Istanbul is a city of two continents, and a car opens up everything beyond the historic core. The centre — Sultanahmet, the Grand Bazaar, Beyoğlu — is best on foot and transit, but a rental car is the easy way to handle the airports, reach the suburbs along the Bosphorus, and take the day trips: Bursa, the Black Sea beaches at Şile, or the long coast roads. We are a booking service: tell us your dates and the type of car and we find an available vehicle from a vetted local rental company in Istanbul.
Which car to rent in Istanbul
- Economy, a small automatic like a Fiat 500 or Renault Clio for the suburbs and airport runs, cheap on fuel in heavy traffic.
- SUV, a Hyundai Tucson or Nissan Qashqai for families and the longer drives to Bursa or the Black Sea.
- Minivan, a Mercedes V-Class or VW Caravelle for groups and airport transfers with luggage.
- Standard sedan, a Toyota Corolla or Skoda Octavia for comfort on the motorways.
Cars in Turkey drive on the right. The Bosphorus bridges and motorways use electronic HGS tolls, billed automatically. Browse the fleet below, or open the partner search to compare live prices and book in minutes.
Many partners offer no-deposit rentals; others hold a small refundable deposit on a credit card. We confirm the terms before you book.
Istanbul Airport (IST) is on the European side, Sabiha Gökçen (SAW) on the Asian side. We deliver to whichever your flight uses — pick that one to avoid crossing the city.
Tourists drive on a national licence; an International Driving Permit is recommended and sometimes required. A passport and a credit card for the deposit are also needed.
Central traffic is heavy, so for the historic core (Sultanahmet, Beyoğlu) public transport is often easier. A car shines for the airports, the suburbs and day trips like Bursa, Şile or the Princes' Islands ferries.
Yes. The Bosphorus bridges and motorways use the electronic HGS system, billed automatically — no cash booths. Rental cars carry an HGS tag and tolls are settled afterwards.
