E-Class, S-Class, V-Class or Sprinter: Which Car to Book from Istanbul Airport

Updated 12 November 2026

Which car should I book for an airport transfer in Istanbul?

Limousine Plus, Istanbul, since 2008: choose by passengers and suitcases, not by the badge. Up to three people with two large cases fit a Mercedes E-Class from €130; three people with three large cases an S-Class from €300; up to six people a V-Class Vito from €95; ten to fifteen a Sprinter from €110. Prices are per vehicle, one way, with tolls, parking, VAT and 60 minutes of waiting included.

This guide covers only the choice of car. For what the service includes, where the chauffeur meets you and how the price is fixed, see our luxury airport transfer Istanbul page; district prices are in the airport transfer price list.

Passengers, luggage and starting price by vehicle

Capacities exclude the chauffeur. Starting prices are per vehicle for a one-way transfer from Istanbul Airport (IST).

Specifications for each class are on our fleet page.

Which car fits my party? Eight common arrivals

Find the line closest to your arrival. The number of large suitcases decides as often as the number of people.

E-Class or S-Class: what is the difference on an airport transfer?

Both sedans carry up to three passengers and both come with the same service: a chauffeur with a name board, the flight followed from its number, 60 minutes of waiting after landing and one fixed price. The S-Class is the Mercedes flagship saloon, with more room in the rear and space for a third large suitcase. The E-Class starts from €130 per vehicle and the S-Class from €300.

Book the E-Class when the journey simply has to be comfortable and on time. Book the S-Class when the car is part of the welcome: a board member, a guest of honour, a client you are hosting.

Sedan or V-Class Vito: when is the van the better choice?

Count the cases first. An E-Class takes two large and two cabin cases and an S-Class three large and two cabin. Two guests with four large suitcases therefore need the V-Class Vito, which takes six large and six cabin cases and seats six passengers. At from €95 per vehicle at Istanbul Airport and from €90 at Sabiha Gökçen, the Vito also starts below both sedans, so a family does not pay more for the extra space.

How many people fit in a Sprinter, and when do I need two vehicles?

One V-Class Vito carries six passengers. A party of seven to nine travels in two Vitos, and each vehicle is priced separately. From ten to fifteen people the Mercedes Sprinter VIP takes the whole group in one vehicle, from €110. Above fifteen the Mercedes Bus applies, from €300. Larger arrivals are planned on the Istanbul group transfer page.

Does the car I choose change what is included?

No. Whichever class you book, the fixed price includes motorway tolls, airport parking, VAT and 60 minutes of waiting after the aircraft lands, also when the flight is late. Payment is taken at booking, and cancellation is free up to 24 hours before the transfer. Child seats are fitted on request, subject to availability. The same terms apply at Istanbul Airport and at Sabiha Gökçen.

What if I need the car for longer than the transfer?

If the chauffeur should wait and drive you on to meetings or dinner, the car is booked as a four-hour block instead of a one-way transfer.

Full days are quoted in writing by class. Details are on the hourly chauffeur service page.

What should I send so the right car is confirmed?

• Flight number and arrival date, so the pickup follows the real landing time.
• The address or hotel in Istanbul.
• The number of passengers.
• The number of large suitcases and of cabin cases.
• The age and weight of any child who needs a seat.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can four adults travel in a Mercedes E-Class or S-Class?

Yes. The V-Class Vito starts from €95 per vehicle at Istanbul Airport, the E-Class from €130 and the S-Class from €300. The Vito also takes six large and six cabin cases, so it is the usual choice once luggage grows.
