P - How far ahead of time should I book my transfer?
R -
It is possible to book a private transfer service in Istanbul with a minimum of 6 hours in advance
P - How long does the journey from the hotel to the airport take?
R -
If you want to hire a round-trip transfer service and you are flying from Istanbul Airport, we recommend requesting pickup at least 3.5 hours before your departure..
P - What pick up time should I choose?
R -
For transfers beginning at the airport, you should indicate the time at which your flight is due to arrive. The same goes for cruise ports and train stations: you should indicate the planned arrival time.
For transfers from your hotel, you should indicate when you would like to be picked up. That doesn't mean the flight time, rather the time you would like to be collected.
For shared transfers, orders may be modified by the provider. Should this be the case, we will contact you to confirm the rearranged time.
P - How long will the driver wait for me?
R -
Airports: 1 hour from the plane's arrival time.
Cruise ports: 30 minutes from the time indicated when making your reservation.
Tran stations: 15 minutes from the train's arrival time.
Hotels and apartments: 15 minutes from the time indicated when making your reservation.
If for any reason you need more time, please ring the telephone number on your reservation. Should this be the case, supplements may apply.
P - Where will the driver be waiting for me?
R -
Airports:
Meet&Greet transfer included: the driver will wait at the nearest available pickup point to the exit of the baggage claim area.
Meet&Greet transfer not included: we'll email you the directions to the meeting point and/or the driver will indicate it before the service.
Ports: the driver will wait in the arrivals terminal.
Train stations: the driver will wait at the exit of the train's arrival platform.
Hotels and apartments: the driver will wait outside the building. If it's possible to park, the driver may wait at reception.
P - Are the prices final? Are there any extra charges?
R -
Unlike our competitors, our prices are final, and include all fees, including tolls and tips. Some extra charges may apply if the destination is not as arranged, or if an extra stop must be taken on the way.
P - How many people can travel in the vehicle?
R -
The number of seats indicated for each vehicle is the maximum number of people who can travel, excluding the driver. All passengers, including small children no matter the age, count.
If your group is large, you should reserve more than one vehicle.
P - How many suitcases can I take?
R -
During the reservations process you can see the amount of luggage that each vehicle allows. Each vehicle comes with indications as to its maximum capacity for large suitcases and hand luggage.
The maximum dimensions per type of suitcase are:
Hand luggage: total length, height and width adding up to no more than 115 cm.
Large suitcase: total length, height and width adding up to no more than 155 cm.
P - Are child seats available?
R -
During the reservation process you'll see information regarding child seats. Depending on the regulations in each destination, these may be obligatory or optional, and they may be free or imply an additional cost. You will see this cost added before booking.
P - How can I find out my flight number?
R -
The flight number is comprised of 2 characters that represent the airline, and 4 numbers for the flight number. Some examples are IB3506, UX1254, or 5Z1826. You can find your flight number on the airline's confirmation email.
P - Do I have to let someone know if my flight, boat, or train is delayed?
R -
Flights, trains and boats are constantly monitored, so you don't have to worry about getting in touch with us. Should the delay be large, if it's impossible to reprogram the transfer as there are no vehicles available, we'll refund the full amount paid.
P - Why do I need a working mobile phone?
R -
A working mobile phone is needed so we can call you should there be any emergency, such as a breakdown, or simply if the driver can't find you.
P - Who is responsible for a missed flight?
R -
The transfer company is never responsible for a missed flight. The clients are those who must know what time the flight leaves, and book pick up far enough ahead of time.
P - Is it possible to make various stops?
R -
If you're staying in different hotels, or you need to make a stop to pick up keys, this service comes with supplemental charges. Once you have made your reservation, we'll send you an email with the amount. You can accept or cancel the service at no cost. You can pay online or in-destination.
P - Can I share the vehicle with other people?
R -
We offer both private and shared transfers. In the case of private services, the vehicle will be for you alone. For shared transfers, you will share the vehicle with other passengers.
P - Will the driver speak English?
R -
Although in the majority of countries, the drivers will speak several languages, we can't guarantee that the driver assigned to you will speak English. Nonetheless, it shouldn't be necessary to complete the transfer, as the driver will have all the necessary details.
P - Do you have transfers in other destinations?
R -
Yes, here you can see all the destinations where we offer airport transfers.
El conductor nos escribió el día anterior para saber nombre del otro pasa género y maletas y llegó 10 minutos antes así que muy bien en ese sentido , solo tuvimos un percance casi llegando al aeropuerto que el conductor dio un volantazo y paso por los conos de emergencia del lateral , por lo que entendimos porque había algo en la carretera.

The driver wrote to us the day before to find out the name of the other baggage handler and arrived 10 minutes early, so it was very good in that sense. We only had one incident when we were almost at the airport when the driver swerved and went through the emergency cones on the side, so we understood why there was something on the road.

A good experience. We left through the designated door and the different operators were located right outside (just go to the one indicated). We identified ourselves, and they called the driver. They kindly escorted us to the car. The car was very spacious and the driver was friendly. I recommend it.

Este traslado de vuelta fue mucho mejor que el de ida. Aquí el conductor muy profesional, me contactó antes. El vehículo muy limpio y bien cuidado. Tenía la separación cerrada así que mucha privacidad. Nos dejó en la entrada de embarques internacionales. En general muy satisfecho con el servicio (a diferencia del de ida, que fue contratado también con Civitatis).

This return transfer was much better than the outbound transfer. The driver was very professional and contacted me in advance. The vehicle was very clean and well-maintained. The partition was closed, giving us plenty of privacy. He dropped us off at the international departures entrance. Overall, I was very satisfied with the service (unlike the outbound transfer, which was also arranged through Civitatis).

Hubo problemas por ser el 1 de mayo y la zona de Taksim estaba cerrada. El conductor se metió por mi callejones para lograr dejarnos a 2 minutos andando del hotel. Se lo agradecimos mucho porque el tráfico estaba realmente complicado. Éramos una familia de 5 y era una furgoneta Vito moderna y muy cómoda. Realmente estuvo muy bien.

Las instrucciones remitidas previamente para localizar el punto de encuentro fueron acertadas y completas.
Una vez en el punto de encuentro, fue un poco caótico por el alto volumen de turistas que estábamos allí, y los numerosos coordinadores encargados de ubicar a los grupos con los conductores.
Ya con el coordinador, esperamos unos 10 minutos a nuestro conductor.
La furgoneta en la que nos recogió, exclusivamente a nuestro grupo, estaba bien acondicionada, con algunos años ya pero limpia.
