Key information about our IST shuttle service
Cashless payment
SIXT’s booking and payment process is easy. Via the website or the app, simply select your ride and book it—you only pay at the end of the trip and there is no cash necessary. SIXT charges the credit card linked to your account only once the ride is complete.

For English-speaking travelers, SIXT is a great way to get to and from Istanbul Airport. Our professional English-speaking drivers are highly trained, so if you have any questions during your ride, your driver will be able to answer them.
Travel beyond city limits
If your destination is outside Istanbul, our airport transfer has you covered. SIXT can get you to many locations further afield, so if you’re looking to explore elsewhere in Turkey, just check our website or the SIXT app for covered service areas.
Your Istanbul hotel
One of our local drivers will get you to your hotel in Istanbul in no time at all. You'll be picked up inside the terminal and dropped off right outside your hotel in the city. At the end of your trip, we can have a driver pick you up in the hotel lobby to get you back to the airport.
Sultanahmet
The district of Sutlanahmet is around 30 miles from the airport, so the trip will typically take around 1-1.5 hours. The Old Town is home to many of Istanbul's historic buildings, including the Hagia Sophia, so even if you are staying elsewhere in the city, it's definitely worth a visit.
Taksim Square
Or maybe you're heading into the European part of Istanbul. You'll find a busy nightlife and great shopping opportunities in Taksim. We can get you there from the airport in around 40 minutes to an hour.
