How long is the transfer from Istanbul Airport to Sultangazi?

About 34 km and 48 minutes on average without traffic. The road stays on one side of the Bosphorus, so there is no bridge-traffic risk; still allow some margin at rush hour.

Is there a night surcharge?

No. The price does not depend on the time of day: landing after midnight, you still pay 2,300 TRY for the Vito. The driver follows your flight, so a delay changes nothing.

What if I land at Sabiha Gökçen?

From SAW, Sultangazi is about 60 km and 53 minutes, the road crosses the Bosphorus and the Vito costs 3,000 TRY. IST is about 26 km shorter, involves no crossing and costs less, so for Sultangazi it is the more predictable choice.

About Sultangazi

Sultangazi is a largely residential district in the inland north-west of the European side, created in 2008. It borders Gaziosmanpaşa, Eyüpsultan and Başakşehir. The road to the airport stays away from the congested city centre.

The Drive

The calculated route leaves the airport on the North Marmara Motorway (O-7), then follows the old Edirne road (Eski Edirne Asfaltı) and the Habipler–Metris road into Sultangazi. Both the airport and Sultangazi are on the European side, so there is no Bosphorus crossing. 48 minutes is the traffic-free average; in the morning and evening peaks the streets inside the district can add time, but the price stays as booked.

At the Airport

Put your flight number in the booking: the driver tracks your landing and is waiting at the arrivals exit, even if the flight is late, at no extra cost. Enter pickup and drop-off on the homepage to see the fare instantly; no prepayment is needed.
