What Is the Istanbul Airport Shuttle?
An Istanbul airport shuttle is a private door-to-door transferbetween Istanbul Airport (IST) or Sabiha Gokcen Airport (SAW) and your hotel, Airbnb, or any address in the city. Unlike a shared bus or the metro, a private shuttle takes only your party, departs when you're ready, and drops you directly at your destination.
ShuttleVIP Istanbul operates a private airport transfer service 24/7 across Istanbul. All vehicles are modern, air-conditioned, and driven by professionally licensed chauffeurs. Prices are fixed at booking — the amount you see is the amount you pay.
