Traveler reviews
27 verified traveler reviews for Istanbul Airport Transfers IST & SAW – Private Transfers. Ratings and reviews provided by Viator and Tripadvisor.
Do not use. Horrible.
Horrible. System they have is overly complicated, disorganized and takes too long and that is just the start it got worse. No air conditioning, the van interior was worn out, no working seat belts, and no water offered. Worse was that we herd the driver talking to someone and realized he was driving and video chatting. When we told him to stop and just drive he put the divider up and kept talking. He also stopped at a gas station to use the bathroom. Tip advisor should not allow them to be part of their driver options.

Terrible service, 12 seats booked but got what was “available “
“Very bad customer service. I booked the business 12 seats ride from the airport to the hotel! After waiting for a long time, they sent what is available which is nothing compared to what I booked “I don’t recommend this company ! I reached out to them via whatsApp two times requesting refund and they didn’t respond!

Avoid for any airport transfer
Avoid this company for an airport transfer. No baby seat provided (though ordered for a 1 year old). Driver simply said ‘get on or get off’. Went somewhere else enroute to pick something off and then tried to drop us off somewhere else - easier for him. Avoid

Scammers and fraudsters
Scam of an airport transfer! Showed up 1 hour 40 minutes after my flight after leading me and my family to a dark and cold car park to wait with roughly 50 other tourists. When people questioned it they got rude and aggressive responses if they were a women. Men were treated with respect. I complained at the time through trip.com and 1 minute after my complaint I was miraculously moved to the front of the queue and to my hotel. The drive was friendly and great! Since then I have furthered my complaint to trip.com. The company has claimed to of waited for me with a sign (did not happen) and that the trip proceeded normally without delay. If 1hour 40 minutes is normal I question their career choices! Trip.com also said that they deny disrespecting customers and that this is "subjective". However as other reviews from the same airport say the same thing it's clearly not a one off and more of a pattern of behaviour.

Why this scores 43
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Istanbul Airport Transfers IST & SAW – Private Transfers: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Istanbul.
How much does Istanbul Airport Transfers IST & SAW – Private Transfers cost?
+
Prices start at $47 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Istanbul usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Istanbul Airport Transfers IST & SAW – Private Transfers take?
+
Plan for about 1 hour from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Istanbul is not rushed.
Is Istanbul Airport Transfers IST & SAW – Private Transfers worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 43 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.7/5 across 27 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Istanbul, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Istanbul Airport Transfers IST & SAW – Private Transfers?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Istanbul Airport Transfers IST & SAW – Private Transfers suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Istanbul Airport Transfers IST & SAW – Private Transfers?
+
Around 9 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Istanbul can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Istanbul and add a light layer if any part of the 1-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Istanbul Airport Transfers IST & SAW – Private Transfers start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Istanbul within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Istanbul?
+
On Outty we rank every Istanbul experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Best of Istanbul 1, 2 or 3-Day Private Guided Istanbul Tour, Istanbul Luxury Bosphorus Yacht Cruise with Asian Side Stop, ISTANBUL BEST: Iconic Landmarks Full Day PRIVATE Guided City Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Istanbul?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Istanbul?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
