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 €500; we confirm the final amount before booking. ### Route facts - Distance: 480 km - Duration: 5–5.5 hr - Estimated route price: €500 / approx. 27,950 TRY - Vehicle: Vito VIP Prices are euro (€) based; the TRY amount is shown approximately at the current rate and confirmed before reservation. Tolls and waiting conditions may affect the price. ## Book your VIP transfer Enter your route, date and passenger details to see pricing information for your transfer 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 ![Rear three-quarter view of a black Vanvia VIP transfer vehicle on the motorway leaving İstanbul, with the Bosphorus Bridge visible behind it](https://vanvia.com.tr/images/vanvia-vito/vanvia-istanbul-izmir-vip-transfer-istanbul-otoyol-cikis-850.webp) ## 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. First, the generous boot space carries anything from a briefcase for a business trip to a full set of holiday suitcases at the same time. Likewise, on arrival at an apartment entrance in Alsancak, Konak or Karşıyaka, your driver navigates the narrow street carefully. In short, adding your exact address and floor number to the booking note speeds up the drop-off. A pickup timed to your meeting or flight also helps you arrive on schedule despite Izmir traffic.
