In short, the estimated route price is €360 and we confirm the final amount before booking. ### Route facts - Distance: 259 km - Duration: 3 hr - Estimated route price: €360 / approx. 20,150 TRY - Vehicle: Vito VIP Prices are euro (€) based; the TRY amount is shown approximately at the current rate and confirmed before reservation.

The journey takes about 3 hours depending on traffic. Because almost the whole route runs on the motorway, the drive flows well. Particularly, in winter, conditions around the Bolu mountain pass can change quickly. We therefore plan the departure time and the route together when you book, and your driver tracks the road conditions in advance. - Door to door in one vehicle; no bus station, no changes - Generous luggage room for ski and outdoor gear - An en-route break planned on request - Drop-off in central Bolu and towards Gölcük and Kartalkaya ![Rear view of a black Vanvia VIP transfer vehicle driving along a forested mountain road on an overcast day](https://vanvia.com.tr/images/vanvia-vito/vanvia-istanbul-bolu-vip-transfer-bolu-dagi-otoyol-850.webp) ## Drop-off in central Bolu, Gölcük and Kartalkaya In practice, your destination may be a hotel in central Bolu, a bungalow around Gölcük Nature Park or, in the winter season, a resort towards Kartalkaya. Sharing the address when you book lets us plan the drop-off precisely. Couples planning a nature escape, larger families and, in winter, ski groups choose this route. If you are staying around Lake Abant, see our separate page for that route. In fact, the generous luggage room takes ski gear as easily as the extra bags a family visit brings, and your driver steers carefully into the narrow forest roads leading to bungalow addresses. In addition, if you are carrying chains or similar winter equipment, a note in your booking is enough for us to prepare. On the return leg from Kartalkaya, the same VIP comfort applies, and we set the pickup time around your ski schedule. Guests combining a nature stop with a hotel night can plan both legs in one reservation.
