Аренда авто в Стамбуле
Мы изменили название! Было Myrentacar, а стало Localrent. Все остальное остается прежним: сайт, машины, цены и отличный сервис. Новое только название. Мы надеемся, что это новое название вам понравится и запомнится лучше прошлого.
Стоит ли брать в прокат машину в городе-многомиллионнике? Однозначно – стоит. На авто можно не только осмотреть сам Стамбул, но и посетить много отличных мест в окрестностях города.
Всего полтора часа на машине отделяют вас от озера Сапанджа – зеленого рая с певчими птицами, черешневыми деревьями и классными СПА. В двух часах езды – деревня Кыйыкой: старинная Византийская крепость, монастырь и пещеры, где скрывались пираты. Городок Агве в ста километрах от Стамбула – это уединенные пляжи, зеленые леса и очень фотогеничные утесы. В получасе пути – Анадольский маяк со старинной крепостью Йорос и восхитительными рыбными ресторанчиками.
И это далеко не полный список интересных мест близ Стамбула, куда будет здорово отправиться на прокатной машине.

Особенности ПДД
Местные дороги – это четыре полосы в каждую сторону, многоуровневые развязки, очень качественное покрытие. Знаки и разметка не отличаются от европейских, они яркие и интуитивно понятные. Полосами для спецтранспорта пользоваться нельзя.
Пробки в городе бывают лишь в пятницу вечером и в понедельник утром.
Платные дороги
Скоростные автобаны, некоторые мосты и тоннели в Турции – платные. Стоимость: автобаны – 1-3€ за 100 километров, мосты через пролив Стамбула – 1-3€, мосты через пролив Дарданеллы и Мраморное море – 11-18€.
Пользоваться ими довольно просто. В машине должен быть установлен транспондер или специальная наклейка HGS. При проезде под автоматическими воротами деньги снимутся с привязанного счета.
Парковки
Парковки в городе в основном платные: муниципальные – чуть дешевле, частные – дороже.
Бесплатные места в дневное время – редкость. У магазинов и ресторанов – для потребителей услуг. Возле жилых домов ставить авто не стоит, как правило, здесь разрешено парковаться только жителям.
Заправки
В Стамбуле круглосуточно функционирует множество заправок разных брендов. Качество топлива везде одинаково высокое, разбежка цен – минимальна. Различаются заправки только дополнительными услугами. Весь этот сервис (включая саму заправку) официально ничего не стоит, но считается хорошим тоном поощрить заправщиков чаевыми – 1-2 лиры.
Мобильная связь
В стране работают два крупных провайдера: Turkcell, Vodafone, и один поменьше – Avea. Качество связи хорошее. Для того, чтобы обзавестись местной симкой, нужно заглянуть в один из офисов операторов со своим паспортом.
Garenta Istanbul Rent a Car
Istanbul Travel Guide and Car Hire
Dynamism, history, nature, culture and, of course, food! With its 15 million inhabitants, Istanbul is one of the world’s most exciting and colourful cities. We await every guest who seeks to explore and be a part of this dynamic city to the 24-hour Garenta rent a car branches offering competitive car hire services and located in the international and domestic terminals of Sabiha Gokcen Airport, Ataturk Airport, and in central locations of Istanbul such as Taksim, Kartal and Kadikoy.
If you want to travel around Istanbul and get the best out of it, we suggest that you spend at least one week here. There are many points of attraction on both the Anatolian and the European side, and all have different features that make them very attractive. Sultanahmet, Hagia Sophia, The Archaeological Museum, Kapali Carsi (The Grand Bazaar) and Misir Carsisi (The Spice Market) on the historical peninsula; shopping in Nisantasi, Karakoy and Galata, along with the world class shopping malls of Istanbul and Adalar; and Bebek or Caddebostan for a walk by the sea are some places you must add to your Istanbul travel guide.
The surroundings of Istanbul are home to treasures hidden amid nature that you can visit via your rental car. Among the most renowned are Polonezkoy, Kiyikoy, Kerpe, Kefken, Murefte, Sapanca and Masukiye.
Information about Istanbul
Istanbul is approximately 450 km from the capital city of Turkey, Ankara, and 470 km to Izmir. There are two airports in the city: Sabiha Gokcen Airport on the Anatolian side; and Ataturk Airport on the European side. You can rent a car from Garenta branches at both of the airports and head to the centre. The third airport construction is ongoing, and is planned to be completed in 2018.
Climate of Istanbul
Located in the Marmara Region, Istanbul is fortunate to have a climate of four seasons. Spring, especially, is an ideal time to plan travel to Istanbul. From the second week of April till mid-June, you can visit all Istanbul’s attractions while witnessing nature’s transformation in the perfect spring weather. The summer season is rather hot in Istanbul, and when the thermometer hits 40°C, it may feel even warmer. Don’t forget your sunglasses, hat and sun cream.
The best answer to the question of “when to travel to Istanbul” depends on your preference of which colours you want to see. The autumn colours of Istanbul are definitely worthwhile: this beautiful period running from from mid-September till the end of November is the ideal time to experience autumn in Istanbul. There is a high possibility of cold weather and snow in the winter. If you want to rent a car in Istanbul in the winter, we strongly advise you to check the weather and, if snow is forecast, we suggest that you choose vehicles with 4-wheel drive.
Roads of Istanbul
There is a developed highway network in Istanbul. The 15 Temmuz Sehitler Bridge, Fatih Sultan Mehmet Bridge, Yavuz Sultan Selim Bridge, Avrasya Tunnel and some highways have tolls. All vehicles you will rent from Sabiha Gökçen Airport domestic and international terminals, Ataturk Airport domestic and international terminals, and Garenta Taksim Rent a Car, Garenta Kartal Rent a Car, and Garenta Kadıköy Rent a Car offices are equipped with HGS (fast pass service) or OGS (automatic pass service), enabling you to pass from these roads.
Instead of using the bridges or the tunnel for getting from the Anatolian side to the European side or from the European side to the Asian side, you can use the ferry boats departing from Harem or Sirkeci. Also, if you want to risk arriving at your destination somewhat later, you can choose to traverse the toll-free highway or the coastal roads.
When to go to Istanbul?
You can determine your travel to Istanbul based on the weather or the events you follow. Climate wise, we believe that the most ideal months to travel to Istanbul are April, May, June, September and October. However, cultural, arts and sporting events in Istanbul take place throughout the year. Soundgarden at Kilyos, Chill-Out at Sariyer, Burn Electropol Festival at Maslak are listed among some of the city’s best festivals, and easily reachable with your rental car.
What to buy in Istanbul?
There are many products that make ideal gifts from Istanbul. For products exclusive to Istanbul, you can visit the Grand Bazaar and Galata. Souvenirs with Turkish and Ottoman motifs, jewellery, fabrics, hammam sets, leather handbags, shawls, baklava (some of the larger companies, and at the Spice Market, provide packaging services suitable for long flights or other transport), and the Nazar (evil eye talisman) are among the many gifts you can buy.
Points of Attraction in Istanbul
Most of the historical places you must see in Istanbul are located on the European side in the region known as the Historical Peninsula. If you are coming from the Asian side, we advise you to park your car close to the ferry terminal, take the ferry to Eminonu, and then take the tram or walk; car use in the Historical Peninsula is very limited.
All the sites below can be visited on the same day and on foot as they are very close to each other:
The Grand Bazaar and the Spice Market are designed in such a way that one follows the other. We advise you to allow 3-4 hours to visit these markets as they cover a wide area.
On the other side of the Golden Horn’s shore, Karakoy and Taksim await you. We can say that the heart of Istanbul beats in Taksim and on Istiklal Street. However, if you would like to visit and enjoy the most modern cafes of the city, you can head to the side streets of Karakoy.
Kadikoy and Moda in the Anatolian side are among the must-see places. Especially in Moda, there are cafes as modern and attractive as the ones in Karakoy. If you wish, you can buy your coffee, go to the coastal part of Moda and savour your drink in the parks while enjoying the sea view. In many parts of Istanbul, there are car parks managed by the municipality or privately, so you can always park your rental car in the nearest car park and then continue to explore the streets of the city on foot.
It is difficult to answer the question of where to eat in Istanbul because every part of the city offers exciting restaurants and even street food. If you are by the sea, consider a fish sandwich. In addition to traditional dishes such as kebab, meatballs and rice varieties, there are venues that serve the most delicious international favourites like pizzas, pasta and hamburgers.

Driving in and around Istanbul
Istanbul’s sheer size – and that of Turkey too – means car rental can really help you to make the most of your visit. You’ll be driving on the right, and speed limits will be signposted. They are 74mph (120kph) on freeways, 55mph (90kph) outside built-up areas and 30mph (50kph) in built-up areas. Seat belts are compulsory.
You’ll find many toll roads in Turkey, and you can only pay by use of a sticker on your screen – our local team will be happy to help you with this. For a full breakdown of driving laws in Turkey, check out a guide online.
As an ancient city, Istanbul’s roads can be narrow, with many one-way systems in operation. On-street parking is hard to find, so you’re advised to make use of your hotel’s parking facilities or pay to use a parking lot or garage. If you plan on visiting the city’s historic Sultanahmet area, please note that some 295 streets there have been pedestrianized, so it’s best to park up and explore the area on foot.
The size and shape of Istanbul means it doesn’t really lend itself to having a ring road, but it instead has three beltways, the innermost being the Otoyol 1 or O-1, while the O-2 is the outer beltway. The partially open O-6 is even further out, covering the northern sections of the city.
If you plan on getting out of Istanbul to see more of Turkey, the E80 is a vast European road that goes both west to the border with Greece and Bulgaria, but also heads east across the northern parts of Turkey.
For Ankara, drive east on the E80 from Istanbul before swinging south on the E89. The E881 runs south to Turkey’s west coast, while the holiday resorts ofAntalya can be reached via the D650, albeit after an 8-hour drive.
A quick guide to Istanbul
Many of Istanbul’s most fascinating sights have been wonderfully preserved over the years. The legacy of the Byzantines and Ottomans is writ large here, and you can lose weeks seeing all that this diverse and complex city has to offer you.
The soaring Sophia
One of the world’s great buildings, the Hagia Sophia (or Aya Sofya), was first constructed in the 6 th Century and served as an Eastern Orthodox and then a Roman Catholic cathedral before the Ottomans, under Mehmet the Conqueror, turned it into a mosque in 1453.
It was converted into a secular building from 1931 and has served as a stunning museum since 1935. For its first 1,000 years it was the world’s largest cathedral, noted for its vast and impressive dome. Packed full of gold mosaics and breath-taking ancient art, it’s the city’s crowning glory.
Another of Mehmet’s project was Topkapi Palace, where he lived for some years. It housed many sultans after him, but is now open to the public. You’ll see weaponry from the middle ages, rococo fountains, Turkish baths Chinese porcelain and gorgeous grounds.
Bounty of the bazaars
No visit to Istanbul would be complete without time spent at the vibrant bazaars. The Grand Bazaar was first instituted by Mehmet in 1461, and has grown to become a sprawling place where you can find anything and everything. Wander the labyrinths to see artisans creating things in front of your eyes, join locals for tea and don’t forget that you’re expected to haggle for a bargain.
The water of life
A cistern might not be top of the list of most visitor attractions, but the Basilica Cistern is a truly splendid thing to see. Built in the 6 th century AD to supply water from Thrace, it was ignored and forgotten until a recent renovation.
Imposing columns hold the ceiling aloft, while music and lights add atmosphere. Watch out for the fish that swim around the columns, and a sign of early recycling – the upside-down head of Medusa used as a column when the Byzantines tore down Roman temples.
For an unbeatable view of Istanbul, head for the Galata Tower. There is a lift most of the way, although you’ll need to climb one flight of stairs at the very top. Arrive early to skip the lines and to see an unparalleled vista from the viewing platform of this 14 th century building.
With its ancient wonders, its melding of disparate cultures and its relentless energy, Istanbul stands out as one of the great cities of the world.
