Airport transfer

Sabiha Gökçen Airport (SAW) to Istanbul Airport (IST) Vito transfer

Getting from Sabiha Gökçen to Istanbul Airport means going from one end of the city to the other. It takes 75–110 minutes in a Vito.

What is the road like?

The vehicle joins the Northern Marmara Motorway at Kurtköy, crosses to the European side over the Yavuz Sultan Selim Bridge and reaches the terminal without leaving the motorway. The road through the city, over the Fatih Sultan Mehmet Bridge, is shorter, but between 07:00 and 10:00 the Europe-bound direction is very busy. That is why drivers mostly choose the northern motorway.

Good to know

This direction is mostly used by passengers who land at Sabiha Gökçen on a low-cost flight and board a long-haul flight at Istanbul Airport. The terminal at Istanbul Airport is large and the walk from the door to the gate can take twenty minutes, so allow for that too. If your first flight is delayed, tell the owner straight away. In a group of four or five, everyone fits into one vehicle with their luggage and there is no need for two taxis.

What does the price include?

Frequently asked questions

How much is a Vito transfer from Sabiha Gökçen Airport (SAW) to Istanbul Airport (IST)?

In September 2026 the average is 4,500 – 6,000 ₺, about 80 – 107 €. 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 Sabiha Gökçen Airport (SAW) to Istanbul Airport (IST) in a Vito?

The road is about 80–100 km and the drive takes 75–110 min. At busy hours, plan for the upper end.

I land at Sabiha Gökçen. Will I make my flight from Istanbul Airport?

With five hours or more in between, generally yes. For an international flight you need to be at the desk at least two hours before departure, and the drive takes an hour and a half. With tighter connections the decision is yours; the owner can only give you an idea of the driving time.

Can we stop in the city centre on the way?

It can be done, but it becomes a different transfer. The northern motorway does not enter the city, so a stop in the centre makes the route and the time noticeably longer. If you have a long layover and want a few hours of sightseeing, discuss the plan separately with the owner.

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.
