About
Airport transfer in Istanbul is a fast-growing sector yet still catching up on the international competition. Fat Taxi was born out of our ambition to welcome travellers upon their arrival to Istanbul and make their journey from/to Istanbul airport and Sabiha Gökçen airport safe, comfortable and with a premium feel. We are a group of friends who felt that airport taxi services should be honest, of premium customer service yet affordable. With years of experience in hospitality, customer service and marketing, and being frequent travellers ourselves, we wanted to create a trusted brand that sets the standards in the industry and make people feel looked after while travelling in a somehow chaotic Turkey.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

My original taxi driver cancelled at the last minute (3 hour before pick-up time).
Being in a foreign country, I got a little panicky and searched online for other providers. I whatsapped the customer service and they replied promptly. The driver also arrived on time (in fact 10 mins before the pick-up time).
Superbly efficient. I don't mind using them again for the ease of mind and comfort.

We ordered a van to take 5 of us from Boyuglu to IST airport at 5am in the morning. Fat Taxi stayed in communication with us and picked us up right on time. They even had internet in the van (that was extremely fast!). The price was very reasonable and we are very happy with the company

Fantastic customer service and experience. Super impressed with their hygiene standard - they asked whether I’d like my luggage handled and took extra care about the experience inside the cab making sure they asked for my preference for air conditioning versus open windows for air ventilation etc. Highly recommended for their quality standards and overall professionalism. Top notch service!

I had a fantastic experience with them on my travels. they have a great easy to use website which i was able to make my bookings on before I traveled. They were in touch with me over the phone when i arrived, the drivers were professional, friendly and knowledgeable about the city. Even a last min change in my plans was accommodated without any hassle. Highly recommended and i am sure i will be a returning customer.

I called this company after 9pm to get a car for the next morning. Sinan, the manager, answered the phone, spoke perfect English and was able to get a nice Mercedes minivan to us right on time the next morning at 10am. The car was clean, the driver helpful and polite. And I was able to pay by credit card on a secure link straight away! I would totally use them again and recommend them 100%! Great service and for a VERY reasonable price!

Every tourist feels uneasy when they come to another country. However, since their staff speaks English, they never made us feel uneasy. and we did not hesitate until the moment we went to the hotel. Because hotels that pay attention to guest satisfaction pay attention to the high quality of their services from the airport to the hotel. and this company really made us feel very comfortable. we can be sure i will use this transfer company again

I had a long connection in Istanbul airport, so decided to go to the city with my little daughter, and then back to the airport on the evening. It was the best decision to choose Fat taxi - great service, reasonable price, very good and polite drivers, and great support work of manager via WhatsApp. I am very satisfied!!!
