Car service in Istanbul
I will be travelling to Turkey the second week of September. I will be staying in Istanbul and would be interested in information on car driven services. I will commute between Istanbul and Sile and I will also need to pick up some colleagues at the airport.
Any recommendation on a reliable provider would be welcome. Thanks for your help.

Resurrecting -- need advice
Am resurrecting this thread because there really is not much hard data here, or at http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/europ...-opinions.html.
Other threads have mentioned www.shuttledirect.com and www.allistanbultransfer.com -- has anyone used them and with what results?
This is for IST, not Sabiha Gokcen, to the IC Ceylan at Taksim Square.
Hotel wants 150 Euros one way to send a car!
Thanks!

Update
Thought I would post my own experience for future IST travelers and searchers.
I used Backpacker Travel
Web : www.backpackerstravel.net
Mail : [email protected]
for transfers to from and to the airport. Excellent service. Incoming flight was a half hour late and representative was waiting with a sign with my name. He took me to the car and driver, who was there within three minutes.
On the outbound, I had a 5:30 am pickup, and driver was there early. Excellent service in both cases.
Cost: 25 euros each way. I understand a taxi is about 20 euros, so BackPackerTravel is good value. To be recommended. ^
