Istanbul Airport (IST) to Bursa Vito transfer
Istanbul Airport to Bursa takes two and a half to three hours in a Vito. The distance is around 190 kilometres.
What is the road like?
The road runs down the Northern Marmara Motorway to Gebze, crosses the gulf over the Osmangazi Bridge and reaches Bursa on the Istanbul–İzmir Motorway. As there is no need to drive round the gulf or wait for a ferry, the trip is much shorter than it used to be. Inside Bursa, allow up to half an hour more depending on where you are going.
Good to know
If you are going up to Uludağ, be sure to say so: in winter, chains and winter tyres are needed and the price changes. Bridge and motorway tolls are a significant item on this route, so confirm with the owner whether they are included. For a same-day return, waiting time is agreed separately.
What does the price include?
Prices shown are one-way and per vehicle; bridge and motorway tolls and up to 60 minutes of waiting at the airport are usually included. What is included, extra stops, night rates and peak-season surcharges are agreed with the listing owner.
The prices on this page are market averages. Each vehicle owner sets their own price; you see the final price and availability in the reply to your request.
Frequently asked questions
How much is a Vito transfer from Istanbul Airport (IST) to Bursa?
In September 2026 the average is 8,000 – 10,500 ₺, about 143 – 188 €. The price is one way and per vehicle, not per person. The vehicle owner who replies to your request confirms the exact amount.
How long does it take from Istanbul Airport (IST) to Bursa in a Vito?
The road is about 190–200 km and the drive takes 2.5 – 3 h. At busy hours, plan for the upper end.
Do we cross the gulf by ferry?
No. The Osmangazi Bridge, opened in 2016, crosses the gulf in a few minutes, so there is no waiting for a ferry. The bridge toll is high, so confirm whether it is included in the price.
Can the vehicle go straight up to a hotel on Uludağ?
It can, but in winter chains and winter tyres are a must. After central Bursa the road climbs for about 30 kilometres, which adds close to an hour. Not every owner will go up Uludağ in winter, so be sure to mention it in your request.
Will the vehicle wait if my flight is delayed?
Put your flight number in the request and the owner tracks the landing from there. Up to 60 minutes of waiting at the airport is usually included in the average prices. For longer delays, agree with the owner beforehand what happens.
