Best car rental prices in Istanbul
Bookingauto (Istanbul) strives to make your car rental experience as simple and convenient as possible. This also applies to the location of rental points. Our clients can pick up cars in the most popular places, whether it be the city centre, airport, or main railway station. The list of our pick-up locations is extensive, meaning that visitors who book cars with us in Istanbul can always collect them from the most suitable place.
Options and possibilities:
We take into account the preferences of our customers and look for a car that fits into the right category. For example, those who come to Istanbul on their own or with a small company can rent a spectacular convertible Mercedes E Cabrio from us, starting at €42 per day and rented out by the popular company sixt in Istanbul. For those of you who arrive with your whole family or friends, a roomy and reliable minivan Mercedes Viano might be best - from €51 per day. For anyone who loves comfort and doesn’t have limited funds, budget recommends opting for a business class car like Nissan Maxima for €79 per day. For those travelling on a budget, rent a compact model Ford Fiesta for just €21 per day.
Select the exact date and time for picking up and returning the car:
If you want to save money, choose the same pick-up and return time. Car rental companies charge for a full day of rent, so if you rent a car for 25 hours, you pay for 48 hours (two full days), and 73 hours would be equivalent to four full days of rent.

The dynamics of price changes depending on the season
During the high season in summer, car rental in Istanbul costs 20-30% more than at other times. For example, renting the Renault Talisman popular in Istanbul costs €33 per day in July. In autumn, you’d pay about €8 for the same model.
During the holidays, the demand for car rental is very high, which is reflected in both the price and the choice of available cars. Therefore, you should book in advance if possible.
Highest summer price for convertibles. For example, a Mercedes E Cabrio is offered at €42 per day.
Among budget models, the most demanded in Istanbul is the Ford Fiesta. The sixt company rents it out for €21 per day.
For lovers of comfortable driving, you will also have to pay an increased price for business class cars – a Nissan Maxima will cost about €79 per day.
With the arrival of autumn, demand gradually decreases and this is reflected in costs. For example, a VW Tiguan at this time can be rented for just €32 per day.
Fans of exclusive car models also find it easier to fulfill their requests in the autumn months. For example, in Istanbul, you can easily rent a BMW X5 to travel in style through the streets of the beautiful city. Rest assured that the memories of these drives will linger in your imagination for a long time.
