Where to Meet Your Driver at Sabiha Gökçen Airport
Sabiha Gökçen Airport (SAW) is on the Asian side of Istanbul. When you book a private transfer, your driver tracks your flight and waits for you in the arrivals area with a sign showing your name, so you don't need to look for a taxi or a coach stop. This page explains what happens between landing and meeting your driver.
Short answer: after passport control (on international flights), baggage claim and customs, walk out into the arrivals hall. Your driver will be waiting there with a sign showing your name. The exact meeting point and your driver's contact details are in your booking confirmation.
Step by step after landing
- Passport control: on international flights you pass passport control first. When several flights land at the same time, allow extra time here.
- Baggage claim and customs: collect your checked luggage and walk through the customs exit.
- Arrivals hall: as you come out, look for your driver holding a sign with your name.
- To the car: your driver helps with your luggage and walks with you to the vehicle.
If you can't see your driver
Use the phone or WhatsApp number in your booking confirmation and we'll connect you with your driver straight away. Please don't leave with anyone who approaches you offering a ride unless they're holding the sign with your name.
Delays and late-night arrivals
Sabiha Gökçen has many late-evening and after-midnight arrivals. Your driver tracks your flight, so if it lands early or late, the pickup adjusts to the actual landing time. If your flight is delayed, your driver will adjust their arrival time accordingly at no extra charge.
Arriving on a domestic flight
Domestic passengers don't go through passport control and usually reach the arrivals area sooner. Your driver knows which flight you're on and will be waiting for it.
