Good to know about car rental in Istanbul Sabiha Gokcen Airport


Once you have landed in Istanbul and picked up your rental car from the designated office at Istanbul Airport, we wish you a safe and delightful journey.

For those navigating Istanbul's roads for the first time, take a moment to get acquainted with the vehicle, understand Turkey's traffic regulations, and plan your routes.

In Turkey, driving is on the right-hand side. A valid driving license from your home country is required, and depending on your country of origin, you may also need an International Driving Permit (IDP).

Istanbul is known for its busy traffic conditions, especially during peak times, and adverse weather can further complicate driving conditions. Additionally, while exploring rural areas outside of Istanbul, roads may be less maintained, and encountering cyclists and slower vehicles is common, thus requiring caution.

The speed limits in Turkey are generally 50 km/h in urban areas, 90 km/h on secondary roads, and 120 km/h on highways, subject to change based on road conditions and signage.

Fuel stations are readily available in the city and along major highways, but it's wise to monitor your fuel level when traveling to more remote areas of the country.

If you need help while in Istanbul, don't hesitate to contact our office. In an emergency, the national emergency number is 112.
