Traveling by car lets you explore at your own pace. It's nice to be able to avoid congested bus or rail schedules and travel early or late.

It depends on the number of passengers and the amount of luggage each person is carrying. However, the following factors to think about before vacationing in Istanbul airport:

Size: Our major suggestion is to choose a car that is not excessively wide. There are some tiny streets when you are driving through old towns or historical villages. It will be less stressful in a narrower automobile. Audi A1 is the most well-liked model among economy classes in Istanbul airport. From EUROPCAR the daily rate for this vehicle begins at 13$.

Power: Any size car will be able to travel the entire country. However, if you choose an engine that is not the smallest, it will be more comfortable in the highlands.

The most likely model is displayed on both the search result page and on your voucher. Despite this, the automobile class is always reserved at all rental car firms because doing so is required by international rules regulating car rentals. When you get to the office, you'll be given the opportunity to select the make and model of the car you want to drive. The following is an explanation of the many classifications of cars:

On the other hand, there are some circumstances in which you will be able to reserve a specific model. In the event that such a feature can be selected, a distinct notation will be displayed next to the automobile in the list of search results.

When you pick up the vehicle, the same card must be used to guarantee the rental agreement. There are two card kinds we accept:

  • We will accept a credit card as a guarantee.
  • We will accept a debit card if purchase our Platinum Insurance plan for the duration of your rental period.
