VIP minibus Kyiv — Istanbul

Travelling from Kyiv to Istanbul on our VIP minibus means a journey in a small group on a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter instead of a crowded coach. The distance is about 1480 km, and the journey takes 21 h with no changes. The minibus makes a few short stops along the way — you’ll find them with arrival times in the “Details” tab on the trip card.

Timetable and fares

The minibus from Kyiv to Istanbul runs every day: 6 trips, the first at 06:20 and the last at 23:10. Times are local to the departure city. A one-way ticket costs 15,045 UAH (€295), a return trip twice as much, and both legs can be booked as a single order. Children under 14 get 20% off.

On board

• just 8 wide leather reclining seats in a 1+1 layout (every seat by the window and by the aisle) with generous space between rows;
• Wi-Fi, and USB and 220 V sockets at every seat;
• air conditioning, plus water, coffee and a blanket for the journey;
• a separate luggage compartment: one suitcase up to 20 kg and a bag in the cabin.

How to book your trip

Choose a date and trip, select seats on the seat map and send the booking to our manager on Telegram. They will confirm your seats, remind you of the boarding point and explain how to pay. Don’t feel like filling in a form? Just message us the route, date and number of passengers — we will take care of the rest.

No border queues

The Kyiv – Istanbul trip is international, but our minibus crosses the border without waiting in the general queue: the only time spent is on the passport check and customs inspection. Arrival times in the timetable are shown in local time.

• Bring a biometric passport — every passenger needs one, children included.
• Enter first and last names in the booking in Latin letters, exactly as in the passport: they are checked at boarding and at the border.
• Arrive at the boarding point in good time: the driver checks passports and loads luggage before departure. The manager will give you the exact boarding time in the confirmation.
