Istanbul Airport (IST) transfer to your hotel
A Seen Travels driver meets you in the arrivals hall of Istanbul Airport with a sign bearing your name and takes you in a private Mercedes Vito VIP (up to 6 passengers and 6 large bags) or a Sprinter van (up to 15 passengers) to the door of your hotel in Taksim, Sultanahmet, Şişli or any Istanbul district. The price is fixed per vehicle in USD whatever the number of passengers, read straight from the booking system, and paid on arrival. The service runs around the clock by prior arrangement, with free cancellation up to 24 hours before pickup.
Istanbul airport pickup — a driver waiting with your name board
Seen’s airport reception service at Istanbul Airport (and Sabiha Gökçen) starts inside the arrivals hall: your driver waits with a name board, tracks your flight number so a delayed plane costs you no waiting fees, then takes you privately from the airport door to your hotel door.
- Meet & greet inside arrivals with your name board — no extra reception fees.
- Your driver tracks your flight: a delayed plane never means waiting charges.
- A private vehicle just for you with luggage: 6 large bags in the Vito, 15 in the Van.
- Flat USD price for the whole car; pay on arrival in cash or via a prepay link.
Free cancellation up to 24 hours before pickup — reschedule easily on WhatsApp.
