Taksim → Edirne City Centre (Selimiye) Transfer

Your Taksim Edirne transfer starts with a door pickup: the driver meets you at your hotel entrance in Taksim at the time you choose. You only need to provide your hotel name in the booking, and the driver will be there waiting. For airport pickups, the driver tracks your flight and waits up to 60 minutes after landing at no extra charge. If your flight is delayed, the pickup time shifts automatically with no additional fee.

The driver will hold a name sign if you are arriving at an airport, but for Taksim hotel pickups, you will receive the driver's details in advance. GET4S operates 7/24 private VIP transfers with English-speaking drivers, and the service includes flight tracking for airport arrivals. You can book online or pay the driver in cash (EUR, USD, GBP or TL).

The distance from Taksim to Edirne City Centre is 247.2 km, and the estimated travel time is 163 minutes without traffic. The route follows the O-3 European Motorway (TEM), and all tolls are included in the fixed price. The driver can take a break at a rest stop if you request it, but break times are not included in the estimated duration.

Istanbul traffic is heaviest on weekdays between 07:30-10:00 and 17:00-20:30, and peak hours can add 20-40 minutes to the journey. An early morning departure from Taksim helps you avoid the worst of the weekday traffic. The estimated 163 minutes is an average without traffic, so plan accordingly if you travel during peak times.

The fixed price of 296 EUR per vehicle includes motorway tolls, bridge and transit fees, luggage, and the driver's waiting time. This price is per vehicle, not per person. The base class is a 6-seat Mercedes Vito, and for groups of 7-16 people, a Sprinter minibus is selected. The price is fixed, so you will not pay extra for tolls or luggage.

Payment can be made online by card in advance or in cash to the driver in EUR, USD, GBP or TL. Free cancellation is available up to 24 hours before your reservation. A 20% night tariff applies for pickups between 22:00 and 06:00, and a 5% discount is offered for round-trip bookings. Child seats are available free of charge upon request.

Edirne City Centre, home to the UNESCO World Heritage Site Selimiye Mosque, is the western gateway of Turkey on the borders with Bulgaria and Greece. The Selimiye Mosque, built by Mimar Sinan between 1568 and 1575, is located in the city centre, along with the Old Mosque, Üç Şerefeli Mosque, the Covered Bazaar and the Meriç bridges. Hotels are concentrated around Selimiye and along the Karaağaç road. The Kapıkule Border Gate, one of Europe's busiest land border crossings, is west of Edirne, and the Pazarkule Border Gate to Greece is about 7 km from the centre in Karaağaç. GET4S vehicles do not cross the border; if you need to be dropped off at the Turkish side of a border gate, note it in your reservation.

As an alternative to a private transfer, you could take a taxi or public transport, but a taxi from Taksim to Edirne would likely be more expensive and less comfortable, with no fixed price. Public buses are cheaper but slower and less direct. GET4S offers a private VIP transfer with a fixed price, flight tracking, and door-to-door service. For a day trip, the driver can wait at your destination and bring you back the same day; waiting time and return are added as a separate leg (round trip) with a discount.
