Where to Pick Up a Car in Istanbul
Istanbul Airport (IST)
Istanbul Airport (IST) is the main international gateway to the city. Many car rental counters are located in the arrivals area, with a wide choice of cars and 24/7 service.
Sabiha Gökçen Airport (SAW)
Sabiha Gökçen (SAW) on the Asian side is convenient for travelers staying in Kadikoy, Pendik and nearby districts. Car rental at SAW is a good option if your hotel is on the Asian side.
City Offices
In addition to airports, many companies have city offices in central districts such as Taksim, Sisli and Kadikoy. These are useful if you want to start your rental a few days after arrival.

FAQ: Istanbul Car Rental
Is it worth renting a car in Istanbul?
If you plan to stay only in the historic centre, public transport and taxis may be enough. A rental car is useful if you want to explore outer districts, go shopping or make day trips outside the city.
Is traffic in Istanbul difficult?
Traffic in Istanbul can be heavy during rush hours, especially on bridges and main highways. Plan extra time for your journeys and consider driving outside peak times.
Where is it better to pick up a car — at the airport or in the city?
Picking up a car at the airport is convenient if you need it immediately after landing. City offices are better if you plan to use a car only for part of your stay.
Can I drive a rental car from Istanbul to other regions?
Yes, most rental companies allow driving throughout Turkey. Popular routes include Istanbul–Bursa, Istanbul–Sapanca and Istanbul–Cappadocia.
