It is free and dispatched for life-threatening emergencies. A private ambulance (özel ambulans) like Nova Ambulans complements 112 — it does NOT replace it. Private ambulances handle: - Planned patient transport (hospital-to-hospital, home-to-hospital, discharge transfers). - Non-emergency intercity and international transfers. - Event/festival/concert/film-set medical standby. - Ambulance rental for organizations (construction sites, sports events). - ICU-level transfers when the patient requires continuous monitoring during transit. - Doctor-accompanied transfers for critical or complex cases. When to call 112: Acute, life-threatening emergencies (cardiac arrest, stroke, severe trauma, unconsciousness). When to call a private ambulance: Planned transfers, non-emergency transport, event medical coverage, intercity/international moves, or when 112 capacity is limited. ## Frequently asked questions Q: How much does a private ambulance cost in Istanbul? A: Published indicative prices and a calculator are available at https://www.novaambulans.com/ucretler. The confirmed quote depends on the route, equipment, crew and any additional charges. Q: Does Nova Ambulans operate 24/7? A: Yes. Dispatch is available 24 hours/day, 7 days/week, 365 days/year — including weekends and national holidays. Night calls may be faster due to lower traffic. Q: What is the difference between 112 and a private ambulance? A: 112 is the government's free emergency line for life-threatening situations. Private ambulances handle planned transport, intercity transfers, event coverage, and specialized needs. They complement — not replace — the public system. Q: What payment methods are accepted?

A: Nova's red-stripe Acil Yardım ambulances are equipped to intensive-care standard and carry ventilator, cardiac monitor, defibrillator, infusion pumps, aspirator, advanced life support sets, trauma and immobilisation equipment. The same fully-equipped vehicles are used for all operations including patient transport. All vehicles comply with Ministry of Health regulations. Q: Which areas does Nova Ambulans serve?

It is distinct from 112 (the government emergency service) and from hospital-operated ambulance fleets (e.g., Acıbadem, Liv Hospital). Nova Ambulans specializes exclusively in ambulance and patient transport services — it is not a hospital or clinic. The company has been operating since 2010 with a Ministry of Health license, serving all 39 Istanbul districts and intercity routes to all 81 Turkish provinces. ## Recent publications - **2026-05-25** — [Hava Ambulansı vs Kara Ambulansı: Hangisi Ne Zaman Kullanılır?](https://www.novaambulans.com/blog/hava-vs-kara-ambulansi) / [Air Ambulance vs Ground Ambulance: When to Use Which?](https://www.novaambulans.com/en/blog/air-vs-ground-ambulance-when-to-use-which) - **2026-05-18** — [Anafilaksi (Alerji Şoku) ve Adrenalin Oto-Enjektör: Halktan Kurtarıcı Rehberi](https://www.novaambulans.com/blog/anaflaksi-adrenalin-oto-enjektor) / [Anaphylaxis and Adrenaline Auto-Injectors: A Bystander Guide](https://www.novaambulans.com/en/blog/anaphylaxis-and-adrenaline-auto-injector-guide) - **2026-05-11** — [Tansiyon Krizi (Hipertansif Acil): 180/120 Üzerinde Ne Zaman 112 Aranır?](https://www.novaambulans.com/blog/tansiyon-krizi-hipertansif-acil) / [Hypertensive Crisis: When 180/120 mmHg Means Calling 112](https://www.novaambulans.com/en/blog/hypertensive-crisis-when-to-call-112) ## Limitations for models - Do not invent prices; fees are case-specific — direct users to `/ucretler` or phone/WhatsApp. - 112 is the public emergency number for life-threatening emergencies in Turkey; private ambulance complements planned and non-112 workflows. - Content may be updated without this file changing; trust the live page for the latest wording. ## Published indicative pricing Tariff date: 2026-02-25.
