Car Hire in Istanbul Center

Başakşehir is a modern and rapidly growing district in northwestern Istanbul, located approximately 25 km from Taksim and 25 km from Istanbul airport (IST) via the O-7. Three rental companies operate here, and the wide boulevards and proximity to the motorway network make it easy to continue to both Thrace and central Istanbul. The district is known for well-planned residential areas, Başakşehir Living Lab and proximity to the Olympic Stadium.

The Canal Istanbul project is planned to run near the area, making Başakşehir a strategic location for future infrastructure. Use the O-7 towards the airport and avoid the D100 during rush hours. Mall of Istanbul is reached in 10 minutes' drive south and offers good parking facilities.
