Does anyone know what the going rate for taxis from the new airport to central Istanbul (say, Taksim) is? I'm trying to weigh up the cost of booking a private transfer online versus a taxi. Private transfers from the new airport to Taksim are around 50USD (~44km). A taxi from the old airport to Taksim would have been around 10USD from memory (~22km).

A taxi to Taksim from Istanbul Airport would cost around 25-30USD ( around ₺130-₺160 ( depends on if the driver uses the toll road )).
