How old do you have to be to rent a car in Istanbul?
Drivers 21 and above can road trip around Istanbul in a rental vehicle. If you're a young renter, a daily surcharge applies. You'll usually have fewer car categories to pick from, such as economy and mid-size, and may also have to purchase inclusive insurance. Be sure to enter the correct age of the main driver when booking to learn if any restrictions or surcharges apply.
What do you need to rent a car in Istanbul?
Generally, you'll need a current driver's license and credit card in your name when picking up the car. You may also need your own proof of coverage if you decide to opt out of the company's insurance plan. These requirements may differ between rental providers, so it's wise to check before you book.
Can I drive in Istanbul with my U.S. Driver's license?
Yes, you can. The streets of Istanbul are waiting for you and your current U.S. License is all you need to cruise down them. Before your trip, we suggest applying for an International Driving Permit as another useful identity document.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Istanbul?
Yes, which means you won't have to rebook a rental car in the middle of your vacation. Head over to our long-term car rental deals page, enter your trip details and reserve a ride to call your own for the next month or so.
Where can I find an Istanbul car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to look up the age policy of the Istanbul rental suppliers you're considering. If you're under 25, be aware that some will charge additional costs. It's ideal to know about this before collecting the vehicle so you can budget accordingly. Each rental car company has its own policies for young drivers, so it pays to do your research.
