About this transfer

Landing at the terminal and making your journey across to the Asian side means heading toward the coastal edge of Maltepe. Arranging your Istanbul Airport (IST) to Bostancı İDO Metro İstasyonu transfer with us means our driver meets you right at the arrivals exit with a personal name board and assists with your luggage. The route covers 65 kilometres across the city via the O-2 highway.

Under clear road conditions, driving directly takes around 62 minutes, though evening peak hours can extend the journey to 89 minutes. We track your flight in real time so our team adjusts immediately to any unexpected delays before takeoff or in the air. Complementary waiting time is provided at the airport so you can collect your bags without rushing.

Traveling by public transport along this route requires taking the M11 subway before transferring onto two separate city buses to reach the terminal. Hauling heavy luggage through interchanges and walking between stops adds significant travel time compared to a private car. With our private service, your group travels together in a dedicated vehicle without switching routes along the way.

The fixed rate starts at €58 for the private vehicle, dividing conveniently among everyone in your party rather than paying separate fares per person. The destination area serves as a major transport hub, connecting directly to the Marmaray railway alongside the M4 and M8 metro networks. We drop you off straight to the station doors so you can continue your journey without delay.
