About this transfer

Landing on the Asian side when your destination lies in Halkalı on the European side means crossing the full breadth of Istanbul. Arranging your Sabiha Gökçen Airport (SAW) to Halkalı transfer in advance ensures our driver is waiting for you as soon as you exit baggage claim. We track your flight, welcome you with a personalised name board, and assist with all your luggage.

The drive covers 74 km, usually following the Kuzey Marmara Otoyolu around the northern edge of the metropolitan area. Under typical daytime traffic conditions, this direct route takes around 63 minutes from the terminal curb to your destination. Riding with our transfer service takes you straight to the address without detours, unnecessary delays, or intermediate stops along the motorway.

Public transport requires taking the M4 metro line to Ayrılık Çeşmesi, boarding the Marmaray rail line to Mustafa Kemal, and finally transferring onto the BN1 bus. That journey takes roughly 131 minutes of travel time and involves two line changes alongside substantial walking between platforms. Managing heavy suitcases across three separate transit services adds considerable effort to an already lengthy journey across the city.

Our vehicle is priced at a fixed €65 for the entire group instead of charging individual fares for every passenger. We handle every detail of the long cross-city drive so you can cross between continents smoothly from pickup to final drop-off. You reach your accommodation directly without needing to coordinate timetables, navigate local ticket machines, or haul luggage through multiple transfer hubs.
