🌉 How are highway tolls and Bosphorus bridge crossing fees handled for transfer routes?

Our transfers operate on pre-confirmed fixed rates calculated via the standard, least-costly route. If a passenger specifically requests an alternative premium route—such as the undersea Eurasia Tunnel or the Yavuz Sultan Selim Bridge—the additional official electronic toll difference (HGS) is calculated and billed as requested.

🙋‍♂️ Where will our private chauffeur meet us inside the airport arrivals terminal?

After clearing passport control, baggage claim, and customs inspection at IST or SAW airport, exit directly into the central public arrivals greeting hall.

We monitor all incoming commercial, charter, and private flights in real time using active aviation radar tracking tied to your flight number. Your pickup schedule automatically recalibrates to match your actual runway touchdown time at zero additional fee, ensuring your driver is positioned at the terminal when your flight lands.
