If you’re looking for car rental at Sabiha Gökçen Airport, you’re in the right place. Sabiha Gökçen Airport (SAW) is on Istanbul’s Asian side and is the most practical choice especially for guests in Kadıköy, Üsküdar, Pendik, Kartal and Kurtköy. You collect at the terminal, with no credit card, and pay on pickup.
Why rent at Sabiha Gökçen?
Its proximity to the Asian side noticeably shortens the transfer. SAW is calmer and more orderly; baggage, passport control and exit usually move faster — reducing post-flight fatigue.
How do handover and payment work?
Share your flight number and landing time; our representative meets you at the SAW terminal and hands over the car there. Payment at handover in cash (Euro/TL) or by card. No online charge, no pre-authorisation, no credit card hold. We wait for night and delayed flights too.
From SAW to Kadıköy and the Asian side
From Sabiha Gökçen it is about 40 km to Kadıköy; Kurtköy, Pendik and Tuzla are much closer. Via bridges/motorways you can also reach the European side. SAW is also an ideal starting point for routes like Sapanca, Şile-Ağva and Bursa.
Which vehicle class?
For comfort in traffic, automatic; for budget, economy. Families 7–9 seaters, for long drives SUV. Prices include VAT.
SAW or Istanbul Airport?
For the Asian side, SAW; for the European side, Istanbul Airport (IST) is better. Pay on pickup with no credit card applies at both.
