About this transfer

Landing on the European side of the city and heading west towards Avcılar brings you along the outer ring road network of Istanbul. Our private Istanbul Airport (IST) to Avcılar transfer picks you up directly at the terminal exit and takes you straight to your destination. The drive covers 54 kilometres via the Kuzey Marmara Otoyolu, bypassing the inner city routes entirely.

Under clear conditions, our driver reaches the district in about 51 minutes, although evening peak traffic can extend that travel time to 74 minutes. We track your incoming flight schedule automatically, assist with luggage, and meet you inside the terminal with a personal name board. Our fixed rate starts at €49 for the private vehicle, which covers the entire travelling group rather than charging individual ticket fares.

Public transit on this route requires boarding the M11 subway and making two separate bus transfers before reaching the residential centre. Handling luggage across multiple vehicles and connections turns public transport into a lengthy suburban journey. The HVL - 2 airport shuttle operates along the corridor as well, though it only stops at Avcılar Cami rather than dropping your party at the door.

Families and travel groups carrying heavy bags often find that reserving a dedicated vehicle simplifies their arrival across Istanbul. You walk directly to your vehicle without waiting for fixed timetables or wheeling suitcases between different transit platforms. Our driver manages the route and luggage so you can finish the trip smoothly without making intermediate stops along the way.
