Question 11

Can I drive near Istanbul (IST) with my current driver's license?

Accepted Answer

If you don't hold a driver's license issued in Türkiye, then it's likely you'll need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country to be allowed to rent a car. You should also be aware that if you do need an IDP, it won't be valid on its own. You'll need to show your driver's license from your home country your passport and other forms of identification as well. Lastly, it's important that the credit card used to book the rental vehicle matches the name on your license and passport. Some additional requirements for international car rentals are:

Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 or over in many countries to rent a car. If you're younger than that, 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 the types of vehicles available to rent.
Driving limitations: Make sure you read the rules and regulations before you drive off the lot. Typically, you can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or off road with a rental vehicle.
