Overview

Pendik sits right beside Sabiha Gökçen Airport, so this transfer is one of the shortest we run, about 12 kilometres covered in roughly 15 to 20 minutes with no bridge and almost no city traffic to contend with. A driver is holding your name at arrivals, having tracked your flight from take-off, and the Mercedes V-Class or Sprinter is parked close by for a quick load and go. It is a practical choice for anyone spending a night near the marina before an early flight, or a family wanting to reach a hotel bed as fast as possible after a long journey. Since the fare is locked in over WhatsApp long before you land, there is no price conversation waiting for you at the kerb.
