  • The HavaBus bus line is a shuttle between Ataturk Airport and Taksim Square. It also runs from the airport to the Yenikapi Feribot Terminali. You can also take the ferry to Taksim Square.
  • The iETT bus line is a more economical option than the Havaist coaches. However, iETT buses do not have as much space for luggage. The iETT line runs six routes, as of August 2022.

When going on vacation, renting a car in Istanbul airport gives you the freedom to go wherever you want, whenever you want, and on your own schedule. Because of this, it is virtually always a smart decision to get behind the wheel.It is always beneficial to have the freedom to travel during times that are less likely to be crowded on public transportation, such as early in the morning or late at night, should you find that to be more convenient.

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. Toyota Aygo is the most well-liked model among economy classes in Istanbul airport. From EUROPCAR the daily rate for this vehicle begins at 12$.

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.

According to the rental policies of all car rental agencies, you can book the vehicle's essential features, but not a specific model. Because a specific model can break, be involved in an accident, be held by the prior tenant, etc. Your voucher will have a code that specifies the major parameters (e.g. CDAR). The following table provides code decoding:
