Car rental at Istanbul airports (IST & SAW)

Car rental for Istanbul starts at the airport — and the city has two, far apart on opposite continents: Istanbul Airport (IST) on the European side and Sabiha Gökçen (SAW) on the Asian side. Instead of queuing at a desk after a long flight, you land, meet your car at the terminal and drive straight out. We arrange free delivery to either airport with vetted local partners, track your flight so the timing fits, and confirm everything in writing before you pay.

IST or Sabiha Gökçen — we cover both

The two airports are an hour or more apart, so pick the one your flight actually uses — arriving at the wrong side means a long, tolled crossing. The partner meets you with the keys when you land, a proper hand-over rather than a counter and a wait. A late flight just shifts the meeting time at no extra cost, because pickup is tied to your flight number. The car is checked over with you before you sign, HGS toll tag included.

The right car off the plane

The fleet runs from cheap economy cars to family SUVs and 7-seat minivans. Here for a city break or as a couple? A compact is cheapest and easiest in Istanbul traffic. Travelling as a family or group, or planning day trips to Bursa and the Black Sea? An SUV or minivan gives the space and comfort. Many cars are available with no deposit.

Booking your airport car

Send your flight number, which airport (IST or SAW) and dates; we confirm an available car, the all-in price and the conditions, then have it waiting on arrival. Drop-off back at either airport can be arranged. For the lowest rate see cheap car rental in Istanbul. You need a passport, a licence with an International Driving Permit, and a card.
