Ankara Airport to Ankara Train Station transfer: the easiest way to get there
The best way to get from Ankara Airport to Ankara Train Station depends on what you are carrying and who you are travelling with, but for almost everyone arriving with luggage, family or after a long flight, a pre-booked private transfer is the answer. Haqqi Tours' Ankara Airport to Ankara Train Station airport transfer is met at arrivals, priced in advance and driven by someone who does this route every week.
This page covers everything travellers ask about the Ankara Airport to Ankara Train Station route: how far it is and how long it takes, whether an airport taxi, public transport or a private transfer is the better choice, what Ankara Train Station in Ankara is like, where to stay and eat, when to travel, where you meet your driver at Ankara Airport, which vehicles we use and how the booking works.
How far is Ankara Train Station from Ankara Airport?
The distance from Ankara Airport to Ankara Train Station is about 33 km by road, and the transfer usually takes around 35-45 minutes. Allow a little extra at peak hours; outside them the drive is relaxed and direct. Because the Ankara Airport to Ankara Train Station transfer price is fixed in advance, a slow drive never costs you more, which is the first difference from an airport taxi on the meter.
Travellers often compare the drive with a bus or train connection; with luggage and a family, door-to-door by private car is almost always faster in total than any combination of public transport.
Arriving at Ankara Airport (ESB)
Ankara Esenboğa Airport (ESB) is about 30 km north-east of Kızılay, with one domestic and one international terminal under the same roof.
A little knowledge of Ankara Airport makes the arrival calmer. Note which terminal or hall your flight uses, keep your phone charged for the WhatsApp thread, and expect the driver to be exactly where the confirmation said - by the arrivals exit with a name board, or at the airport's designated meeting point. From there it is a short walk to the car and the Ankara Airport to Ankara Train Station drive begins.
Searches for "ESB to Ankara Train Station" or "ESB airport transfer" land here for a reason: ESB is the airport code for Ankara Airport, and this is the private-car service that connects it with Ankara Train Station.

Taxi or private transfer from Ankara Airport to Ankara Train Station?
The airport taxi fare from Ankara Airport to Ankara Train Station is unpredictable: meters, night tariffs, tolls and traffic all move it, and you only learn the total at the door. A pre-booked Ankara Airport to Ankara Train Station transfer is the opposite - one fixed cost for the vehicle, however long the drive takes, with the price agreed before your trip.
For one traveller with a small bag, a taxi or public transport can be a fair choice. For two or more people, a family with children, or anyone with real luggage, a private transfer is normally the cheapest way to get from Ankara Airport to Ankara Train Station per person - and by far the easiest. Public transport to Ankara Train Station involves changes, tickets and stairs; a private car goes to the hotel door.
There is also the question of trust. Our drivers know the hotels of Ankara Train Station, work on a fixed price, and never take a detour or add a "special fare" at the end. Your booking is confirmed by a real person on a WhatsApp desk that works in Arabic and English, and that same desk is reachable throughout your trip.
Public transport from Ankara Airport to Ankara Train Station: is there a bus, train or metro?
Esenboğa has an airport bus (Belkoair) to the centre and a metro extension under construction; the bus stops at fixed points in Kızılay and Aşti, and a hotel in Çankaya or Bilkent still needs a taxi from there.
If you are weighing the Ankara Airport to Ankara Train Station options, think about the last kilometre. Trains and buses stop at stations; hotels are somewhere else. With a private transfer the driver takes the route that ends at your door in Ankara, helps with the bags, and the price agreed on WhatsApp does not change if the trains are on strike or the road is slow.

Our vehicles for the Ankara Airport to Ankara Train Station transfer
For this route we offer Minivan (1–7 passengers) and Sprinter (8–13 passengers). The vans are Mercedes, Volkswagen, Ford Transit and Peugeot Traveller models, all recent, air-conditioned and cleaned between journeys, with proper luggage space rather than a crowded boot. Choose the vehicle by how many of you are travelling and how much luggage you bring; the desk will tell you if a larger vehicle would be more comfortable.

As a guide, the sedan suits one to three people with normal suitcases, the minivan or GMC a family or group of up to seven with their luggage, and the Sprinter larger parties of up to thirteen; there is cold water in the car, phone chargers in most models, and no smoking.
Who books the Ankara Airport to Ankara Train Station transfer
Families are our most frequent guests on this route: a private car means the children are strapped into proper seats, the pushchair goes in the back, and nobody is counting change for tickets. Groups of friends and extended families take the Sprinter or a minivan so the whole party travels together from Ankara Airport to Ankara Train Station on one fixed price. Older travellers book it for the door-to-door help with the bags, and couples for a calm start to the trip instead of a taxi queue.
The transfer is the first thing most guests book with us and rarely the last; day trips from Ankara Train Station and the ride back to Ankara Airport are arranged in the same conversation.
Families, groups and business travel from Ankara Airport to Ankara Train Station

Two vehicles are arranged for larger parties, with the drivers coordinating the pickup at Ankara Airport.
Whatever the group, the confirmation you receive lists the vehicle, the fixed price, the pickup time and the meeting point at Ankara Airport - one message you can show anyone who asks.

Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers to what travellers ask us most, before they book.
Where do I meet my driver at Ankara Airport?
It depends on the airport: some have a fixed meeting point inside arrivals, some a specific exit, and at others the driver waits just beyond customs with a sign carrying your name. We send you the exact meeting place, the driver's name and a phone number with your WhatsApp confirmation, so there is nothing to work out when you land at Ankara Airport.
How far is Ankara Train Station from Ankara Airport, and how long does the transfer take?
About 33 km by road, which usually takes around 35-45 minutes. Traffic at rush hour or on holiday weekends can add a little; the price of your Ankara Airport to Ankara Train Station transfer is fixed in advance, so a slower drive never costs more.
Is a private transfer cheaper than an airport taxi from Ankara Airport to Ankara Train Station?
Compare the whole cost, not the starting fare. A taxi from Ankara Airport to Ankara Train Station adds the meter in traffic, a night rate and sometimes tolls; the private transfer is one figure agreed in writing before you fly, whatever the traffic does. For anyone not travelling alone with a small bag, that figure is normally the cheaper one.
What is the best way to get from Ankara Airport to Ankara Train Station?
With luggage, a family or after a long flight, a pre-booked private transfer is the easiest and most comfortable way: door to door, no queue, no changes. Public transport can work for a solo traveller with a small bag, but it means tickets, transfers and stairs; an airport taxi means the meter. A private car takes you straight to your hotel in Ankara Train Station.
Is there a bus, train or metro from Ankara Airport to Ankara Train Station?
Esenboğa has an airport bus (Belkoair) to the centre and a metro extension under construction; the bus stops at fixed points in Kızılay and Aşti, and a hotel in Çankaya or Bilkent still needs a taxi from there. For most visitors the private transfer is simpler: it starts at the arrivals door and ends at the hotel, and the fixed price covers the whole vehicle.
What happens if my flight to Ankara Airport is delayed?
Nothing you need to do. Every Ankara Airport to Ankara Train Station transfer is flight-tracked, so your driver's pickup time moves with your real landing time. If you are held up at baggage or passport control, a quick message on WhatsApp keeps the driver informed. Waiting time is included.

Yes. The Ankara Airport to Ankara Train Station transfer runs around the clock, and our WhatsApp desk is answered day and night. Tell us the flight number and we plan the pickup for the real arrival time, whatever the hour.
Which vehicle will I get for the Ankara Airport to Ankara Train Station transfer?
You choose when you book: Minivan (1–7 passengers) and Sprinter (8–13 passengers). The vans are Mercedes, Volkswagen, Ford Transit and Peugeot Traveller models, air-conditioned and with proper luggage space. If you are unsure, tell us how many passengers and bags you have and we recommend the right one.
Is the transfer private, or shared with other passengers?
Yours alone. No other passengers, no pickup of strangers on the way, no waiting for a shuttle to fill - the Ankara Airport to Ankara Train Station transfer is one vehicle for your group at one fixed price.
Can you provide child seats?
Yes - say the ages of the children when you book and the driver brings the right child seats or boosters at no extra charge. Please mention it in the WhatsApp conversation so the correct vehicle is sent.
How much luggage can I bring?
A normal suitcase and a cabin bag per person is comfortable in every vehicle. If you are bringing more - extra cases, a stroller, sports equipment or a wheelchair - tell us on WhatsApp and we send a vehicle with the space for it.
Are tolls, parking and waiting time included in the price?
Yes. The fixed price for the Ankara Airport to Ankara Train Station transfer covers the vehicle, the driver, fuel, road tolls, airport parking and the normal waiting time after your flight lands. There is nothing to pay the driver on the day unless you have added something to the booking.
Can we stop on the way from Ankara Airport to Ankara Train Station?
Usually, yes - a short stop for a shop, a sim card or a photo is no problem if you mention it when booking, and a longer stop or a sightseeing detour is quoted as part of the same transfer. Tell the desk what you have in mind and they confirm it in writing.
How far in advance should I book the Ankara Airport to Ankara Train Station transfer?
As soon as you have your flight - it takes a minute on WhatsApp and secures the vehicle you want. Same-day and next-day bookings are often possible too; message the desk with the flight number and they will tell you at once whether a car is available.
How do I book the Ankara Airport to Ankara Train Station transfer?
Send us four things - flight number, date, how many of you, and the hotel in Ankara Train Station - through the form on this page or directly on WhatsApp. You get a written confirmation with the fixed price, the vehicle and the meeting point at Ankara Airport, usually within minutes.
How and when do I pay?
The desk agrees the payment method with you in the same WhatsApp conversation once the booking is confirmed; the price you pay is the fixed figure in the confirmation, and there is nothing extra to hand the driver.
Can I change or cancel my booking?
Yes, through the same WhatsApp conversation. The terms depend on conditions such as how close to the pickup time the change is requested, so our team explains exactly what applies to your booking when you ask - always before any payment.
Which language does the driver speak?
It depends on the country, the city and the time of your transfer, so we do not promise a particular language for the driver on the Ankara Airport to Ankara Train Station route. Tell us on WhatsApp which language you would prefer and we do our best to match it. The WhatsApp desk that confirms your booking and stays with you during the trip always works in Arabic and English, at any hour.
Is the transfer suitable for a wheelchair user or someone who walks slowly?
Yes. Tell us when you book and we send a vehicle with room for a folded wheelchair, ask the driver to meet you as close to the arrivals exit as Ankara Airport allows, and build in extra time at both ends. The driver helps with the bags and the door.
Can I book the return trip from Ankara Train Station to Ankara Airport as well?
Yes - the Ankara Train Station to Ankara Airport transfer is booked the same way, in the same WhatsApp conversation, and the driver collects you from the hotel door at the agreed time. If the return flight changes during your stay, one message moves the pickup.
