Sabiha Gökçen Airport – Arnavutköy VIP Transfer

From Sabiha Gökçen Airport (SAW) to Arnavutköy it is about 73 km, with an average traffic-free drive of 63 minutes. The trip runs from an airport on the Asian side to the far north-west of the European side; the fixed price is 3,000 TRY in a VIP Mercedes Vito and 4,500 TRY in the 14-seat Mercedes Sprinter.

Arriving in Arnavutköy

Arnavutköy is the large north-western district of the European side that Istanbul Airport itself belongs to. The distance and price here are for the district centre; if you are staying in a neighbourhood far from it, enter the address on the homepage to see the exact fare.

Crossing on the FSM Bridge

SAW is on the Asian side, so the Bosphorus has to be crossed. The calculated route takes the D100 to Kozyatağı, joins the 2nd Ring Road (O-2), crosses on the Fatih Sultan Mehmet Bridge, picks up the North Marmara Motorway at the Hasdal junction and reaches the Arnavutköy centre via Habipler and the old Edirne road. 63 minutes is a traffic-free figure; approaching the bridge, morning and evening congestion can stretch it noticeably. Traffic never adds to the price.

Pickup

Put your flight number in the booking; the driver follows your landing at Sabiha Gökçen and is ready at the arrivals exit. If the plane is late there is no waiting charge. As this is a long ride, a group or a lot of luggage may suit the Sprinter better; the amount appears on the homepage once you enter the addresses.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Why does Sabiha Gökçen to Arnavutköy take so long? Because the road runs from the Asian side across the Bosphorus to the north-west of the city: about 73 km and 63 minutes without traffic. Leave extra margin at bridge rush hours.
  • Does the price rise if we get stuck on the bridge? No. 3,000 TRY for the Vito and 4,500 TRY for the Sprinter are fixed at booking; time on the road does not affect the amount.
  • Is Istanbul Airport closer to Arnavutköy? Yes. IST is inside the district: about 20 km to the centre, no Bosphorus crossing, and the Vito costs 2,500 TRY. If you can choose your flight, IST is both much shorter and cheaper for Arnavutköy.
