4x4 Rental in Istanbul, Turkey

For this 4x4 rental, our first day from Istanbul was much calmer because FSTA treated pickup as part of the route. They discussed Bosphorus-side traffic, bags, and timing before handing over the keys. The city-specific part was dense city traffic, toll-road exits, long highway days, and mountain weather on Black Sea or eastern routes.
