Choose the vehicle from the complete luggage list, not seats alone. A stroller, wheelchair or oversized bags may require the larger category. See the private fleet before requesting the quote.
Planning the Asian-to-European crossing
Sabiha Gökçen Airport is on Istanbul’s Asian side and Taksim is on the European side. The route crosses the Bosphorus, so traffic, bridge conditions and the exact hotel address affect the journey. A private transfer provides a confirmed route and vehicle; it does not remove traffic or guarantee an exact arrival minute.
Send the complete hotel address rather than only “Taksim”. Access around Taksim Square, İstiklal Avenue and nearby streets can differ by hotel.
What is included in the VIP service?
- Private vehicle: your party travels together without shared passengers.
- Fixed agreed price: €60 Vito or €85 Sprinter for the stated SAW-to-Taksim route.
- Road charges and VAT: applicable tolls are included.
- Meet & Greet: follow the confirmed meeting instructions after baggage collection.
- Flight monitoring: confirmed airport pickups are monitored using the flight details supplied.
- Waiting: up to 60 minutes of complimentary waiting after the recorded landing time.
VIP transfer, taxi or public transport?
A taxi may suit a solo traveller with light luggage, but the final fare depends on the meter, route and traffic. Public transport can cost less but usually requires changes and a separate connection from the final stop to the hotel.
A pre-booked VIP transfer is the practical choice when you want the vehicle, meeting process and total price arranged before landing. For other SAW routes, see the Sabiha Gökçen transfer service and the SAW transfer guide.
