Most transfers from Istanbul Airport are made in a Mercedes Vito van: roomy, quiet and priced per vehicle. For a business arrival, a couple or a guest you want to impress, there is now a sedan option: a chauffeured Mercedes E-Class or S-Class at a fixed price between the airports and the city centre.
Which sedan is which
Both are black Mercedes saloons with a professional chauffeur. The difference is the rear seat, and that is where you sit.
| Car | Passengers · bags | Rear cabin | Fixed price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mercedes E-Class | 3 · 2 large | Business sedan, leather seats, quiet ride | €150 |
| Mercedes S-Class W223 | 3 · 2 large | Latest S-Class: rear-seat screens, panoramic roof | €295 |
| VIP Vito van (for comparison) | 7 · 7 | Leather seats, room for a family's luggage | from €46.99 |
Prices are per car, not per person, and the same for one or three passengers. A round trip is twice the one-way fare.
When the S-Class is worth it, and when it isn't
Worth it: a business arrival before a meeting, a client or VIP guest you are collecting, an anniversary trip, or simply arriving after a long-haul flight in the quietest back seat on the road. The car is the current S-Class generation, the W223.
Not worth it: four or more people, or more than two large suitcases. A sedan boot is smaller than it looks, and a family with a pram and four cases travels better in a VIP Vito, at a fraction of the price.
Where the fixed price applies
The online price covers three routes: Istanbul Airport (IST) ↔ the central European side (the Old City and Sultanahmet, Taksim and Beyoğlu, Şişli, Beşiktaş and Bakırköy), Istanbul Airport ↔ the central Asian side (Kadıköy, Üsküdar, Ataşehir, Ümraniye and Maltepe), and Sabiha Gökçen (SAW) ↔ the central European side. Enter your address in the booking form; if it falls inside one of these, the sedans show their fixed price next to the vans.
Going somewhere else, or need a car for the day? The sedans are still available: send your trip on WhatsApp and we reply with a price.
