Sabiha Gokcen airport transfer and taxi
Reliable Transfers from Sabiha Gokcen Airport
Instant booking 
Flying into Istanbul for the first time, any traveller would dream of the legendary Hagia Sophia. Little do they know that their trip from the Sabiha Gokcen International Airport to a destination of their choice within Turkey’s largest city is going to be just as dreamy as the city itself, all thanks to Sabiha Gokcen Airport Transfer Services that have on offer a range of airport taxis. This is especially important for travellers coming to a new country as they often end up paying more than what is required for a sub-par transportation experience, especially airport transfers.
Istanbul offers a range of taxi services and types to choose from depending on your needs and means. Irrespective of their type, these taxis charge by the meter. The price starts at 5 Turkish Lira and then 3.1 Turkish Lira per kilometre. Additionally, for every five minutes’ wait, the price of 0.45 Turkish Lira is added. Toll taxes and tunnel fees are additional and depend upon the route and destination. The mode of payment is usually cash, with very few operators allowing online or card payments.
While Istanbul airport taxis may appear cheaper than most destinations in the world, they are riddled with various hassles such as overcharging despite settling on a fare before the ride, faulty meters, deliberately taking longer routes or congested routes, to unexpected breakdowns and refusal of service, rude drivers who may not accommodate your requests for sight-seeing en-route, et al. Owing to some such notorious incidents, Istanbul taxis have earned themselves a bad name. And while measures have begun to be put in place to correct such vices, it can be one of the points that throw-off travellers. This is exactly where Fat Taxi swoops in to save the day!
