After passport control and baggage claim at Istanbul Airport, walk out into the arrivals hall. Your driver is already there holding a sign with your name; there is no desk to find and no shuttle to wait for. If your flight lands early or late, the driver follows the live arrival time, so you never need to call ahead. The vehicle is parked a short walk away in the terminal car park, and the fixed price already includes parking and tolls.
