From an executive Mercedes S-Class for a business arrival to a Mercedes Sprinter for a corporate group and a stretch limousine for a wedding — Cab Istanbul provides chauffeur-driven luxury transport a...
Cab Istanbul operates a chauffeur-driven luxury fleet across Istanbul: Mercedes S-Class and E-Class executive sedans, V-Class and Vito minivans, the Mercedes Sprinter Limousine for groups of up to thirteen, and stretch limousines for weddings and special occasions. Every hire is booked with a professional English-speaking chauffeur at a fixed online price agreed before you travel — TURSAB registered, D2 transport authorised, 24/7 dispatch.
A Mercedes-focused luxury fleet, chosen for cabin quality, driver-partition privacy, and consistent presentation across airport arrivals, business travel and event transport. Every vehicle is booked with a licensed chauffeur; self-drive is not offered.
The first-class sedan of the fleet — long-wheelbase cabin, refined interior, discreet driving style. The default choice for board-level arrivals, VIP airport pickup, diplomatic protocol and high-profile client entertainment. Chauffeur assigned and confirmed in advance; the S-Class is the top-tier sedan option in the fleet.
The everyday executive sedan — quiet cabin, air-conditioned throughout, suited to airport transfers, business meetings and short city hires for one to four passengers with standard luggage.
Premium minivan interior for small groups, families and VIP airport arrivals with full luggage. Generous headroom, leather seating and a boot arrangement suited to a mix of checked and cabin baggage. See our chauffeur service Istanbul hub for the wider driver-included ecosystem.
A purpose-configured group limousine with a face-to-face VIP cabin, driver partition, leather seating and climate control — not a minibus with upgraded upholstery. The vehicle for corporate delegations, wedding parties and larger group arrivals travelling together in one confirmed booking. Larger group? See van and minibus with driver in Istanbul.
Extended-chassis stretch limousine with a side-facing cabin, ambient lighting, minibar and entertainment. The visual statement vehicle for weddings, engagement celebrations, milestone birthdays and gala evenings. Advance reservation recommended, especially for peak wedding season.
The maximum-presence option in the fleet — elevated cabin profile, commanding road stance, side-facing seating and full event package. Chosen for arrivals where the vehicle itself is part of the moment. Same fixed-price commitment as the rest of the limousine range.
| Vehicle with chauffeur | Passenger capacity | Typical use |
|---|---|---|
| Mercedes E-Class | 1 – 4 | Airport transfers, business meetings, short city hire |
| Mercedes S-Class | 1 – 3 | VIP arrivals, board-level travel, diplomatic protocol |
| Mercedes V-Class / VIP Vito | 1 – 8 | Small groups, family airport arrivals, corporate roadshow |
| Mercedes Sprinter Limousine | Up to 13 | Delegations, wedding party group transfer, event shuttle |
| Stretch Limousine | Up to 20 | Weddings, engagements, milestone celebrations, galas |
| Stretch Hummer Limousine | Up to 20 | Maximum-presence arrivals, group events |
The first ride of the visit is the one most travellers plan first: a long-haul flight, an unfamiliar terminal, sometimes an early or delayed arrival. Cab Istanbul waits in the correct arrival hall with a name board — no queueing at the taxi rank, no metered fare negotiation, no unknown driver.
Meet-and-greet in the International Arrivals hall with a name board. Flight tracking begins at the time of booking, so a delay or an early landing does not disrupt the pickup. A Mercedes S-Class, E-Class, V-Class or Vito with an English-speaking chauffeur takes you directly to your hotel, office or venue; the Sprinter Limousine and stretch limousine are booked for group arrivals and VIP events. Full terminal breakdown and vehicle options on the Istanbul Airport transfer with chauffeur page and the dedicated VIP airport transfer Istanbul hub.
SAW arrivals are handled with the same meet-and-greet standard and the same fixed-price commitment. The Sabiha Gökçen chauffeur transfer page covers the arrivals-hall meeting point and vehicle options for the Asian side and beyond. Cruise passengers landing at Galataport in Karaköy are collected from the terminal in an S-Class or V-Class, with wait-between-stops arrangements available for shore-day itineraries.
Occasions where the arrival itself is part of the moment — wedding ceremonies, engagement celebrations, milestone birthdays and galas. Book a stretch limousine for maximum presence, or a Mercedes S-Class for a more discreet luxury arrival.

Stretch limousine for the ceremony arrival, or a Mercedes S-Class for a refined bridal car. Multi-vehicle coordination for the guest party is handled under a single booking; timing is agreed with the venue before the day. Peak season (May, June, September) requires advance reservation.
A stretch limousine or S-Class chauffeur for engagement dinners, surprise moments and multi-stop celebration evenings. The chauffeur waits between stops; the price is agreed for the whole engagement rather than metered per leg.
Landmark birthday parties, wedding-anniversary dinners and other milestone evenings — a stretch limousine or Mercedes S-Class arrives at the pickup, waits at each stop and returns the group at the end of the night at the confirmed fixed price.
Charity galas, black-tie evenings, opening nights and private receptions. A stretch limousine for group arrivals; a Sprinter Limousine for corporate delegations. Uniformed chauffeur, discreet manner, late-night return included in the same booking.
Concerts, private-club evenings and Bosphorus nightlife hires. The chauffeur is available for the return trip whenever the evening ends — no last-orders taxi search, no surge fare on the way home.
Explore Istanbul at your own pace in a chauffeur-driven S-Class or V-Class — Sultanahmet, Beyoğlu, the Bosphorus villages, Levent, Kadıköy. Hourly or full-day hire with the chauffeur waiting between stops. See our car with driver in Istanbul hub for the wider single-day city-support format.

Corporate hire in Istanbul spans board-level arrivals, roadshow mobility across Levent, Maslak, Beşiktaş and Şişli, client entertainment, and multi-day delegate programmes for conferences and trade visits.
For a solo executive or a small senior party, the Mercedes S-Class or E-Class provides a quiet cabin suited to private calls and working transit. For delegations of up to eight, the V-Class or Vito carries the group and its luggage without transfers. For groups of nine to thirteen — trade delegations, investor tours, conference parties — the Sprinter Limousine keeps the full group together in one vehicle with the driver-partition privacy of a true limousine format.
Multi-day programmes retain the same chauffeur and vehicle for the full duration, with a single confirmed price agreed at booking. Corporate accounts and VAT invoicing are handled on request. For the broader executive-transport ecosystem see the Istanbul car service page.
Not every luxury hire is a single transfer. Cab Istanbul offers the same fleet in hourly, half-day, full-day and multi-day formats — with the chauffeur retained on standby between stops so the price stays fixed regardless of how the day evolves.
Two hours or more, priced by vehicle class. The right format for shopping days, multi-stop business rounds, evening event pickups and shorter city agendas where the timing at each stop is variable.
The same chauffeur across a full day of city or intercity travel — arrivals, meetings, sightseeing, event drop-off, return home. Single fixed price for the whole day.
A dedicated chauffeur and vehicle across a multi-day investor roadshow, conference or trade visit. Single quote for the programme; corporate invoicing handled on request.
The difference between a limousine and a standard vehicle is architectural, not decorative — the driver partition, the cabin configuration, and the standard of service around them.

D2 is the government-issued transport authorisation required to operate commercial passenger services in Turkey. Cab Istanbul has held these credentials and operated luxury chauffeur transport in Istanbul since 2008. Every hire in the limousine fleet is carried on a licensed vehicle with a professional English-speaking chauffeur, fully insured for passenger liability, at a fixed online price agreed before you pay.

Every hire includes the vehicle, a professional English-speaking chauffeur, fuel, Bosphorus bridge and Eurasia Tunnel tolls, and standard parking during the hire. Airport transfers additionally include 60-minute complimentary wait time and live flight tracking. The price shown in the booking form is the total you pay — no meter, no surge, no revisions at journey end.
Flight tracking begins the moment the booking is confirmed. On arrival, the chauffeur is waiting in the correct arrivals hall with a name board — no queueing, no unknown driver. A 60-minute complimentary wait covers reasonable delays. See the Istanbul Airport transfer and Sabiha Gökçen airport transfer pages for full terminal detail and vehicle options.
Mercedes E-Class and S-Class executive sedans for one to four passengers, Mercedes V-Class and VIP Vito for small groups of up to eight, Mercedes Sprinter Limousine for delegations of up to thirteen, and stretch limousines — including a Stretch Hummer — for up to twenty passengers on weddings and special occasions.

Yes. Stretch limousines seat up to twenty passengers in a side-facing cabin with ambient lighting, minibar and entertainment. They are booked for wedding ceremonies, engagement celebrations, milestone birthdays and gala evenings. Peak wedding season (May, June and September) requires advance reservation of one to two weeks for weekend dates.
Mercedes S-Class chauffeur hire in Istanbul starts from $70 to $100 per hour, with a two-hour minimum. Airport transfer in an S-Class from IST or SAW to the city centre starts from $130. Multi-day and corporate programme rates are quoted individually. The exact fixed price for your booking is shown in the form before you pay.
Yes. A stretch limousine airport transfer from IST or SAW is available on advance booking, starting from $400. The chauffeur meets you in the arrivals hall with a name board; luggage assistance and 60-minute complimentary wait are included. Stretch airport arrivals require earlier booking than standard sedan transfers because of fleet availability.
For standard sedan and V-Class hire the same day or the day before is usually possible. For Sprinter Limousine and stretch limousine bookings — and any occasion package — a minimum of 48 to 72 hours is recommended. Peak wedding season weekend dates in May, June and September should be reserved one to two weeks in advance.
Yes. Every vehicle class is available on an hourly basis with a two-hour minimum. Hourly hire is the standard format for shopping days, multi-stop city agendas, evening event pickups and private city tours where the chauffeur remains on standby between stops.
Yes. A dedicated chauffeur and vehicle can be assigned to a corporate group for the full duration of a roadshow, conference or trade visit.

No. All Cab Istanbul limousines are chauffeur-driven only. Turkish transport regulations require a state-issued commercial passenger licence to operate every vehicle in the fleet, and the passenger liability insurance is conditional on a professionally licensed chauffeur. If you specifically need to drive yourself, major international operators such as SIXT, Enterprise and Europcar handle the self-drive luxury rental segment.
Yes. Cruise arrivals at Galataport in Karaköy are collected from the cruise terminal in an S-Class, V-Class or Sprinter Limousine depending on group size. Wait-between-stops arrangements are available for shore-day itineraries, and the drop-off returns to the ship before the all-aboard time.
Free cancellation windows are confirmed in your booking confirmation. Different formats — airport, hourly, occasion package, multi-day — have different notice periods, and peak-season stretch limousine reservations may have specific terms. The exact policy for your booking is shown at the time of reservation and repeated in the confirmation email.
Payment is handled through the booking form. Accepted methods include Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Troy, bank transfer (SWIFT/IBAN), cash in USD, EUR or TRY, and major cryptocurrencies. Fixed prices are quoted in the currency you select in the form before you pay — no exchange-rate surprises on the day.
A licensed Istanbul operator, a Mercedes fleet from S-Class to stretch, an English-speaking chauffeur and a fixed online price shown before you pay. Airport arrival, wedding day, corporate roadshow or gala evening — one booking, one confirmed total.
