is densest on weekdays between 07:30-10:00 and 17:00-20:30, when you should add 20-40 minutes to the estimated journey time. For connecting flights between the two airports, it is recommended to allow at least 4 hours, because your driver tracks your landing time but cannot control congestion on the road.
What is included in the price and which vehicle types are available?
The starting price of 95 EUR per car includes the 96.5 km journey, all motorway and bridge tolls, the meet-and-greet with a name sign, luggage handling, and 60 minutes of free waiting time after your flight lands. There are no hidden surcharges for airport fees or traffic delays.
You can pay online by card in advance or in cash to the driver in EUR, USD, GBP, or Turkish Lira. A baby seat is provided free of charge on request, and reservations can be cancelled free of charge up to 24 hours before the scheduled pickup. The vehicle type is selected at booking based on passenger count and luggage volume, and all drivers speak English as part of the TÜRSAB-licensed service.
What should I know about the airports and alternative transport options?
Istanbul Airport (IST) is located on the European side in the Arnavutköy district, about 40-55 km from the city center, while Sabiha Gokcen Airport (SAW) sits on the Asian side. This transfer route is sold in both directions, so booking a transfer departing from Sabiha Gokcen to Istanbul Airport costs the same, and you simply select the pickup airport during reservation.
For public transport alternatives, the M11 metro from IST goes toward Gayrettepe and Kağıthane and requires transfers to reach Taksim or Sultanahmet, while Havaist buses to Taksim and Sultanahmet take 90-120 minutes depending on traffic. A direct private transfer is considerably faster and more reliable for this cross-continental airport connection, since no metro line connects the two airports directly.
