Sabiha Gokcen International Airport (SAW) on the Asian side of Istanbul handles roughly 41 million passengers a year and is the default airport for low-cost carriers (Pegasus, AnadoluJet) and for travellers staying on the Asian side — Kadikoy, Uskudar, Atasehir, Bagdat Avenue. SAW transfer pricing in 2026 is dramatically simpler than the airport itself: PickupsPoint publishes a single fixed-price list in EUR per route per Mercedes vehicle, all-in, no surge, with no separate line for tolls, the Eurasia Tunnel, motorway fees or driver tips. The price you see at booking at 14:00 is the price your card is charged when the chauffeur drops you at 03:45.

The complication with SAW is that the airport sits 45 km from Sultanahmet via the Eurasia Tunnel and 50 km from Taksim — but only 18 km from Kadikoy on the same Asian side. That distance asymmetry means SAW transfer prices depend more on destination side (European vs Asian) than on traffic. Asian-side rides (Kadikoy, Uskudar, Atasehir) run €40-€55 in a Mercedes E-Class; European-side rides (Sultanahmet, Taksim, Besiktas, Bebek) run €65-€80 because of the Eurasia Tunnel toll (~₺175 included in our price) and the 50-60 minute drive. Our pricing table below shows the exact 2026 number for every SAW route by vehicle tier.

Three things are particularly worth knowing about SAW pricing. First, the night surcharge issue: yellow taxis from SAW apply Tarife 2 (+50%) from 22:00 to 06:00, making a €25-meter Kadikoy ride €38, while PickupsPoint charges €40 fixed at any hour — meaning a fixed-price transfer is actually cheaper than a metered taxi for late-night arrivals. Second, the child seat issue: SAW yellow taxis carry zero infant or child seats by default; PickupsPoint includes EU-certified seats free of charge, pre-installed before pickup. Third, the language issue: SAW is heavily dominated by Russian, German and Arabic travellers — our chauffeurs are available in all three languages on request, with no surcharge.

PickupsPoint operates SAW under TÜRSAB licence #14034, with a Mercedes-only fleet (E-Class, S-Class, V-Class with tinted windows) maintained on a 15,000 km service cycle. Every SAW pickup includes free real-time flight tracking, 60 minutes of free waiting time, a personalised name board held airside in international arrivals, free Wi-Fi, free bottled water and a printed invoice receipt in your preferred currency (EUR, USD, GBP, TRY). Round-trip bookings receive an automatic 10% discount on the total fare. The rest of this page lays out exactly what you pay for each SAW route by vehicle tier, what is included in the fixed price, what is explicitly not charged, and the most common Asian-side hotels and European-side districts where we drop SAW passengers every day.
