If you want to see everything Istanbul has to offer, there is no better way to do so from behind the wheel of a rental car from Hertz. Stop wasting your vacation waiting on the bus, or wasting money here and there with ride-shares or taxis. When you have access to your own car, you can go wherever you want to go, whenever you want. Make your upcoming vacation to Turkey even better with a Hertz rental car.
With all there is to do in and around Istanbul, you'll be wanting to take in more than your hotel room during your trip. Whether you have to check out the chophouse that has gotten fantastic reviews across town or try some of the local hot spots, you'll want your own auto to see and do as much as you can while on your vacation. Wherever you drive to in Istanbul, if you wish to get the most from your trip Turkey, having your vehicle is a must.

CarRentals.com always tries to get you the lowest price, whether you reserve your vehicle. But booking well ahead of your visit can help you save even more. Be sure to read the mileage policy and keeping it to one driver will reduce your expense.
Make sure to carry with you your driver's permit and a credit card in your name.
Hertz's minimum age to rent a car in Istanbul is 21. Make sure to review Hertz's policies, as there may be limitations if you are under 25 in most cases or for higher category vehicles especially.
That all depends on your needs and what activities you want to do in Istanbul. Compact or economy vehicles are ideal for short drives and are easier to park. If you are traveling with coworkers, then a SUV or a sedan is going to have more room for luggage and be a more comfortable ride. Those looking for a bit of luxury on their Istanbul vacation can choose the premium category for a car like a Mercedes C-Class or Cadillac XTS or similar.
You are required to have insurance before you rent in Turkey. Many of the major credit card issuers (Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover) usually provide some coverage. However, many of them have restrictions, such as not covering bigger vehicles, like trucks or SUVs. Make sure to find out exactly what your credit card will cover and how much before you head to Istanbul. Otherwise, as a United States citizen, you can also book Collision Damage Coverage through CarRentals.com at checkout.
Hertz requires a deposit when you reserve your rental car. Hertz will block the deposit on your credit once you reserve your vehicle for your trip. Please note that the deposit may vary greatly based on the make and model of the car.
At CarRentals.com, we recommend a full tank policy. You pick up your Hertz rental with the needle at "F". If you return the rental with less than the amount that you received it with, most companies will charge a premium, and sometimes up to 3X the amount of current fuel prices to refill it. If you want to keep your expenses lower, it is best to fill up your tank before you return the car to Hertz. Stations near or around airports or car rental places tend to have higher prices.
Istanbul definitely has its charms, but you may want to take to the road again after you've checked off all the activities here.
Hertz offers one-way rentals in most cases. You may find it more convenient to drop off your rental at a different Hertz. However, there is typically an additional fee when you opt for one-way.
With so much to do and see in Istanbul, having access to your own car lets you explore at your own pace. When you're ready to check out more of Turkey, you can drive when you like, without having to wait for the bus or signal for a cab.
Before you head out of town, book your Hertz Istanbul rental car and take off to all the must-do activities at your own pace. Reserve through CarRentals.com and hit the open road in Istanbul, Turkey.
