Istanbul has no street-hail wheelchair van. Pre-book a private lift van by phone, or ask the Istanbul Airport taxi desk for an accessible black luxury taxi. Call +90 850 780 7734 for the airport taxi, or a private operator for a stay-in-chair van.
The airport taxi uses a seating device to help you board a black luxury taxi. Private firms such as Engelsiz Nakil and Asist Engelsiz Mobil use a lift or ramp so you stay in the chair. Both give an own quote.
