About Renting a Car at Istanbul Altunizade
Altunizade is an affluent business district on the Asian side of Istanbul, located in the Üsküdar district right at the foot of the Bosphorus Bridge. With 1 car rental company on site, it's a practical option if you live or have meetings in this part of the city. The location provides quick access to the E-5 motorway and the Bosphorus bridges.
Altunizade is approximately 5 km south of Kadıköy and 3 km from Üsküdar's ferry terminal. From here, you can reach Istanbul's European side via the Bosphorus Bridge in 10–15 minutes in normal traffic. Bağlarbaşı and Acıbadem with restaurants and shopping centers are within 2 km.
Avoid driving during rush hours 07:30–09:30 and 17:00–19:30 – queues at the Bosphorus Bridge can double your travel time. Parking in Altunizade is limited; choose a hotel or office with a parking garage. Use the HGS bridge toll system for smoother bridge passages.
