About this transfer

If your hotel or rental is located in Bostancı on the Asian side, booking our Istanbul Airport (IST) to Bostancı transfer lets you travel across the city without navigating unfamiliar public transit lines. We monitor your flight schedule in real time, provide free waiting time, and meet you right at the arrivals gate holding a personalised name board. The route covers 65 km along the O-2 motorway.

A direct run takes around 61 minutes in standard traffic, though travelling during peak evening rush hours will naturally add time along the main road corridors. Our driver assists with all your heavy suitcases at the vehicle and drives directly to the southern coastline. You receive door-to-door transport without sharing the cabin with strangers or making unwanted intermediate stops along the way.

Reaching this coastal district by public transit requires boarding the M11 metro line to Gayrettepe, followed by two separate buses to Bostancı Köprüsü and Bostancı İskele. That multi-step journey takes roughly 103 minutes and involves walking between transfer points while carrying your luggage. We eliminate the physical effort of changing vehicles by driving you straight across to your destination.

Our private transfer operates on a single fixed price of €58 for the vehicle rather than charging individual ticket fares for each member of your travelling party. Up to seven passengers can ride together in comfort with ample space reserved for five large suitcases. We handle the entire journey from the terminal exit so you arrive safely at your Bostancı address.
