Istanbul traffic is heavy on weekdays, roughly 07:00–10:00 and 17:00–20:00, and bridge and motorway crossings can add time. We plan pickups with this in mind.
This is a short drive; traffic rarely changes the journey time by much.
Your driver follows live traffic and picks the best route. The price is fixed and does not change with traffic or waiting time.
It is a working town with a bazaar, harbour and plenty of everyday life.
