38 Car Rental Brands at Istanbul Airport (IST)

Upon arrival, the rental company 'essence' was nowhere to be found—it turned out to be HDY Everyday. After searching for quite a while, the instructions on QEEQ were unclear. Getting in and out of the terminal required passing through security checks. The promised pre-authorization was changed to an actual payment, and the rental contract was in Turkish, leaving me with no choice but to sign it. Getting the car involved going to a large parking lot across the street at another rental company, which was not easy. The car itself was in very good condition.

Not bad, it is part of Everyday, a red-branded company.

Since it's a small company without a storefront, there was no queue. I received one-on-one dedicated service. The only minor issue was a discussion over currency conversion fees when paying, but everything else was satisfactory.

Car pick-up was easy and straightforward. A company representative met us at the arrivals hall and took us directly to the parking lot opposite. After verifying and inspecting the car, we received the keys. No unnecessary questions or explanations about operating the vehicle. They just informed us that the car had no gas and could only drive for about 10 kilometers. We also had to pay the parking fee ourselves when leaving the lot. I asked the parking attendant where the nearest gas station was, but he didn't speak English. Without further ado, I drove out of the airport, avoiding highways and overpasses, sticking to surface roads to find a gas station. I stopped on the side of the road and flagged down a taxi to ask the driver. He didn't know either. Just when I was about to despair, a passenger in the taxi told me to follow him. People in Islamic countries are actually very friendly, haha.

I chose this company because of the high ratings from other customers and the feedback mentioning no upselling practices. As it is an international chain and the car options matched my preference, it seemed like a good choice.
Since I have rented cars in many countries before, including in Azerbaijan and Georgia in May, I naturally make comparisons.
Overall, it was pretty good. There was upselling, but it wasn’t pushy. Both car pickup and return were very convenient. Extending the rental by one day was no issue at all.

The entire experience was excellent, straightforward and hassle-free. They explained the accident handling process clearly when I purchased full insurance, without any extra sales push. I voluntarily opted to add the no-police-report full coverage insurance for single accidents, which was reasonably priced at 10 euros per day.

It was an excellent car rental experience. The car rental company showed a SEAT model, but upon picking it up, I realized it was actually a Peugeot 5008. The car was easy to drive, a diesel vehicle with great power and uphill ability. It had spacious interior space, with the trunk able to hold four large suitcases and even some small backpacks. The vehicle was very new, and it performed wonderfully during the 2800+ kilometers of our road trip. The staff at the rental company were also very attentive. Overall, I’m extremely grateful and very happy with this car rental experience.

There is no storefront at the airport, only pick-up service is provided. With the help of QEEQ's customer service, I successfully picked up the car. The vehicle was in overall good condition with an intact paint finish, and the inspection needs to be thorough. While driving on snowy roads, the front bumper had a minor scratch on the lower left side, and I had to compensate when returning the car. Negotiating the compensation is possible; the initial asking price was 250 euros, but settled at 100 euros, comparable to paint repairs in domestic settings. Though the rental company is small, it operates professionally, with the main challenge being the language barrier. Tolls on highways are deducted directly from the 900-euro deposit. I was stopped by police in Nevşehir for speeding—110 km limit exceeded at 138 km—and fined 4500 liras. The payment was made the next day at the tax office of Safranbolu municipality. Paying within 15 days allows a 75% discount, but they only accept cash. In winter, it's recommended to take main roads, as rural paths suggested by Google Maps could have snow and ice buildup, posing safety risks.

Make sure to insist on receiving the vehicle you booked or one of the same class. We had booked a compact MPV because we had a lot of luggage. Initially, the company told us there was an issue with the car we chose and offered a downgraded Opel Crossland as a replacement, which we agreed to. However, upon arrival at the airport, we were presented with a red Citroën C4, claiming that the agreed Opel vehicle also had issues. The trunk of the Citroën couldn't fit the luggage for four people, forcing us to negotiate with the platform to switch to a same-class vehicle in Izmir. Although the process started with some complications, the trip became very enjoyable after switching cars. Finally, when picking up the car, take a 360-degree video to thoroughly document the car's condition to avoid any disputes when returning it.

We were given a Fiat CROSS, which is similar to an SUV and a station wagon. The tires are bigger than those of a regular sedan, and the chassis is slightly higher. The diesel engine is powerful and fuel-efficient. The car was very new, with only 5,500 kilometers on the odometer. We drove 3,500 kilometers with an average fuel consumption of 5 liters per 100 kilometers. There was a small paint chip about the size of a fingernail on the front hood, which was already noted on the delivery form when we picked up the car. The return inspection was very simple and completed within a few minutes.

The car I got was not the model shown in my booking. I had to drive back to pick up point to request to change to another car after picking up the car as alert "Low Tyre Pressure" was lit on car's control panel. Later, the car they replaced was in very dusty and dirt condition. In addition, alert "ad blue low level" was lit and I have to refill the ad blue by myself on my way after driving the replaced car for a few hours. Fortunately, the rest of all was working fine.
