Plan the Istanbul Airport handover before arrival
Istanbul Airport is an airport pickup starting point. Airport pickup suits an immediate coast or touring route; delay collection when the opening stay is central and the car would remain parked. The selected voucher remains the source for the exact desk, meeting point, opening hours, deposit and return instructions.
Official Istanbul Airport informationBefore leaving arrivals
Use the voucher to find the correct terminal, rental centre or shuttle stop; do not assume every supplier uses the same building or collection route.
Check the terminal, rental desk or shuttle on the voucher because airport collection arrangements can differ by supplier. Keep the booking number and delayed-arrival contact available until the keys are collected.
Allow for airport traffic, fuel, photographs and the exact terminal or depot return route. Photograph the car, fuel level, wheels and existing marks at collection and return.
Arrival decision
Istanbul Airport: collect now or later?
