Driving in Istanbul is enjoyable, but you should be prepared for traffic and tolls. Here is the key info.
HGS/OGS bridge and motorway tolls
Bosphorus bridges and intercity motorways use HGS/OGS. Our rental cars are system-compatible; toll costs are the driver’s per usage and are communicated transparently.
Rush hours
Weekdays 07:30–10:00 and 17:00–20:00 are busy. Plan trips outside these hours where possible.
Parking
İSPARK and mall car parks are common centrally. In busy areas like the Historic Peninsula, park-and-transit is practical. For the city an economy car makes parking easier.
