About this transfer
Landing on the Asian side and planning your Sabiha Gökçen Airport (SAW) to Etiler transfer means crossing over to the European side of Istanbul. We track your flight, wait for you at the terminal exit with a name board, and help with your luggage before heading out.
The drive covers 48 km, usually following Kuzey Marmara Otoyolu. Clear roads make the run 49 minutes, while peak morning traffic pushes the trip closer to an hour. We take you directly to your address, so you avoid navigating unfamiliar connections after a long flight.
Public transit takes a different path across the city. The journey requires taking the M4 metro line to Ünalan, transferring to the 34G bus at Uzunçayır, and catching the 559C bus from Zincirlikuyu Metrobüs to Etiler. With two vehicle changes and carrying bags between platforms, the transit route takes 104 minutes from terminal to stop.
Our private service gives your group the entire vehicle for a fixed rate of €44, which works out to a predictable cost split among everyone travelling together. We drop you straight to the door in Etiler without intermediate stops.
