Beylikduzu Car Rental

Beylikduzu is a large, fast-grown residential district on the western edge of Istanbul's European side, on the Sea of Marmara between Avcilar to the east and Buyukcekmece to the west, with Esenyurt to the north. Home to over 400,000 people, it is a district of apartment complexes, shopping malls and parks rather than sights, and it also neighbours the TUYAP Fair and Congress Centre.

People rent here when they are visiting family, staying near TUYAP for a trade fair, working in the western business districts, or using Beylikduzu as a base for trips to the Thrace coast. The Metrobus gets you into the city without a car, but Beylikduzu car rental saves a lot of time for airport runs, family trips with luggage and anything off the D-100 corridor.

Otorento compares cars from independent rental suppliers in Beylikduzu and the neighbouring districts. Economy, automatic, SUV and larger family cars can be compared by mileage allowance, fuel policy and deposit; prices and availability depend on dates, car group and supplier.

Location and getting around

Approximate road distances from the area around Beylikduzu Municipality:

Roads: the D-100 (E-5) runs straight through the district and is the main route east along the coast to Avcilar, Bakirkoy and the old city. For Istanbul Airport, drivers usually cut across at Avcilar to the TEM motorway (O-3) and turn north at Mahmutbey. Westbound, the D-100 and the TEM both lead on towards Buyukcekmece, Silivri and Tekirdag.

Metrobus: the Metrobus was extended to Beylikduzu in 2012, and its western terminus, Beylikduzu Sondurak (also called TUYAP), is here. It runs on dedicated lanes along the D-100 to Zincirlikuyu and over the Bosphorus to Sogutlucesme on the Asian side.

Tolls: the motorways, Bosphorus bridges and the Eurasia Tunnel are charged electronically via HGS. Rental cars usually carry an HGS tag; the supplier settles the tolls and charges them to you after the rental.

Picking up your car

For Beylikduzu car rental, the pick-up point is decided by the supplier you book. It may be a local office, an agreed car park or delivery to your hotel or address, and you will find the exact details and a contact number in your booking confirmation. If you are attending a fair at TUYAP, ask about handover at your hotel rather than at the busy fair entrance.

• Documents: a driving licence, your passport and a credit card in the main driver's name for the deposit. Each supplier sets its own deposit and age rules, shown before you pay.

• Foreign licence: you can drive in Turkey on your own licence for six months after arrival; some suppliers also require an International Driving Permit.

• Returning elsewhere: drop-off at Istanbul Airport or in another city is available from some suppliers for an extra fee.

All Beylikduzu car hire bookings on Otorento include free cancellation and 24/7 support.

Driving and parking tips

• The D-100 between Beylikduzu and Avcilar is one of the city's busiest stretches at rush hour; allow extra time eastbound in the morning and westbound in the evening.

• Large trade fairs at TUYAP bring heavy traffic and full car parks around the Metrobus terminus; check the fair calendar before you plan your route.

• Most residential complexes have gated parking for residents only. The big shopping malls offer the easiest short-term parking.

• Local addresses are often reached from the D-100 side roads (yanyol) rather than the main carriageway; move into the side road early so you do not miss your exit.
