The journey takes 3.5 to 4 hours depending on traffic. As a result, there is no ferry wait. Generally, most of the route runs on the motorway, and the road calms down after the Bursa stretch. On request, we can also plan a short break at a suitable rest stop. - The Osmangazi Bridge corridor; no ferry wait - Door to door in one vehicle; no bus station, no changes - An en-route break planned on request - Drop-off in central Balıkesir and the districts ![Rear view of a black Vanvia VIP transfer vehicle driving along a motorway through pine-covered hills](https://vanvia.com.tr/images/vanvia-vito/vanvia-istanbul-balikesir-vip-transfer-marmara-yolu-850.webp) ## Drop-off towards Balıkesir, Bandırma and Edremit In practice, your destination may be central Balıkesir, or an address towards Bandırma or Susurluk. We can plan an extension towards the Edremit bay on request; in that case we settle the route and the timing together at booking. Guests visiting family and business travellers working with the region choose this route most. Likewise, door-to-door service saves real time when travelling with luggage and a full group. In short, the bridge crossing means no stop to load or unload luggage midway, which saves real time for a full family group. Likewise, when you arrive at a narrow street in the city centre, your driver guides the vehicle carefully right up to your address. If you are extending to the Edremit bay, simply note the extra luggage and the group size in your booking. Same-day returns to Istanbul are also easy to arrange around a meeting or a family schedule.
