How far is Başakşehir from Istanbul Airport?

About 32 km, or roughly 45 minutes on average. There is no bridge or tunnel on the way, so the time does not depend on Bosphorus traffic, although rush hour can still add to it.

What if I land at Sabiha Gökçen instead?

From SAW it is about 62 km and 59 minutes on average, and the route has to cross the Bosphorus. That is nearly twice the distance of the IST run, and the VIP Vito fare is 3,000 TRY instead of 2,500 TRY, so for Başakşehir IST is the more practical airport if you can choose.

Do you drive right up to a housing complex?

We take you to the address you give. Write the complex name, block and gate number in the booking and the driver goes straight there.

About Başakşehir

Başakşehir is a residential district on Istanbul's European side, next to Küçükçekmece, Esenyurt and Arnavutköy, and is known for its planned housing estates. Neighbourhoods such as Bahçeşehir and Kayaşehir are part of it, and many addresses sit inside a complex, so adding the block and gate number to your booking saves time.

Road and Timing

Both the airport and Başakşehir are in Europe, so there is no Bosphorus crossing and the whole trip stays on one side of the city. The 45 minutes is a no-traffic average and can stretch at rush hour, but the price does not change.

Meeting You and Booking

Add your flight number when you book and the driver follows your landing, then waits for you at the terminal exit; a delayed flight costs nothing extra. Enter your pickup and drop-off on the homepage and the fare appears at once, with no prepayment.
