Istanbul to Izmir Transfer: Door-to-Door VIP Between the Two Cities

An Istanbul to Izmir transfer turns the road between the country's two busiest cities into a single private journey. With no airport queues, baggage limits or changes, a Mercedes-Benz Vito VIP collects you at your address and drops you at your Izmir door. In practice, the estimated route price is €567; we confirm the final amount before booking.

What the drive from Istanbul to Izmir is like

Izmir lies roughly 480 kilometres from Istanbul via the Osmangazi Bridge and the İstanbul–İzmir motorway. Generally speaking, the journey takes 5 to 5.5 hours depending on traffic, almost entirely on the motorway.

In addition, we plan a break at a suitable rest area along the way. In the quiet cabin you can work, rest or pass the journey with a film.

  • The Osmangazi Bridge corridor; no ferry wait
  • Door to door in one vehicle; no baggage-limit worries
  • A planned rest break on the long haul
  • Drop-off in Alsancak, Konak, Bornova and Karşıyaka

When it beats flying

Of course, for a single traveller, flying is usually faster. For a full family or a team, though, the picture changes. Add the airport run, check-in and baggage time, and the door-to-door totals get close while the comfort gets fragmented.

In fact, a private transfer runs on your own programme. For example, we plan requests that get difficult on a plane — a stop along the way, a pet, bulky luggage — easily here during reservation.
