You can arrive in Istanbul via two major airports. Which is better for renting depends on your stay and plan.

Choice by location

For European-side stays (Taksim, Sultanahmet), Istanbul Airport (IST) fits better. For the Asian side (Kadıköy, Pendik), Sabiha Gökçen (SAW) is much closer.

Route and out-of-town plan

For Sapanca, Bursa, Şile-Ağva, SAW is favourable; for the European side and Thrace, IST.

Availability and price

Both: price incl. VAT, pay on pickup, no credit card. Same pricing logic; small differences from availability.
