Landing in a new country is the moment a trip can either glide or stall. A long-haul flight, an unfamiliar terminal, a taxi queue in a language you don't speak — it's the part of travel most people quietly dread. A meet & greet VIP transfer removes all of it. Here is exactly what happens, from the second your wheels touch the runway to the moment you step out at your hotel.
1. Your chauffeur is waiting before you land
We track your flight in real time. If you're early, your driver is already there. If you're delayed, we simply adjust — there's no penalty and nothing for you to do. As you walk out into the arrivals hall, your chauffeur is standing at the meeting point holding a name-board with your name on it. No searching, no calling, no guesswork.
This is the single biggest difference between a private transfer and a taxi: someone is expecting you, by name, and the entire pickup is already arranged.
2. Help with your luggage, straight to the car
Your driver takes your bags and walks you to the vehicle — parked close, never circling. There's no haggling over a fare and no meter ticking while you load suitcases. For families with children, business travellers with equipment, or anyone arriving after an overnight flight, this hand-off is where a VIP transfer earns its name.
3. A private Mercedes — not a shared shuttle
Every ShuttleVIP ride is private. You choose the tier that fits your group:
- Standard Sedan — a comfortable, air-conditioned car for up to 3 passengers with 2 bags.
- VIP Mercedes Vito / V-Class — a spacious luxury van for up to 6 passengers and 5 bags, with premium leather seats, extra legroom, bottled water and phone charging. It's our most popular option for families and small groups.
The car is clean, the driver is professional and English-speaking, and the cabin is yours alone — no strangers, no extra stops.
4. One fixed price, door to door
You see the full price before you book, and it doesn't change. No surge pricing, no airport surcharge, no "traffic was bad" surprises at the end. Short city transfers start from just €35, and every quote already includes meet & greet, flight tracking and luggage assistance. What you're quoted is what you pay.
Where we meet you
ShuttleVIP operates Turkey-wide, with meet & greet pickups at every major gateway:
- Istanbul Airport (IST) and Sabiha Gökçen (SAW)
- Antalya (AYT), İzmir (ADB), Dalaman (DLM) and Bodrum-Milas (BJV)
- Cappadocia (NAV / ASR) and Trabzon (TZX)
Whether you're heading to a city hotel, a Bosphorus waterfront, or a coastal resort, the experience is the same: a chauffeur with your name, a private Mercedes, and a fixed price.
