Airport Transfer Frequently Asked Questions

Airport transfer prices depend on the distance, the vehicle type (economy sedan, minivan, VIP) and the number of passengers, and are shown as a single fixed amount on the booking screen. The price is all-inclusive — fuel, motorway and bridge tolls, airport meet & greet and waiting time are covered, with no surprise surcharges. Enter your pickup and drop-off points to see the exact price for your route instantly.

To reach the city center from the airport you can use the metro, airport shuttle buses (such as Havaist in Istanbul), municipal buses, taxis or a private transfer. For passengers with luggage, families and late-night arrivals, the most comfortable option is a direct, door-to-door private transfer. Your YolcuGo driver waits for you with a name sign and drops you off right at your address. For example, Istanbul Airport is about 40 km (roughly 45 minutes) from the city center.

Airport shuttle buses like Havaist are economical, but they drop you at fixed stops, run on a set timetable and do not reach your hotel, so luggage and connections can be a hassle. A private transfer costs a little more but offers door-to-door service, flight-tracked meet & greet, a vehicle ready 24/7 and a low per-person cost for groups. For crowded, luggage-heavy or night-time trips a private transfer wins; for a solo, short hop a shuttle can make sense.

Yes. In addition to airport transfers, we offer point-to-point city transfers and intercity transfers (for example Antalya to Belek or Side, or Istanbul to Bursa). You can arrange a fixed-price, private chauffeur-driven car between hotels, offices, hospitals, exhibition centers or any address you need.

We recommend booking your transfer at least 24 hours before the service time, so the vehicle and driver can be assigned smoothly. During high season and for night-time transfers, booking earlier gives you an advantage in both availability and price.

Yes. The price shown is all-inclusive: a name-board meet & greet at the airport, free waiting time (90 minutes for international flights, 60 minutes for domestic), standard baggage and fuel/toll fees are all included. Special requests such as a child seat can be added as an extra during booking.

We track your flight by its flight number, so your driver is ready based on your actual landing time — you will not be left stranded whether you land early or late. For airport pickups, free waiting time is 90 minutes for international flights and 60 minutes for domestic, and no extra charge is applied for the delay.
