About Renting a Car at Istanbul Sanayi

The Sanayi district in Pendik on the Asian side of Istanbul is an industrial area located just 5 km from Sabiha Gökçen airport and 40 km from Taksim. With 2 rental companies, it's a practical option for travelers arriving at SAW who want a car ready nearby. The area is characterized by industry and logistics but is strategically located on the E80 with quick access to Gebze (10 km) and Izmir (45 km).

Pendik Beach and Pendik Marina are just 3 km to the south for those wanting to combine a business trip with leisure. Heavy truck traffic on the E80 in the morning can delay journeys – plan departure after 09:00. Check opening hours carefully as rental companies in industrial areas sometimes close early on Fridays.

Fuel stations are easily accessible along the E80. How far is it from Sanayi to Sabiha Gökçen? Only 5 km, normally 8–12 minutes' drive via local roads.

Is it possible to rent a car with delivery to the airport? Contact the rental companies directly – some offer pickup at SAW as an additional service. What do highway tolls cost in the area?

The HGS system is used on Turkish motorways – most rental companies include an HGS transponder, check this when booking.

We compare prices from all major providers at Istanbul Sanayi so you can see the total cost upfront — including insurance, fuel terms and any extras. Most bookings include free cancellation up to 48 hours before pickup, giving you flexibility if your plans change.
