Overview

The route from Sabiha Airport to Atasehir is one of the shorter drives we operate, around 27 kilometres and usually 25 to 35 minutes door to door, since both points sit on the Asian side. Atasehir is Istanbul's newer business district, with the Istanbul Financial Center and shopping centres such as Watergarden close to most of the addresses we deliver to. The short hop suits travellers heading to a same-day meeting, a weekend at Metropol Istanbul, or an event at Ulker Sports Arena. Your driver watches the flight boards and stands at the arrivals hall with your name clearly displayed, so there is no searching for a taxi rank. Since both points sit on Istanbul's Asian side, the Mercedes V-Class or Sprinter sent for this hop is kept for your party alone rather than shared across a longer round.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which exit at Sabiha Airport should I look for my driver?
Since the run to Ataşehir is one of our shorter Asian-side transfers, the driver waits close to the exit doors right after baggage claim, name board raised, rather than further back in the hall.
Is the fare higher for an early-morning landing?
No, the agreed price already covers any landing time, so an early-morning or late-night arrival at Sabiha Airport costs the same as a midday one, with nothing added for the hour.
Is there room for golf clubs or oversized luggage?
Both the V-Class and Sprinter have space for bulky items, so let us know in advance if you are travelling with oversized bags, and the right vehicle will be sent for your group.
Can you provide two child seats for one booking?
Yes, mention the number and ages of children on WhatsApp when you confirm, and the seats will be ready in the car before you land, fitted and checked in advance.
Since Atasehir is close to Sabiha, is the ride really only half an hour?
Traffic varies, but the short distance keeps most trips within the 25 to 35 minute range quoted for this route, even during busier travel periods of the day.
Do you accept card payment on arrival?
Since the Ataşehir hop is brief, most guests settle by card once at the destination; cash works equally well, and either way the amount matches what was written to you beforehand.
What if my connecting flight into Sabiha runs late?
The driver follows your flight number automatically, so a late connection simply moves the pickup back with no extra charge added to the fare you already agreed on WhatsApp.
Can the driver drop a second passenger at a different Atasehir address?
Colleagues heading to separate towers or hotels within the district can often be dropped at two addresses on the same run, provided you flag the second stop when booking.
Is Watergarden mall a short walk from most hotels in the area?
It depends on the property, though several Atasehir hotels are within easy reach of Watergarden and the surrounding towers, so it is worth asking your hotel directly.
How far ahead should I book a transfer from Sabiha to Atasehir?
For a route this short, a day or two's notice usually secures the car, though messaging WhatsApp earlier locks in your preferred pickup time around a weekend or holiday rush.
