Is the price per person or per vehicle?

We have oversized luggage/equipment for a trade show. Can you accommodate this?

Yes, but this must be specified during booking. For anything beyond standard suitcases, such as display stands or large equipment boxes, a Mercedes Sprinter is a far better choice than a Vito. Please provide the dimensions and quantity of the items, so we can ensure the correct vehicle is dispatched.

Istanbul Business VIP Transfer | Executive IST & SAW Guide 2026

By Lina Demir | 5/21/2026

''' Navigating Istanbul with an Executive Edge As a local guide for Meet Transfer, I’ve spent years helping business travelers navigate the beautiful chaos of my city. I’ve seen it all: the frantic searches for a reliable taxi, the confusion at the sprawling new Istanbul Airport (IST), and the sinking feeling of being stuck in traffic on the way to a critical meeting. My goal is simple: to help you sidestep the stress and travel like a seasoned local from the moment you land. This isn’t just about getting from A to B; it’s about a seamless, productive, and comfortable start to your business trip in Istanbul. Whether you’re a solo executive, a small team, or a larger corporate group, understanding the landscape of Istanbul’s private transfer services is key. Let’s break down the practicalities for both Istanbul Airport (IST) on the European side and Sabiha Gökçen Airport (SAW) on the Asian side. Your Arrival: IST vs. SAW Airport Logistics Istanbul Airport (IST): The Modern Giant Istanbul Airport is immense and can be overwhelming. After you clear customs and baggage claim, you will exit into a vast arrivals hall. The key is to know where you’re going before you step out. Meeting Point: For pre-booked VIP transfers, your chauffeur will be waiting at a specific numbered meeting point column just outside the exit doors. At Meet Transfer, we track your flight and your driver will be waiting for you holding a sign with your name or company logo. We will inform you of the exact meeting column number in your booking confirmation. It is usually between columns 9 and 13. Avoiding Taxi Scams: The official taxi rank is clearly marked, but you might be approached by unofficial drivers offering rides inside the terminal. Politely decline. These are often scams where the meter will be "broken," or you'll be taken on a much longer route. Stick to pre-booked services for price certainty and quality. Luggage: The walk from the gate to the exit can be long. Luggage trolleys are available, but managing them along with your carry-ons can be a juggling act. With a private transfer, your chauffeur will assist you with your bags from the meeting point directly to the vehicle. Sabiha Gökçen Airport (SAW): Efficient and Compact SAW is smaller and generally easier to navigate than IST. It primarily serves low-cost carriers but also has a significant business travel footprint, especially for those heading to the Asian side of the city or nearby industrial zones. Meeting Point: As you exit baggage claim into the arrivals hall, you'll see a similar setup to IST. Pre-booked drivers will be waiting in the designated area opposite the exit doors, holding a name board. We make sure our communication is crystal clear, so you know exactly where to look. Logistics: The process is more straightforward here. The distance to the curb is shorter, making the transition to your vehicle quicker. However, the taxi rank can get chaotic during peak flight arrivals. Choosing Your Business-Clas...
