Chery Tiggo 7 Pro Rental in Istanbul — SUV, Automatic, VAT Included
Rent-Trip rents the Chery Tiggo 7 Pro at a daily rate of 2,650 TL, including VAT. This price is valid for a 5-seater, petrol, automatic SUV. Vehicle delivery is made to your hotel or to both airports throughout the city.
Weekly rental costs 15,900 TRY, and monthly rental 55,650 TRY. In weekly and monthly rates, the daily price is more advantageous than the standard daily rate. The Chery Tiggo 7 Pro, with its 1.6-liter engine and 147 hp, is a suitable option for both city driving and long journeys.
For foreign visitors, the rental process is clear: passport, entry stamp, and driver's license suffice. If the license is not in the Latin alphabet, an International Driving Permit is also required. A credit card registered in the main driver's name is mandatory for the security deposit.
At vehicle delivery, we provide information about the HGS toll system; bridge and highway fees are processed through this system. Thanks to VAT included pricing, you will not encounter any surprise costs in the rental.
Chery Tiggo 7 Pro Features
The Chery Tiggo 7 Pro, as the only SUV option in the Rent-Trip fleet, can be rented from 2,650 TL per day. In this section, you will find details about the vehicle's class, technical data, and its behavior in traffic in this city.
SUV class and 5 seats
The Chery Tiggo 7 Pro belongs to the compact SUV segment and offers a 5-seater interior. Its dimensions, which won't cause parking problems in city use, are combined with a spacious luggage capacity for long journeys. When the rear seats are folded, the resulting area allows you to carry more than two large suitcases. Maneuverability in narrow side streets remains ideal thanks to the high driving position and visibility. This vehicle, a practical option for families and small groups, offers comfort both in daily commuting and weekend getaways. The Tiggo 7 Pro's raised ground clearance gives an extra sense of security over speed bumps and rough surfaces.
Gasoline, Automatic, 1.6 L, 147 hp
| Parameter | Value | Its advantage |
|---|---|---|
| Body type | SUV | High driving position, spacious interior |
| Seats | 5 | Sufficient for families and groups |
| Fuel | Gasoline | Easy charging across the metropolis |
| Transmission | Automatic | Comfortable driving in heavy traffic |
| Engine | 1.6 L | City and long-distance balance |
| Power | 147 hp | Sufficient torque on ramps and bridge exits |
These technical features also make the car advantageous for daily crossings between the two sides of the metropolis. Automatic transmission eliminates the hassle of shifting gears, especially during heavy morning and evening traffic. The petrol engine runs more quietly than diesel cars and offers a more economical option for short-distance city driving.
Tiggo 7 Pro for city driving and long journeys
As Rent-Trip, we frequently rent out the Tiggo 7 Pro for both city deliveries and out-of-town routes such as Sapanca or Bursa. In the city, the 1.6 L engine offers reasonable fuel consumption in stop-and-go traffic, while on the highway, 147 hp provides a quiet drive even above 120 km/h. The vehicle's suspension absorbs rough roads well in distant areas like Arnavutköy or Pendik. On long journeys, the SUV body minimizes wind noise, which reduces fatigue on routes like Cappadocia, which takes 8 hours. On a weekend drive of about 1.5 hours to Şile or Ağva, the vehicle's balance on winding roads is distinctly felt. Our observation is that the Tiggo 7 Pro is the right choice especially for trips of 2-4 people.
Chery Tiggo 7 Pro Rental Fee
The rental price of the Chery Tiggo 7 Pro varies by duration: 2,650 TL per day, 15,900 TL per week, and 55,650 TL per month. All prices include VAT, so there are no surprise taxes at payment. We examined the cost of renting this SUV at Rent-Trip under three headings.
TRY 2,650 per day, VAT included
You can rent the Chery Tiggo 7 Pro from Rent-Trip for 2,650 TL per day; this price includes VAT and is at the lower end of the current market range in the city for an automatic, petrol SUV. The daily rate is valid from the moment you pick up the vehicle until the same time the next day; in city use, a full tank of petrol provides approximately 400-450 km of range. The inclusion of VAT in the price simplifies accounting for those renting vehicles especially for business travel. The price covers compulsory traffic insurance; additional protection packages and the deposit amount are set out in the rental agreement.
Weekly and monthly rates
| Duration | Price | Daily equivalent | Earnings |
|---|---|---|---|
| Daily | 2,650 TL | 2,650 TL | — |
| Weekly | TRY 15,900 | 2,650 TL × 6 | 1 day free |
| Monthly | 55,650 TRY | 2,650 TL × 21 | 9 days free |
In weekly and monthly rentals, the daily price decreases: the weekly rate equals 6 days' charge, and the monthly rate equals 21 days' charge. Long-term rental is advantageous for those staying here a month or longer; the monthly plan saves approximately 33% compared to daily rental. For those needing a car for more than two weeks in the city, it is more economical to choose the monthly plan rather than taking the weekly rate twice.
Why VAT included matters
Car rental prices in Turkey are usually shown excluding VAT; at the time of payment, 20% tax is added, and the total amount becomes significantly higher than the advertised one. Since Rent-Trip's prices include VAT, the listed 2,650 TL is the amount you pay. This transparency is especially important for foreign visitors who want to clarify their budget in advance; you won't experience accounting surprises. The price including VAT also provides an advantage in corporate customers' invoicing processes; the tax item is not reported separately. When comparing prices, base your comparison on amounts including VAT; otherwise, the difference between two companies can be misleading.
Required Documents for Rental
Foreign visitors must prepare four essential documents to rent a car in Turkey: passport, entry stamp, driver's license, and a credit card in the main driver's name. At Rent-Trip, an official checks these documents at the time of delivery; missing documents result in the vehicle not being handed over. To shorten the preparation process, check the validity dates of all documents before check-in.
Passport and Entry Stamp
- Passport: A passport valid for at least six months is required to sign the rental agreement.
- Entry stamp: The date stamp on the passport upon entry into Turkey shows that the day the vehicle is picked up is within the legal period of stay in the country.
- Visa: Citizens of visa-required countries must have a valid Turkey visa or an electronic visa (e-Visa) in their passports.
- Photocopy: The delivery agent adds photocopies of the documents to the contract file; the originals are returned when the car is handed over.
Driver's License and International Driving Permit
A valid local driver's license is sufficient to drive in the country; however, if the license is not issued in the Latin alphabet, an International Driver's Permit (IDP) becomes mandatory. At Rent-Trip, licenses written in Cyrillic, Arabic, or Chinese are not accepted alone; they become valid only with an IDP. The name on the license must exactly match the name on the passport - even a small spelling difference will cause problems at delivery. In our country, the minimum driving age for cars is 18, but for SUV-class vehicles such as the Chery Tiggo 7 Pro, this limit is higher and is specified in the contract.
Credit Card and Age Requirement
At vehicle delivery, the security block is made with a credit card issued in the main driver's name; someone else's card or debit card is not accepted for this transaction. At Rent-Trip, the block amount varies depending on the vehicle class and rental duration, and the exact figure is stated in the rental agreement. The card must be enabled for international transactions and have sufficient limit—the block is not a deposit but a security held during the contract period. The credit card's expiration date must be at least one month after the vehicle return date; otherwise, the release of the block is delayed.
Rental Guide for Foreigners
Tourists coming to Turkey with a tourist visa can rent the Chery Tiggo 7 Pro with a passport and a valid driver's license. Rent-Trip's delivery process for foreign customers is completed with vehicles brought to both airports and hotels.
Can foreigners rent a Chery?
Yes, for foreign visitors, the documents required to rent this model are a passport, an entry stamp into Turkey, and a driver's license from the country of residence. If the license is not written in the Latin alphabet (e.g., Arabic, Cyrillic, or Chinese characters), an International Driving Permit (IDP) is mandatory; a license issued in the Latin alphabet is accepted without an IDP. A credit card registered in the main driver's name is required for the security deposit and must be presented at vehicle delivery. Age and license experience requirements vary by vehicle class; for an SUV class like the Tiggo 7 Pro, these conditions are specified in the contract. Rent-Trip's delivery service shortens the process for those who want the vehicle ready at the airport exit after landing in Istanbul.
Delivery to two airports
| Delivery Point | Location | Advantage |
|---|---|---|
| Istanbul Airport (IST) | Arnavutköy, European Side | Fast connection to Şişli, Beşiktaş, and Beyoğlu |
| Sabiha Gokcen (SAW) | Pendik, Asian Side | Close to Kadıköy, Üsküdar and Ataşehir |
Rent-Trip delivers to hotels and both airports in the city; since there is no physical office or rental counter, the car is delivered at the agreed point along with the contract. At delivery, your passport, entry stamp, and driver's license are checked; a credit card block is also made at the same time. For passengers landing at Sabiha Gökçen, a shorter transfer time is foreseen compared to deliveries on the European side; therefore, it is necessary to correctly specify the airport selection in the reservation. If you have an intercity plan, picking up the car at the airport and heading towards Bursa via the Osmangazi Bridge is more efficient during hours of low traffic.
Contract and Insurance
Car rental contracts and insurance conditions in Turkey are two topics that confuse foreign drivers. In this section, we explain the scope of compulsory traffic insurance and the terms included in the contract.
Scope of compulsory traffic insurance
Compulsory traffic insurance legally covers every vehicle registered in the country and guarantees damage caused to the other party. This insurance covers, up to certain limits, the damage to the other vehicle and the medical expenses of the other party in an accident where you are at fault. Damage to your own vehicle is not covered by this policy; coverage for the vehicle's own damage is separately arranged in the rental agreement. If you have an accident with a rental car, you must first have a report prepared by the traffic police or gendarmerie, then inform the rental company on the same day. Reporting damage without a report prolongs the insurance process and leads to additional documents being requested.
Terms stated in the contract
- Security block: A block is made from a credit card registered in the main driver's name; the amount and release time are specified in the contract.
- Kilometers and fuel: The daily mileage limit and the fuel level at which the car must be returned are clearly stated in the relevant clause of the contract.
- Additional driver: Licenses of people other than the main driver who will drive the vehicle are entered into the contract; if an unreported driver causes an accident, coverage does not apply.
- Insurance coverage: The scope of comprehensive insurance and additional coverages other than compulsory traffic insurance, deductible amounts, and exceptions are set out in the contract.
- Unauthorized toll passages: If you cross a bridge or highway with insufficient HGS balance, the penalty amount can be up to four times; these fees must be paid within the period specified in the agreement.
We recommend that you read all the clauses before signing the contract; especially the liability limits and excess amounts in case of damage are the most critical items to clarify before taking delivery of the vehicle. At Rent-Trip, the rental conditions are set out in the rental agreement, and all clauses are reviewed with you before delivering the vehicle.
Delivery and HGS
For Rent-Trip's Chery Tiggo 7 Pro rentals, delivery is made within Istanbul boundaries and to the two airports; bridge and highway crossings are handled via the HGS system. The vehicle is ready and waiting at your hotel or at the airport exit. Knowing the HGS mechanism ensures you don't encounter surprise penalties while driving.
Hotel and airport delivery
We bring the car to wherever you are staying in the city: we deliver to European side neighborhoods such as Şişli, Beşiktaş, Beyoğlu, Fatih, Bakırköy, and Asian side districts such as Kadıköy, Üsküdar, Ataşehir, Maltepe, Pendik. Both airports are also covered: Istanbul Airport (IST, Arnavutköy) on the European side and Sabiha Gökçen Airport (SAW, Pendik) on the Asian side. Depending on your flight time, you receive the car at the terminal exit or at your hotel's reception; no need to search for a physical office. The delivery time is clarified during reservation and stated in the contract.
Bridge crossings with HGS
The bridges and tunnels connecting the two sides of the metropolis are paid via HGS; there is no cash or card transaction at the toll booth. The vehicle comes with an HGS tag defined, and tolls are reflected to you during the rental period. Current tariffs: Yavuz Sultan Selim Bridge 110 TL, Eurasia Tunnel 280 TL during the day and 140 TL at night, and Osmangazi Bridge 1,170 TL. For intercity routes, you cross to Bursa and Uludağ via the Osmangazi Bridge; directions to Şile and Ağva (~1.5 hours), Sapanca (~2 hours), and Edirne are also routes covered by HGS.
- Unauthorized toll passage: An unpaid crossing, if not paid on time, is reflected as a penalty of four times the fee.
- HGS balance: Before renting, a balance check is made; if the balance is insufficient, a violation occurs.
- Night tariff: A night discount applies in the Eurasia Tunnel; you pay 140 TL for night crossings.
Detailed information about HGS mechanics is explained on the HGS page on the website; we recommend reviewing this page before starting your rental.
Conclusion
The Chery Tiggo 7 Pro is a 5-seater, petrol, automatic SUV that can be rented in Istanbul at 2,650 TL/day (VAT included). The weekly rate corresponds to 15,900 TL and the monthly rate to 55,650 TL; with long-term rentals, the daily cost drops significantly. With its 1.6 L engine and 147 hp, the vehicle offers a comfortable drive both in city traffic and on long-distance routes such as Şile, Sapanca, or Bursa.
It is worth reminding that foreign drivers can complete transactions with their passport, entry stamp, and a license from their own country during the rental process. If the license is not in Latin script, an International Driving Permit is required. A credit card opened in the main driver's name is mandatory for the security deposit. Age and driving experience requirements vary by vehicle class and are stated in the contract. Preparing these documents in advance saves time at delivery.
- Compulsory traffic insurance: A legal requirement for every vehicle registered in Turkey; it also applies to rental vehicles.
- HGS: Electronic toll collection system for bridge and motorway crossings; the violation penalty can be up to four times the fee.
- Delivery: Vehicle delivery is provided within the city and to both airports (IST and SAW); there is no physical office.
In this metropolis spread across two sides, the bridges between the European and Asian sides and the Eurasia Tunnel are paid via HGS. Yavuz Sultan Selim Bridge costs 110 TL, the Eurasia Tunnel costs 280 TL during the day, and the Osmangazi Bridge costs 1,170 TL. Taking these tolls into account when planning your budget prevents surprise expenses. On an intercity route, checking your HGS balance before setting off eliminates the risk of penalty crossings.
