While Istanbul is beautiful, it is unfortunately notorious for taxi availability issues and occasional "tourist traps" (overcharging, taking longer routes). If you want to avoid such unpleasant surprises at the start or end of your holiday, Istanbul Shuttle Travel offers a transparent and safe alternative.

Why Hailing a Taxi Can Be Risky

Especially in tourist hotspots like Sultanahmet, Taksim, and Airports:

  • Uncertain Pricing: Drivers refusing to use the meter or demanding exorbitant fees due to "traffic."
  • Availability Issues: Finding an empty cab during rain or rush hour can be nearly impossible.
  • Communication Barriers: Difficulty explaining your destination or being dropped off at the wrong location.
