Need to Know
Pick-up and drop-off are available between Istanbul Airport and most central Istanbul hotels; confirm your exact address and transfer direction when booking: Istanbul Airport transfer services typically cover the main tourist and business districts in central Istanbul, including popular hotel areas on both the European and Asian sides. To ensure smooth service, you must provide your exact hotel name and address, as well as specify whether you need a pick‑up to the airport or a drop‑off from the airport when you make your booking.
Transfers operate 24/7, but nighttime or holiday services may have different rates or limited availability; check your voucher for any surcharges: Airport transfers generally run around the clock to accommodate early-morning and late-night flights. However, services during night hours, public holidays, or special events may incur extra fees or operate with fewer vehicles, so always review your booking confirmation or voucher for any applicable surcharges or schedule notes in advance.
Meeting points at Istanbul Airport are usually in the arrivals hall after customs; look for your driver or representative holding a sign with your name or company logo: After you pass through passport control and collect your luggage, your driver or representative will usually wait in the public arrivals area just outside customs. To help you identify them easily in the crowd, they typically hold a sign displaying your name or the name/logo of the transfer company you booked with.
Provide your flight number and arrival or departure time so the operator can track delays and adjust the pick-up time accordingly: Sharing your exact flight details allows the transfer company to monitor real-time flight information and adapt your pick‑up schedule if your plane arrives earlier or later than planned. This helps reduce waiting times and ensures that your driver is ready at the correct time, even in case of delays or gate changes.
Vehicle type (sedan, minivan, minibus) is assigned based on the number of passengers and luggage; verify luggage limits if you have oversized or extra bags: The operator will choose a suitable vehicle size according to how many people are traveling together and how many standard-sized bags you are bringing. If you have extra luggage, sports equipment, strollers, or very large suitcases, it is important to confirm luggage capacity in advance so they can allocate an appropriate vehicle or advise of any additional charges.
Most transfers are non-smoking and do not include food or drinks; tipping the driver is optional but appreciated if you are satisfied with the service: Vehicles used for Istanbul Airport transfers are usually strictly non‑smoking to maintain cleanliness and comfort for all passengers. While refreshments are not typically provided, you are free to tip your driver at the end of the journey as a gesture of appreciation if you feel the service was safe, courteous, and punctual.
