Tips & Hints about Istanbul International Airport Taxis

General Tips

Istanbul International Airport taxis are metered, so always ensure the taximeter is reset and turned on at the start of your journey.

Regular yellow taxis are widely available and offer affordable rates for getting to Istanbul Old Town and other city destinations.

Safety and Regulations

Choose a taxi from the official taxi ranks at Istanbul International Airport to avoid unauthorized drivers who might overcharge. Official taxis are clearly marked with distinctive colors: yellow for economy, turquoise for comfort, and black for premium services. Always check for a visible driver ID and operating license to ensure a safe and regulated trip.

Istanbul taxi drivers are usually familiar with major landmarks like Sultanahmet, Hagia Sophia, and the Grand Bazaar, making navigation straightforward for international visitors.

Additional Tips

While most taxi drivers are efficient, some routes may include heavy traffic, particularly during peak hours. To avoid delays, consider traveling early or late in the day.
