Compare 80+ cars for 30+ days — Istanbul city, Asian side & Istanbul Airport (IST) pickup.
From €19/day • Free additional driver • Unlimited mileage
Arriving at Istanbul Airport (IST)? Most partners offer meet-and-greet service directly at arrivals — simply look for our representative with a name board near Terminal exits. For guests settling into Istanbul city centre or Asian side districts for a month or more, we coordinate local pickup near Taksim or direct long-term hotel/Airbnb delivery, eliminating repeated taxi transfers and simplifying your extended Marmara stay logistics.
Travellers planning multi-base Marmara itineraries (e.g., 2 weeks in Istanbul, 2 weeks in Bursa) can often arrange flexible monthly pickup at IST with mid-contract location changes — ideal for slow travel across the region. Pro tip: If your first week focuses on settling into Sultanahmet apartments or exploring Beyoğlu cafes, consider activating your monthly rental on day 8 for independent exploration of Belgrad Forest or the historic city of Bursa. This optimises your budget and gives flexibility to adjust plans based on weather or local advice from your Istanbul property host. All monthly handovers include a digital vehicle inspection via WhatsApp, plus scheduled maintenance reminders for rentals exceeding 30 days.
Base monthly rates in Istanbul start at €19/day for economy models when booking 30+ days — a 40% discount versus daily rates. Weekly rentals (7–29 days) receive 10–15% off. All monthly contracts include unlimited mileage, free additional driver, and mandatory third-party liability insurance. Optional Full Coverage (removing excess liability) is available at a discounted monthly rate — especially popular for travellers collecting at Istanbul Airport (IST).
| Vehicle Class | Example Model | Monthly Rate (30+ days) | Best For Extended Marmara Stays |
|---|---|---|---|
| Economy | Fiat Egea / Renault Clio | €19/day (€570/month) | Istanbul city living, short hops to Sultanahmet & Bosphorus |
| Comfort | VW Polo / Toyota Corolla | €28–42/day (€840–1260/month) | Regular trips to Princes' Islands ferry ports, automatic for heavy traffic |
| SUV | Nissan Qashqai / Dacia Duster | €48/day (€1440/month) | Belgrad Forest roads, Asian side hills & unpaved viewpoint access |
| Minivan | Mercedes Vito | €75/day (€2250/month) | Groups or families on extended stays exploring Istanbul museums + Bursa day trips |
| Premium | Mercedes C-Class | €65/day (€1950/month) | Business relocations, Bosphorus cruising in style along the European side |
Istanbul Monthly Savings: Book 14+ days ahead for early-bird rates during peak seasons. All monthly contracts include one free additional driver, complimentary child seats/GPS, and quarterly maintenance checks. Winter tyre chains (Dec–Feb for mountain trips) are included on request. Payment is due at vehicle collection in Istanbul city or Istanbul Airport — no pre-charges or hidden fees.
While monthly rentals offer exceptional value for extended stays, there are scenarios where shorter terms make more sense. If your Istanbul visit is strictly under 10 days with visits only to the Sultanahmet, Taksim and waterfront parks, the excellent metro, tram and ferry network is often faster and cheaper than daily rental + parking fees in the historic peninsula. Similarly, if you're visiting solely for a short business conference in the Levent financial district, hotel shuttles or corporate transfers may be more efficient than a full monthly contract.
Another exception: highly flexible itineraries with uncertain return dates. Monthly contracts require a fixed 30-day minimum; if your plans may change significantly, consider our flexible weekly option with free cancellation up to 24h before pickup. However, if you plan even two independent weeks exploring the Bosphorus, Belgrad Forest, or the Asian side heritage route, a monthly car quickly pays for itself in discounted daily rates, unlimited mileage, and access to hidden Marmara coves not served by public transport.
Economy cars like the Fiat Egea are ideal for navigating Istanbul's historic streets and short hops to the Sultanahmet or Bosphorus viewpoints on a budget. For monthly coastal routes towards Princes' Islands ferry ports or multi-week trips along the D100 towards Bursa and Sapanca, we recommend Comfort or SUV models like the Toyota Corolla for smooth highway driving in heavy traffic. Families settling into Asian side districts for a month often prefer minivans for luggage capacity and comfort during frequent day trips to Belgrad Forest or Bosphorus coastal drives — all available with monthly discounts and free extra driver.

The monthly car collection process is simple and takes just 10–15 minutes. Here's how it works:
The return location can be the same as pickup or in another city — if this option is available for monthly bookings.
❗ What to bring for monthly pickup:
Yes, national driving licences with Latin script are valid in Turkey for up to 6 months from entry. An International Driving Permit is not always required but recommended for some nationalities. Monthly option available with standard insurance inclusion.
To collect your monthly vehicle you'll need a passport, a valid driving licence, and a debit/credit card for identity verification. Additional requirements depend on the specific monthly offer.
Monthly car collection is possible in Istanbul city centre, at your hotel/Airbnb or via delivery from Istanbul Airport (IST) — available options depend on the chosen provider and contract length.
Before your rental starts you can modify your monthly booking — adjust dates, pickup city or car class. You can cancel or change details if at least 24 hours remain before the rental start date.
The minimum rental period for monthly discounts is 30 days. For shorter stays (7–29 days), weekly discounts of 10–15% apply instead.
Yes, transmission type is selected during booking. Our catalogue includes monthly cars with both manual and automatic transmissions — automatic is recommended for Istanbul traffic and Bosphorus bridge crossings during extended stays.
In some cases, returning the monthly car in another city is possible (e.g., pick up in Istanbul, return in Bursa). This option depends on the specific provider's terms and your chosen route — contact support to arrange.
Generally, taking a monthly rental car outside Turkey is not permitted. Exceptions are possible only by prior agreement with the provider and additional insurance.
In some Istanbul locations, car rental with a driver is available for guided heritage tours on extended stays. Availability and format depend on the selected monthly offer.
In case of an accident or technical issue, contact the provider using the details in your monthly voucher. They will guide you through next steps and provide assistance — 24/7 support available across Istanbul region for long-term customers.
