Real Stories from FSTA Travellers
"Outstanding car rental experience! We rented a car and received top-notch service from start to finish. The car was in excellent condition: clean, reliable, and very well-maintained. Communication with the owner was smooth, professional, and always friendly. He was really helpful and truly went above and beyond. Highly recommended."
"FSTA made our trip smooth and enjoyable. We rented an FJ and a Tahoe, and the overall experience was excellent. Sulkan and Luka stood out with proactive and friendly communication. The cars were delivered on time, handled our travels without issue, and were picked up right on schedule. Great service and genuinely helpful people."
"FSTA rental is a well established rental company with trustworthy staff. They not only upgraded our car for free, but they also advised us on where to travel. Another nice feature about the company is the fact that they are available 24 hours a day. Once we had an incident at 3am, they were able to arrange help in the middle of nowhere."
"I was searching for a 4x4 and got one of their FJ cruisers. Was great and will definitely use them again next time. Amazing personal touch and although I didn't have any problems, I know they would have been easy to deal with. Friendly, professional company."
"I rented a Suzuki Grand Vitara and was satisfied with the experience. The car wasn't new, but it was in very good mechanical condition and worked reliably throughout the trip. Communication via WhatsApp was straightforward and they handled the airport handover at night without any issues. Good value for money."
"I recently had the pleasure of renting a vehicle from FSTA RENT CAR and I couldn't be more satisfied with the experience. The vehicle itself was in excellent condition, well-maintained, and equipped with all the necessary features for a safe and enjoyable trip. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a top-notch car rental service."
"Toyota 4Runner from FSTA Rent Car has done the job perfectly. Only real 4x4, no fake ones. Reliable car, next time I will take the same. Customer service without any problems. I took the extra service: the car was waiting directly at the airport parking."
"Wonderful experience renting a car from FSTA. This was my first time driving in a foreign country and on the right side of the road. The Pajero IO we got was well serviced and had good winter tyres. It also had 4x4 modes for tricky terrain. Smooth handover at the airport."

Whether you need a compact for navigating Beyoğlu or a comfortable SUV to drive down to Cappadocia, we hand the keys over wherever you happen to be in the city.

Car Rental Istanbul: Common Questions Answered
What travellers usually ask before picking up a rental car in Istanbul
How does booking a rental car in Istanbul work?
Choose your dates and vehicle on our site, confirm in a couple of clicks, and we hand the car over wherever suits you. You are not limited to a depot. Pick up in Istanbul, drop off in Ankara, Antalya, Izmir, or any other city. The whole process is built to skip rental counters entirely.
Which driving license is accepted for car rental in Istanbul?
Drivers from most countries can use their national license in Turkey for short stays. If your license is not in Latin script, please bring an International Driving Permit alongside it. We always recommend keeping your passport and license together when picking up the car.
What is the typical price for car hire in Istanbul?
Rates start at €30 per day with no security deposit. Every booking comes with unlimited kilometres and a free additional driver, so two people can share the wheel during long days exploring the city.
Can I pick up in Istanbul and return the car in another Turkish city?
Yes. You can collect the car anywhere in Turkey and return it in any other city. You are not limited to airports or terminals. Just select your preferred pickup and drop-off locations during booking.
Is delivery available 24 hours a day?
We meet customers anywhere in Turkey around the clock, including red-eye and early-morning flights. Just share your flight number or address when booking and we will coordinate the handover.
Which insurance options do you offer in Istanbul?
Three clear choices: Full Insurance at €29 per day for complete peace of mind, Standard Insurance at €9 per day for everyday city driving, or proceed without coverage if you prefer to use your own card or travel insurance.
What is the minimum age to rent a car in Istanbul?
Drivers must be 23 or older and hold a valid license issued at least two years before pickup. Anyone listed as a second driver needs to meet the same requirements.
Can I drive outside Istanbul to other Turkish cities?
Absolutely. Our cars are made for road trips. Cappadocia, Antalya, Izmir, the Black Sea coast, and Ankara are all on the table, and unlimited mileage means you never have to count kilometres.
Why book with FSTA instead of a global chain in Istanbul?
We are a local company with over 12 years of experience in this market, and we are the only ones that offer full off-road insurance, camping equipment, and rooftop tents all in one place. No deposit, no hidden surcharges, transparent insurance pricing, free delivery anywhere in the country, and a fleet that is genuinely maintained rather than rotated through every six months.
Do you provide child seats, GPS, or extra equipment in Istanbul?
Yes. Baby seats, booster seats, GPS units, and roof boxes are all available as add-ons during booking. Just mention what you need and we will fit it before delivery.
Which Istanbul rental cars handle longer Turkish road trips?
These vehicles from our fleet are built for distance, mountain passes, and the variety of road conditions you will meet across Turkey: Jeep Wrangler, Toyota 4Runner, Chevrolet Suburban, Chevrolet Tahoe, Toyota FJ Cruiser, Toyota RAV4, Jeep Compass, Subaru Crosstrek, Hyundai Tucson, Jeep Patriot, Jeep Renegade.
