Should you rent a car in a megacity? You should definitely do it. Not only can you explore Istanbul by car, you can also visit many great places around the city.
Sapanca Lake, a green paradise of songbirds, cherry trees, and cool spas, is only one hour and a half drive away. Two hours’ drive away is the town of Kıyıköy with an ancient Byzantine fortress, monastery, and caves where pirates used to hide. About a hundred kilometres from Istanbul is the town of Ağva with secluded beaches, green forests, and very photogenic cliffs. Half an hour away is Anadolu Lighthouse with the ancient Yoros Castle and delightful fish restaurants.
This is by no means a complete list of places of interest near Istanbul that are worth visiting by a rental car.
Good afternoon! What are the rules for transporting children?

Good evening! Do car rentals have mileage limits?
It’s different for each car, there are cars with mileage limits and with unlimited mileage. You will see this information when you open the car’s booking page. If your car has a mileage limit, it is the total for the entire rental period, i.e. you can drive more on some days and less on others. Just don’t exceed the total limit.
