Başakşehir Çam and Sakura City Hospital is one of the closest major hospitals to Istanbul Airport — about 27 km and 30 minutes.
Patients and companions often arrive tired after a long flight. The driver meets you inside arrivals with a name sign, helps with luggage and drives straight to the entrance you specify.
The starting price on this page excludes motorway tolls and airport fees; they are added to the exact quote before you book, and traffic does not change the confirmed total.
Short motorway run from IST; drop-off at the hospital's main visitor entrance.
