How to get from Istanbul Airport to the city
Private transfer: Your driver meets you according to your flight and takes you straight to your hotel or address. The price is fixed per vehicle with motorway and bridge tolls included. As the airport is 40–55 km from the centre, it is the most comfortable and predictable option with luggage.
Taxi: There is a taxi rank outside the terminal. Fares are metered; because of the long distance, motorway tolls and traffic, you only know the total at the end of the ride.
Airport bus (Havaist): An economical option with lines to many parts of the city. You get off at the bus stop and continue to your hotel by taxi or public transport; journeys can take longer at rush hour.
Metro (M11): The M11 line connects the airport with Gayrettepe. It is cheap, but most hotels need at least one change, which can be tiring with luggage and crowds.
Vehicles and prices (example: city centre)
One-way prices per vehicle. Round trips are discounted; prices may vary at some peak hours — you see the exact price when you search.
