Sabiha Gökçen Airport (SAW) to Taksim Vito transfer
Sabiha Gökçen is on the Asian side and Taksim on the European side. The distance is about 45 kilometres, and what decides the travel time is the bridge.
What is the road like?
Drivers come in on the TEM or the E-5, usually cross the 15 July Martyrs Bridge and go up to Taksim through Beşiktaş. If the bridge is jammed, the Eurasia Tunnel or the Fatih Sultan Mehmet Bridge comes into play. On a normal day it takes 55 minutes, on a bad day close to an hour and a half.
Good to know
Between 07:00 and 10:00 traffic flows from Asia towards Europe and the bridge approach slows down. Keep that in mind if you land in the morning and are heading to Taksim. On the way back it is the other way round: for an evening flight you need to leave the hotel early, and the owner will suggest a time.
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.

In September 2026 the average is 3,300 – 4,400 ₺, about 59 – 79 €. 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 Taksim in a Vito?
The road is about 45–50 km and the drive takes 55–85 min. At busy hours, plan for the upper end.
Can I send a request for a flight landing after midnight?
Yes. Many flights land at Sabiha Gökçen at night, the road is empty at that hour and Taksim is 45–50 minutes away. Some owners apply a night rate, so put your landing time in the request.
When does a Vito make more sense than the airport bus?
If you are travelling alone with little luggage, the airport bus to Taksim is cheaper. The bus leaves you at the square and getting to the hotel is up to you. From three or four people upwards, or with children and a lot of luggage, going door to door is easier.
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.
