Overview

Flying into Sabiha Airport shortens the run to Yalova considerably compared with the other Istanbul airport, at about 57.2 km and usually 50 to 60 minutes along the Marmara coast road. Because your flight number is logged with the desk in advance, the Haqqi Tours driver waiting in Sabiha's arrivals hall already knows your landing time, and moves your party straight into whichever vehicle, V-Class or Sprinter, suits the size of your group. Yalova's thermal springs, waterfalls and hillside arboretum make it a popular short escape from Istanbul, easily reached the same afternoon you land at Sabiha. What the whole trip to Yalova costs is put in writing on WhatsApp before departure, and the vehicle carrying you there answers to your booking alone from start to finish.

Good to know

  • Use Sabiha's currency exchange counters near arrivals, as options thin out on the road to Yalova.
  • Confirm your Yalova hotel name clearly, since several properties sit near the same thermal district.
  • Coastal traffic can build in the late afternoon, so an earlier start keeps the drive smooth.
  • Pack a swimsuit in your carry-on if you plan to use the thermal pools soon after arrival.
  • Sunset over the Marmara coast is worth a photo stop if your schedule allows a few minutes.
  • Keep your driver's WhatsApp number saved before you fly for easy contact on landing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where should we look for the driver after landing at Sabiha?
Right past the baggage area, look for the Haqqi Tours name board in the arrivals hall. Because your flight number is already on file, the driver is positioned there whether you land early or late.
Can this transfer run if we land very early in the morning?
Yes, pickups for Yalova operate at any hour, including early morning arrivals. Since the drive is shorter from Sabiha than from the other airport, an early landing still gets you to Yalova in good time for the day.
How much luggage does the car take for a spa stay in Yalova?
Seven travellers and their bags fit the V-Class without difficulty, and for bigger parties packing for a longer stay near the springs, the Sprinter is sent instead once you tell us the group size.
Is a child seat available for the drive to Yalova?
Once we know your children's ages at booking, the right seat is fitted before the driver even sets off for Sabiha, so your family's car is ready the instant you land.
How long is the drive from Sabiha Airport to Yalova?
At roughly 57.2 km, the drive usually takes 50 to 60 minutes, noticeably quicker than departing from Istanbul's other airport. Coastal traffic can add a little time on busy afternoons.
How do we pay for the Sabiha to Yalova transfer?
Yes, the desk works out a single number for your Yalova run and sends it on WhatsApp before departure, then you settle with the driver directly in cash or by card on arrival.
What happens if our flight to Sabiha Airport runs late?
We track your flight throughout, so a delay simply moves your driver's arrival time at the terminal rather than affecting the booking. There is no added charge, and the agreed fare remains unchanged.
Is a short stop possible on the way to Yalova?
The usual plan runs straight through to Yalova, though telling us in advance lets the driver work in a brief pause, useful if you would rather stretch your legs partway.
Will our group share the car with other travellers?
Whichever Mercedes is assigned for the Yalova run, V-Class or Sprinter, it travels the coast road with only your booking aboard, so nobody else's stop or detour is worked into your family's schedule.
Why do guests often choose Yalova as a stop after landing at Sabiha?
Its thermal springs, waterfalls and green hillsides offer a quick change of scenery from the airport, and the shorter distance from Sabiha makes it an easy add-on to the start or end of a Turkey trip.
