Nothing tops dropping the windows of your rental car and steering down lengthy stretches of asphalt. But before you take off on a new adventure in Istanbul, how about discovering a little about this popular location? You’ll need to book a flight to Turkey to reach this terrific destination.
How can I get a cheap car rental in Istanbul?

  • A car can take you wherever you want — so can we. Compare the hottest deals from all the top companies in just a couple of clicks.

  • If you’re flexible with your schedule, change your dates to find better prices on different days of the week;
  • Nobody enjoys being slapped with a late fee. Avoid the stress of having to pay for an extra day by making sure your pickup and drop-off times are around the same time;

What is the most popular rental car category in Istanbul?
Don’t restrict yourself to the urban centers. Istanbul features some breathtaking scenery, such as bays, harbors, and rocky coastlines. A car like a convertible will help you discover them in style. These rental vehicles are perfect for those who’d prefer to marvel at the views with the top down. Who doesn’t adore the sensation of the wind in their hair?
Should I get a luxury rental car in Istanbul?
You’ll be happy to hear that there’s an impressive variety of luxury rental vehicles available in Istanbul. What you end up going for is largely dependent on your funds and the activities you’ve got planned. Prestige vehicles offer unparalleled comfort and class. If you feel like splashing out, why not pick up an SUV with all the bells and whistles, or perhaps a flashy mid-size sedan? On the other hand, if you just need a car to get from A to B as cheaply as possible, you’re better off choosing a no-frills compact vehicle (or something else that won’t burn a hole in your wallet).
What side of the road do they drive on in Istanbul?
You’ll have to keep to the right while driving in Istanbul. On top of that, take some extra caution if it’s your first time in the driver’s seat here. Once you’ve got the hang of how the locals drive, you can relax and enjoy the new scenery!
What happens if I get a speeding fine while driving a rental car in Turkey?
One of two things will happen. Your rental company may charge the fined amount to your credit card. This is the most common approach. Alternatively, it may provide your contact information to the relevant local authority so the fine is issued to you directly.
