⚠️ Important Local Taxi & Arrival Tips

  • Insist the meter is on; some unofficial drivers near the terminal offer fixed rates that are far higher than the İBB meter.
  • Use the official taxi rank or BiTaksi/iTaksi apps; touts inside arrivals may lead you to unlicensed taxis.
  • European-side trips from SAW must include the bridge or Eurasia Tunnel toll on the meter; a driver quoting 'no toll' is likely off-meter.
  • At Havabüs and metro stations, buy tickets only from official machines or desks; ignore people selling used Istanbulkarts or cheap transfers.
