How do I track my assigned driver?

The moment a driver is assigned to your ride, you will receive an instant WhatsApp notification. This message includes a link to a live map where you can see your driver's vehicle moving towards your pickup location in real-time. This feature is available for both pre-booked airport transfers and on-demand intracity rides, providing complete transparency and peace of mind about your driver's location. This allows you to accurately know your driver's ETA.

What information will I get about my driver?

Your security and trust are our priority. As soon as your car is dispatched, you will receive a WhatsApp message containing your driver's full name, a recent photo, their phone number, and the vehicle's license plate number. This ensures you know exactly who you are meeting and can easily identify your car. This instant driver-assignment notification is a key part of our safety protocol.

Can I really book a private car instantly in the city?

Yes. Our on-demand service allows you to book an instant private car anywhere in major Turkish cities. We have a fleet of vehicles staged across all districts, so when you make a booking, our AI-powered dispatch system assigns the nearest driver. The average pickup time is between 8 and 15 minutes, making it as convenient as hailing a taxi but with the benefits of a professional, fixed-price service. This is how you can book an instant intracity car.

What payment methods do you accept?

We offer a streamlined and secure payment process. You can pay for your ride using a credit card or debit card through our online booking form. The full, fixed price is quoted upfront before you confirm your booking, so there are no hidden fees or surge charges. We do not accept cash payments to ensure a transparent and hassle-free transaction for both you and our drivers. These are the payment methods we accept.

Do you provide child seats?

Yes, we prioritize the safety of our youngest passengers. You can request a child seat or a baby booster seat during the booking process. Please specify the age of your child so we can provide the appropriate seat. Our professional drivers are trained to install them correctly in our vehicles. We ensure all our child seats meet safety regulations for your peace of mind during the journey.

What if my flight is delayed?

You do not need to worry if your flight is delayed. Our operations desk monitors your flight status in real-time. We automatically adjust your pickup time to match your actual arrival time, whether you are early or late. Your driver will be there to meet you when you land, at no extra cost. This service is part of our commitment to providing a stress-free airport transfer experience after a flight delay.

How do you handle late-night arrivals?

Our services operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including all public holidays. Our dispatch desk and drivers are accustomed to handling late-night arrivals and departures. A driver will be waiting for you regardless of how late you arrive, and our fixed-price guarantee means you won't pay extra for a late-night pickup. You can travel with confidence, knowing a safe ride is secured for your late-night arrival.

What if my group has a lot of luggage?

Choosing the right vehicle for your group and luggage is essential. Our Mercedes Vito is suitable for up to 6 guests with about 6-8 suitcases. If you have more luggage or bulky items like skis or golf bags, we strongly recommend booking a Mercedes Sprinter, which has a much larger capacity for both passengers and bags. Specifying your luggage amount during booking helps us ensure the right vehicle is sent for your needs.

What is your cancellation or refund policy?

We offer a flexible cancellation policy for our customers. You can cancel your booking for a full refund up to 24 hours before your scheduled pickup time. For cancellations made within 24 hours of the pickup time, a cancellation fee may apply. You can manage your booking and cancellations easily through our online portal or by contacting our 24/7 customer support team for assistance with the refund policy.

Your Guide to Private Airport & City Transfers in Turkey

Best Terrace Restaurants in Istanbul: Bosphorus-View Dining Spots

By Meet Transfer | 7/11/2026

I still remember the scent of the sea mixed with roasted chestnuts on my first late night dispatch run to Istanbul Airport (IST). For over a decade, I’ve been on the front lines of getting travelers to their destinations across Turkey, first as a driver and now as a senior operations editor for Meet Transfer. I’ve seen the relief on a family's face when their pre booked Sprinter arrives after a long flight, and I’ve coordinated countless instant pickups for business travelers needing to get across Istanbul for a last minute meeting. TL;DR / Quick Answer Airport Transfers: You can pre book a fixed price private transfer from any Turkey airport, including Istanbul (IST, SAW), Antalya (AYT), and Bodrum (BJV). Your driver meets you at the arrivals gate with a name sign. Instant City Cars: Meet Transfer offers an on demand private car service within Turkish cities. You can book a car with one tap and have a Mercedes Vito or Sedan at your location within minutes, 24/7. Seamless Booking: All bookings are made through a simple online flow. You receive instant WhatsApp notifications with your driver's details and can track their arrival on a live map.

Average Instant Dispatch Time (In City): 8 15 minutes. Airport Transfer Reality in Turkey Navigating a Turkish airport for the first time can be overwhelming. As an operations editor, I can tell you that the single biggest point of confusion for new arrivals is finding their ride. At Istanbul Airport (IST), for instance, international arrivals exit through multiple gates, often between Gate 9 and Gate 14. Our standard operating procedure for a Meet & Greet is for the driver to be waiting right outside your customs exit, holding a sign with your name. You don’t have to search for a specific pillar or meeting point; we find you. I have driven the route from IST to the city center hundreds of times. A clear run on the D 020 highway can take as little as 50 minutes. However, during peak traffic windows, from 7:00 AM to 10:00 AM and 4:00 PM to 8:00 PM on weekdays, that same 50 km journey can easily stretch to two hours. This is why our AI assisted dispatch system is so critical. It analyzes real time traffic data from the municipality to provide you with an accurate ETA the moment you book. We also track your flight live, so if you land early or are delayed, we a...
