About this transfer
Arriving on the Asian side and heading toward Maltepe brings you into one of Istanbul's key coastal transit hubs. Booking a Sabiha Gökçen Airport (SAW) to Bostancı İDO Metro İstasyonu transfer means we meet you right outside the arrivals exit, help with your luggage, and drive you directly onto the D-100. The entire journey covers 30 km without stopping along the way.
Traffic on this corridor shifts considerably throughout the day. While the drive takes 26 minutes in the dead of night, evening rush hour extends that same run to around 52 minutes. We monitor your flight schedule continuously, so your driver is in position whenever your plane touches down.
Public transit on this corridor follows the M4 line from Sabiha Gökçen Havalimanı (Airport) to Bostancı, followed by a transfer onto the 10 bus to reach Bostancı İskele. Managing train connections, boarding buses, and navigating stairs with heavy bags quickly adds extra steps. Choosing a private car keeps the route simple, taking you straight to the terminal in one continuous ride.
Our service provides a fixed group fare of €41 for the private vehicle rather than charging individual ticket prices. That makes splitting the journey straightforward for families and small groups traveling together. We take care of the driving so you reach the coast ready for your next connection.
