Istanbul Airport to Ankara Private Transfer

If your meetings, embassy visit or hotel are in Ankara, a private car from Istanbul Airport takes you there without changing planes or buying separate bus or train tickets. The distance from Istanbul Airport to central Ankara is about 485 km, roughly 5 hours 15 minutes of driving without traffic. A one-way ride in a VIP Mercedes Vito is a fixed 20,000 TL per vehicle (up to 6 passengers).

Price and Duration

RouteDistanceTime (no traffic)VIP Vito, one way
Istanbul Airport to Ankaraabout 485 kmabout 5 h 15 min20,000 TL
Sabiha Gokcen Airport to Ankara——18,000 TL

The price is per vehicle, so a party of six pays roughly 3,330 TL each. The exact amount is shown on the booking screen. If you land at Sabiha Gokcen instead, the same service costs 18,000 TL; just choose Sabiha Gokcen as the pick-up point when booking.

Plan Your Timing

The 5 h 15 min figure is a no-traffic estimate and the real trip takes longer. You leave from the European side of Istanbul, and the Bosphorus crossing can add time at busy hours. On a long ride you may also want a rest stop. If you have a fixed appointment in Ankara, leave a buffer and tell your driver about any stops you need at the start of the trip.

How It Works

  1. Book online. Choose Istanbul Airport as the pick-up and your Ankara address (hotel, office or residence) as the destination, and add your flight number.
  2. Your flight is tracked. If you land late, your driver adjusts to your actual arrival time.
  3. Meet your driver at the terminal exit. After you collect your luggage, the driver takes you to the vehicle and you head straight to Ankara.

Who It Suits

Business travellers with meetings in Ankara, families or small groups of up to six going to the same address, guests arriving with heavy luggage, and anyone who prefers a single door-to-door car over transfers. The Vito carries up to 6 passengers with luggage. For larger groups, a vehicle can be arranged on request, please contact us.

Extras

A meet-and-greet name sign is optional and can be added at booking for 300 TL. A child seat costs 500 TL per seat and is added at booking.
