Rent a Car in Istanbul Kadikoy

Kadıköy is the Asian side of Istanbul's most vibrant district, known for its markets, cafés, and nightlife. With a rental car from Kadıköy, you reach motorway E-5 in 5 minutes and Sabiha Gökçen airport (SAW) in approximately 35 km, 30–40 minutes. The Bosporus Bridge can be reached in 15–20 minutes to the north.

Kadıköy borders Üsküdar to the north and the Moda Peninsula to the south with views towards the Prince Islands. Mısır Çarşısı (the spice market) and the colorful street markets are a must. The ferry terminal in the harbor offers quick connections to Eminönü in 20 minutes.

Park the car and take the ferry to the European side – faster and cheaper than driving across the bridge. Drive south towards Bostancı (8 km) to take a ferry to the Prince Islands. Avoid Kadıköy center with a car on weekends – parking is chaotic and streets are overcrowded.
