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.

Picking Up a Car in Istanbul — The Essentials

🚗 1) Pick the Right Terms

  • Extra driver: can cost extra — check before booking.

A valid license is accepted in most of Turkey. Check if an IDP is needed.

📸 3) Drama-Free Pickup
