About Renting a Car at Istanbul Umraniye
Rent a car in Ümraniye – one of Istanbul's fastest-growing business districts on the Asian side, with 5 rental companies to choose from. Ümraniye is approximately 20 km northeast of Kadıköy and is a hub for tech companies and shopping centers like Mall of Istanbul Asia. Sabiha Gökçen airport is reached at approximately 30 km (25–35 min via TEM).
Ümraniye borders Üsküdar (8 km to the south) and Çekmeköy (10 km to the east). The district houses Meydan Shopping Center and Capacity AVM, as well as Ümraniye State Hospital. The TEM highway runs through the area and provides quick connection to both the European side and the Ankara highway.
The TEM highway through Ümraniye is toll-based – have an HGS card or ask the rental company if the car is equipped with electronic toll collection. Avoid Şile Boulevard during rush hours as queues can be long. If you're planning a day trip to Şile and the Black Sea coast (45 km to the north), Ümraniye is a perfect starting point.
Is Ümraniye easy to navigate with a rental car? Yes, Ümraniye has a relatively modern road network compared to central Istanbul, but the TEM highway can be congested during rush hours. How far is it from Ümraniye to the Bosporus bridges?
Fatih Sultan Mehmet Bridge (FSM) is approximately 8 km to the west, roughly 15–20 minutes by car. Can I pick up a car in Ümraniye and return it at Sabiha Gökçen? Yes, many rental companies offer this option for an additional fee.
