Where can I go on a road trip from Istanbul?
Istanbul is full of fun adventures, but don't limit yourself to only one place. Pick up a set of wheels and hit the road to explore the surrounding region. Here are a few places to choose from:

  • You'll discover Uludag Ski Center and countless other intriguing sights in Bursa. From Istanbul, it's around 55 miles away.
  • Why not enjoy the wonders of Eskişehir too? Popular tourist attractions in this happening city include Espark Shopping Center. Eskişehir is roughly 120 miles from Istanbul.
  • Spend time in the great outdoors and appreciate the serenity at Kadifekale. You'll find it roughly 200 miles from Istanbul.

How do I find the best car rental deals in Istanbul with Expedia?
Getting an amazing deal on your Istanbul rental car is easy with Expedia. Choose your preferred ride, add in a few more details and compare the offers from big-name suppliers. Why not add hotels and flights to your booking? You'll unlock terrific discounts when you create a vacation package.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Istanbul?
Drivers aged 21 and above can go road-tripping around Istanbul in a rental car. If you're a young driver, a daily surcharge will apply. You'll generally have fewer car categories to select from, such as compact and mid-size, and may also be required to take out inclusive insurance. Always enter the correct age of the primary driver when booking to find out if any extra fees or restrictions apply.
What do you need to rent a car in Istanbul?
Your driver's license and a credit card in the same name are essentials. Opting out of the company's insurance plan? In that case, you're also likely to need proof of your own coverage. Requirements may differ between rental companies, so be sure to read through your policy.
What side of the road do you drive on in Istanbul?
In Istanbul and around Türkiye, people drive on the right side of the road. While this is the same as in the U.S, you'll need to be mindful of any different driving rules.
What is the cheapest car rental in Istanbul?
With car rental prices starting from just $35 and $42 a day in Istanbul within the past seven days, you'll be zooming off with your own fantastic deal in next to no time. These rates were available on Expedia, with a rental starting date within the next year. Prices and availability are subject to change and additional terms apply.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Istanbul?
Yes, and you can find your ideal wheels among our long-term car rental deals. Simply enter your trip information and we'll list amazing options from various top companies.
Where can I find an Istanbul car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to investigate the age policy of the Istanbul rental providers you're interested in. If you're under 25 years of age, some outlets will charge additional costs. It's better to know this before arriving at the desk so you can have the funds ready. Every rental car company has its own terms and conditions for young drivers, so it's smart to do your research.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Istanbul?
It's a wise idea to have collision protection to safeguard your Istanbul car rental against theft, vandalism and accident damage. And with Expedia, you can easily purchase this insurance for your vehicle during the booking process. Providing up to $35,000 in primary coverage, it also offers 24-hour emergency support and no deductible should you need to make a claim. Change of plans? If you cancel your insurance before your scheduled collection time, you'll receive a complete refund.
Can I drive in Istanbul with my current driver's license?
If you don't hold a driver's license issued in Türkiye, then you may need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your place of residence in order to rent a car. It's also important to note that if you do need an IDP, it won't be valid on its own. You'll have to show your current license your passport and other forms of identification as well. Lastly, it's important that the credit card used to book the rental matches the name on your license and passport. A few other things to note for international car rentals are:

  • Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or older in many countries to rent a car. If you're younger, it may still be possible to rent a car but you'll have to pay a Young Driver's Surcharge. Additional restrictions may also apply to what kinds of cars you can rent.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the rules and regulations before getting behind the wheel. You typically can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or go off-roading with your rental car.
