''' As Atlas Özkan, a senior Meet Transfer operations editor with over 10 years of first hand experience on the roads of Turkey, I can still feel the crisp pre dawn air at Sabiha Gökçen Airport (SAW) and the familiar hum of the arrivals hall at Istanbul Airport (IST). I've driven these routes, dispatched cars in the heart of chaotic Istanbul traffic, and helped countless travelers find their way. The most common friction point I see is the uncertainty of getting a reliable car right when you need it. This is especially true whether you're landing after a long flight or trying to get across town for a spontaneous dinner. I want to share how we've solved this, offering a predictable, premium service that's ready in minutes.

Airport transfer reality in Turkey — routes, terminal exit notes, traffic windows, meet & greet Navigating an airport transfer in Turkey can be your first impression of the country, and I've seen it go both ways. For arrivals at Istanbul Airport (IST), the official taxi line near exit gate 9 can have a queue stretching 30 minutes or more, especially after the wave of European flights lands mid afternoon. At Sabiha Gökçen (SAW), the challenge is often navigating the crush of people and assertive touts in the arrivals hall. These are realities our operations desk deals with daily. This is where our process, refined over a decade, makes a difference. With Meet Transfer, your booking is tied to your flight number. Our AI assisted dispatch monitors your flight status in real time, so if you land early or late, your driver is automatically reschedul...

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know my driver has been assigned and how can I find them?
The moment your car is dispatched, you will receive an instant WhatsApp notification. This message includes your driver's name, their photo, the vehicle model, and the license plate number. For airport pickups, your driver will be waiting at the arrivals gate holding a sign with your name. This system ensures you can easily identify your driver, providing a secure and stress-free start to your transfer.
Can I really book a private car instantly without scheduling hours in advance?
Yes. Our instant intracity service is designed for on-demand requests. We have a fleet of vehicles strategically positioned in key districts across major Turkish cities. When you book through our app or website, our AI-powered dispatch system assigns the closest available driver. In central urban areas, your private car typically arrives in under 20 minutes, making instant private car booking a reality.
What happens if my flight is delayed? Do I need to contact you?
No, you do not need to contact us if your flight is delayed. When you book an airport transfer, we ask for your flight number. Our system uses this to track your flight's status in real-time. We automatically adjust your pickup time to match your actual arrival, whether you land early or late. Your driver will be there when you arrive, ensuring a seamless experience even with flight delays.
How does the live map tracking work for my transfer?
With every booking, you receive a unique link via WhatsApp. Clicking this link opens a live map in your web browser, showing your assigned vehicle's real-time location. You can watch the car as it travels to your pickup point and then monitor your journey's progress all the way to your destination. This live map tracking provides complete transparency and peace of mind from start to finish.
What payment methods do you accept, and is the price fixed?
We accept all major credit cards for secure online payment at the time of booking. The price you see when you book is the final price you pay. All our fares are fixed and transparent, with no hidden fees. Unlike taxis, we have no meters and no surge pricing, regardless of traffic or time of day. This guarantees you know the exact cost of your transfer upfront.
I'm traveling with children. Can you provide a child seat?
Yes, we can provide child seats and baby boosters upon request. During the booking process, you will have the option to add a child seat to your reservation. Please specify the type of seat you require. We recommend booking in advance to guarantee availability, ensuring your children travel safely and in compliance with Turkish law. Providing a child seat is part of our commitment to family-friendly travel.
How much luggage can I bring? What vehicle should I choose?
Your luggage allowance depends on the vehicle. A Mercedes Sedan fits 2 large bags. Our popular Mercedes Vito is ideal for families, accommodating 6 passengers and 6 large suitcases. For larger groups and more luggage (up to 15 bags), the Mercedes Sprinter is the best choice. Always consider both passengers and luggage when selecting your vehicle for a comfortable ride.
What are my options for a large group of 10 people?
For a group of 10 people, the ideal vehicle is one of our Mercedes Sprinters. Our Sprinters can comfortably seat between 7 and 13 passengers, providing ample space for everyone. They also offer significant room for luggage, making them perfect for larger families, tour groups, or corporate outings. Booking a Sprinter ensures your entire group can travel together in a single vehicle.
What if I need to cancel my booking? Is there a refund?
Yes, you can cancel your booking. Our cancellation policy is designed to be fair. We offer a full refund for cancellations made more than 24 hours before the scheduled pickup time. You can manage your booking and cancellations directly through our website or by contacting our 24/7 customer support. The specific terms for your refund will be outlined in your booking confirmation.
Is your service available for late-night arrivals or early-morning departures?
Absolutely. Our services operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including all public holidays. Our 24/7 human dispatch desk and our drivers are always on duty. Whether you have a 3 AM flight arrival at IST or a 5 AM departure from your hotel in Antalya, you can book with confidence, knowing a professional driver and a premium vehicle will be ready for your late-night or early-morning transfer.
