From your arrival at Istanbul Airport (IST) or Sabiha Gökçen (SAW) to your hotel, your clinic day and back — Cab Istanbul provides the licensed private transfer that makes your hair transplant visit l...
Cab Istanbul is a licensed private transport company. We are not a hair transplant clinic, a medical agency or a referral service — we do not advise on doctors, procedures or clinic choice. What we do is the ground transportation: a Mercedes E-Class, V-Class, Vito or Sprinter with an English-speaking chauffeur, meeting you at Istanbul Airport (IST) or Sabiha Gökçen (SAW) and moving you between your hotel and your chosen clinic through the visit.

A hair transplant transfer, in the Cab Istanbul sense, is the private airport, hotel and clinic ground transportation that surrounds your medical visit — booked separately from the clinic, at a fixed online price agreed before you travel. The chauffeur is confirmed, the vehicle class is known, the pickup time and the route are documented in your booking.
Many clinics include a transfer in their packages. If yours does — and the timing and comfort suit you — you don’t need us. If yours does not, or the package covers only one leg (typically the procedure day), or you would rather choose the vehicle and the driver yourself for the trip end-to-end, this is what Cab Istanbul provides. Your clinic decision remains yours; we handle the transportation around it.
For the wider driver-included ecosystem — hourly city hire, corporate roadshows, VIP arrivals — see our chauffeur service Istanbul hub.
The first transfer of the visit is the one most travellers value most: a long-haul flight, an unfamiliar terminal, sometimes an early or delayed arrival. Cab Istanbul waits for you at the correct arrival hall with a name board — no queueing, no unknown driver, no metered fare negotiation.
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 E-Class, V-Class or Vito with an English-speaking chauffeur takes you directly to your hotel or clinic. For the full IST terminal breakdown, pickup zones and vehicle options see the Istanbul Airport transfer with chauffeur page.
SAW arrivals are handled with the same meet-and-greet standard and the same fixed-price commitment. If your inbound flight lands at Sabiha Gökçen — most commonly on carriers from Europe and the Middle East — the Sabiha Gökçen chauffeur transfer page covers the arrival-hall meeting point and the transfer options for the Asian side and beyond.
The two transfers that most define a clinic day are the trip out and the trip back. Cab Istanbul handles both as separate bookings or as a single wait-and-return arrangement, depending on how your day is planned.

A punctual pickup at your hotel, coordinated to your clinic appointment time. Chauffeur briefed on the address in advance, English-speaking, discreet manner in the cabin. Vehicle chosen to match your passenger and luggage count. See our car with driver in Istanbul hub for the full private-car format.
For a shorter consultation or follow-up visit, the chauffeur can wait at or near the clinic and return you to the hotel when you’re ready. Priced as a single wait-and-return booking rather than two one-ways. The waiting arrangement is confirmed at the time of booking.
Booked as a separate leg with an on-request pickup at the clinic entrance. Useful when the procedure or follow-up timing isn’t fixed in advance — you tell us when to arrive, we send a chauffeur. WhatsApp coordination on the day.
The return trip from the clinic to your hotel on the day of the procedure is the single most-requested customisation on this service. It matters, and the details of how the transfer is arranged reflect that.
None of the above is a medical claim. Cab Istanbul is a transport provider; your recovery, comfort and any specific mobility needs are matters for your clinic. What we control is the vehicle, the driver, the route and the timing — and each of those is set up to make the ride back straightforward.
Most hair transplant visits to Istanbul run four to seven days. Cab Istanbul co-ordinates the whole week as a set of scheduled transfers, or as a daily chauffeur with the same driver retained across the stay — whichever suits your itinerary.
The same chauffeur across the visit — arrival, consultation, procedure day, follow-up, departure. One point of contact throughout the week, and one confirmed price for the whole programme. See our chauffeur service Istanbul hub for the multi-day format.
Companions and family members are welcome on every transfer — no extra charge per passenger, no separate booking. Choose the vehicle class to fit the passenger and luggage count; the chauffeur handles the group as one party.
Two, three, four or more travelling together — the Vito, V-Class and Sprinter cover the full group-size range. The right class is confirmed in the booking form based on the number of passengers and bags you enter.
Every vehicle in the Cab Istanbul fleet is booked with a professional chauffeur — self-drive is not offered. The class that fits your journey depends on the passenger count and the luggage.
| Vehicle with chauffeur | Passenger capacity | Typical use |
|---|---|---|
| Mercedes E-Class | Up to 3 | Solo traveller, VIP arrival, executive sedan |
| Mercedes S-Class | Up to 3 | VIP arrival, top-tier sedan for premium cabin |
| Mercedes V-Class | Up to 7 | Small group with a premium interior, family with luggage |
| Mercedes Vito | Up to 8 | Family or small group with checked luggage — the everyday choice |
| Mercedes Sprinter | 13 to 14 seat | Larger group travelling together, coordinator with several patients |

Transfer pricing on this page refers to transportation only. Hair transplant surgery pricing is set by clinics and is independent of Cab Istanbul.

D2 is the government-issued transport authorisation required to operate commercial passenger services in Turkey. Cab Istanbul has operated under these credentials for more than fifteen years. Every booking is carried on a licensed vehicle with a professional chauffeur, at a fixed online price agreed before you pay — the compliant, predictable option for a visiting medical traveller.

A clean, air-conditioned Mercedes cabin, a chauffeur briefed on the return route and drop-off directly at your hotel entrance.

This is a transport service, not a medical one — your recovery is your clinic’s responsibility.

No. Cab Istanbul is a licensed private transport company — not a clinic, medical agency or referral service. We do not provide medical consultation, clinic recommendation or treatment services. Your clinic and doctor decisions are yours; we’re not qualified to advise on them. Our role is the ground transportation that makes your visit logistically reliable.
No. Cab Istanbul provides scheduled private car service — not ambulance, not emergency medical transport. If you have an urgent medical need in Istanbul, contact 112 (Turkish emergency services) or your clinic directly. Our service is for planned airport, hotel and clinic transfers.
Transfer pricing depends on the route, vehicle class and duration. The exact fixed price for your journey is shown in the booking form on this page before you pay. Payment is handled online through the booking flow. Prices refer to transportation only; hair transplant surgery pricing is set by clinics, independently of Cab Istanbul.
A licensed Istanbul operator, a Mercedes fleet, an English-speaking chauffeur and a fixed online price shown before you pay. From the arrival at IST or SAW through the clinic day and back — one booking, one point of contact, one clear total.
