Do you want to rent a Land Rover Velar in the luxury SUV class, with 5 seats, diesel engine and automatic transmission? We offer free delivery to every point in Istanbul, with prices starting from 11,500 TL per day, options of 69,000 TL per week and 241,500 TL per month.
Land Rover Velar's Features and Performance
The Land Rover Velar is one of the most striking models in the luxury SUV class in our rental fleet. At Rent-Trip, you can rent this car from 11,500 TL per day (VAT included); with a diesel engine, automatic transmission, and 5-seat layout, it offers comfort both in the city and on long journeys.
| Feature | Value |
|---|---|
| Class | Luxury SUV |
| Number of seats | 5 |
| Fuel type | Diesel |
| Transmission | Automatic |
| Engine displacement | 2.0 L |
| Power | 204 hp |
| Daily price | TRY 11,500 (VAT included) |
Performance: 2.0 L Diesel and 204 hp
The Velar's 2.0-liter diesel engine produces 204 horsepower and is paired with an automatic transmission. This combination allows the vehicle to move smoothly in metropolitan traffic and to make safe overtakes on fast arteries like D-100 or O-7. In the Turkish market, diesel SUVs are preferred by long-distance users; the engine's low-end torque offers advantages on inclines and in heavy traffic.
The vehicle seats 5 and the boot easily accommodates a weekend bag set for a family of four. The Velar's driving position is high, which broadens visibility in the city. Even on an 8-hour journey like Cappadocia, the driver's seat's adjustable lumbar support reduces fatigue. The diesel engine's fuel consumption noticeably drops on long trips compared to petrol equivalents; however, in city stop-and-go traffic, this difference narrows.
Range Rover Velar for City Use
Crossings via the bridges and the Eurasia Tunnel connecting the two sides of the metropolis are made with the HGS system. The Velar's spacious body maintains driving comfort on the 15 July Martyrs' Bridge or the Yavuz Sultan Selim Bridge; the high driving position makes maneuvering in narrow lanes easier. On a day trip to Şile and Ağva, the vehicle's all-wheel-drive system provides balance on the winding coastal road.
At the time of rental, the vehicle's maintenance status and tire tread depth are set out in the contract. We recommend checking the fuel level and any existing scratches on the body when you take delivery of the Velar; this prevents disputes at return. You can pick up the car in any district of the city or at IST and SAW airports; Rent-Trip has no physical office, so the car is brought directly to your location.
Land Rover Rental Prices — Daily, Weekly, Monthly
Land Rover Velar rental prices on Rent-Trip start from 11,500 TL per day; in weekly and monthly packages, the daily unit price decreases. All prices are VAT included, with no additional items in the contract.
Daily Rental Fee
Renting a Velar for one day costs 11,500 TL; this price includes VAT and the vehicle is delivered to your location. The daily rate suits short plans like in-city transfers or a Bosphorus tour; you can pick up the vehicle in the evening and return it the same time the next day. If you want to go to Şile or Sapanca for the weekend, the total cost for two days is 23,000 TL, which remains reasonable for a comfortable SUV compared to a hotel room. For daily rentals, you pay for fuel; the diesel Velar averages 7–8 liters per 100 km in the city. If you use the vehicle for less than 24 hours and return it the same day, you still pay the full day rate; this detail is specified in the contract.
Weekly and Monthly Packages
Weekly rental costs 69,000 TRY, and monthly rental 241,500 TRY; in both packages, the daily unit price is more advantageous than the daily rate. In long-term rentals, the car stays with you, and you don't need to make separate daily reservations for delivery and return. If you're planning a long route like Cappadocia, which takes 8 hours, the weekly package provides significant savings compared to the daily rate. Monthly rental is ideal for business trips or stays longer than a month in the city; during this period, HGS passages and bridge tolls are processed separately. When deciding which duration suits you, multiply the total number of days by the daily rate and compare with the package price.
Price Comparison by Rental Duration
| Rental Period | Total Price | Daily Unit Price | Its advantage |
|---|---|---|---|
| Daily | TRY 11,500 | 11,500 TL/day | Short city driving, flexible plan |
| Weekly (6 days) | 69,000 TRY | 11,500 TL/day | 7-day stay, long route |
| Monthly (21 days) | TRY 241,500 | 11,500 TL/day | Business travel, long-term accommodation |
At Rent-Trip, in weekly and monthly packages the total payment increases as the term lengthens, but the conditions in the rental agreement are arranged with the same transparency for each package. When deciding on a payment plan, calculate how many days you will actually use the car; for example, for a 5-day holiday, taking a weekly package comes to the same total as the daily rate. Prices including VAT, together with the deposit and insurance arrangements set out in the agreement, allow you to make a clear budget plan.
Car Delivery — Where and How?
Rent-Trip has no physical office; the Velar is delivered to your location throughout the rental period. You receive the car in all districts of the city and at both airports; thus, you do not have to search for an office or depend on public transport.
Airport Delivery — IST and SAW
Istanbul has two airports on two different continents: Istanbul Airport (IST, Arnavutköy) on the European side and Sabiha Gökçen Airport (SAW, Pendik) on the Asian side. No matter which airport you land at, you can pick up your Velar at the terminal exit. Simply share your flight details during booking; the car is kept ready according to your landing time. After a long flight, instead of searching for a rental office, you head straight from baggage claim to your car. No extra fee is charged for delayed flights; delivery is rescheduled to your new landing time.
City Center Delivery Points
- Hotel and accommodation: The vehicle is brought to the front of your hotel or residence; you do not need to leave the reception.
- Business centers: Deliveries to office buildings in Levent, Maslak, and Şişli are made during business hours.
- Residential addresses: Delivered to your door in all districts including Kadıköy, Üsküdar, Ataşehir, Maltepe, Bakırköy, and Başakşehir.
- Restaurants and shopping malls: The vehicle is brought to your location in Beşiktaş, Beyoğlu, and Fatih.
The delivery time is set out in the rental agreement; the team handing over the car checks the ignition and documents with you.
Crossing Between the Asian and European Sides
With the Velar, crossing between the two continents is via the Bosphorus bridges or the Eurasia Tunnel. The vehicle has an HGS device; bridge and tunnel tolls are processed through this system. For weekly rentals, we recommend checking the contract for how tolls are reflected when heading out of town to routes like Şile, Sapanca, or Bursa. For daily rentals, no additional HGS top-up is needed for in-city use.
Documents and Rental Conditions
The documents required to rent a Land Rover Velar are standard; the rental conditions include age and license experience requirements based on the vehicle class. At Rent-Trip, a contract is signed at vehicle delivery, and all conditions are specified in that contract.
Required Documents for Foreign Drivers
- Passport and entry stamp: A passport showing your entry into the country and the entry stamp on its page are mandatory.
- Driver's license: Your valid driver's license from your own country is sufficient; if it is not written in the Latin alphabet, an International Driving Permit (IDP) is required.
- Credit card: A credit card issued in the main driver's name is mandatory for the security block; cash or someone else's card is not accepted.
Rental Conditions and Agreement
Since the Velar is in the luxury SUV class, the age and license experience requirements are higher than for standard vehicles. Exact limits vary by vehicle class and are specified in the contract; the deposit amount, mileage limit, and insurance coverage details are also clearly set out in the rental agreement. At Rent-Trip, compulsory traffic insurance applies to all vehicles by law; the contents of additional insurance packages are specified in the contract. Don't sign the contract without reading it when picking up the vehicle; especially check clauses like the fuel return policy and steps to follow in case of damage with the staff during delivery.
Intercity travel and HGS
When heading out of town with the Velar, the only preparation is to check the HGS balance: bridge and highway tolls go through this system. Regardless of where you pick up the vehicle, mandatory traffic insurance coverage applies to every registered vehicle by law, so no extra steps are needed for long routes. Rent-Trip delivers within Istanbul's borders; for long routes like Sapanca, Şile, or Cappadocia, you pick up the vehicle at your own location and set off.
HGS toll points and current rates: Yavuz Sultan Selim Bridge costs 110 TL, Eurasia Tunnel 280 TL during the day and 140 TL at night, and Osmangazi Bridge 1,170 TL. If a passage is not paid on time, it turns into a fine of four times the amount; therefore, check the balance before entering the bridge. Depending on which provider the HGS tag in the vehicle belongs to, you top up the balance through that channel; the detailed mechanism is explained on the HGS page of the website.
The logic of out-of-city routes with the Velar is as follows:
- Sapanca and Şile: Ideal for weekend getaways; Sapanca is reached in about 2 hours, Şile and Ağva in 1.5 hours. A diesel engine uses only a small part of the tank over this distance.
- Bursa and Uludağ: The crossing is made via the Osmangazi Bridge; the toll is deducted from HGS, and there is no waiting at toll booths.
- Cappadocia: It is a long journey of about 8 hours; comfort seats and automatic transmission make a difference on this route. Tyre pressure and fuel level should be checked before the journey.
In Turkey, the weekend is Saturday and Sunday; on these two days, traffic increases on the roads to Şile and Sapanca. Leaving early in the morning allows you to avoid traffic and arrive in daylight. In winter, snow falls in the metropolis, but since there are no mountains nearby, a chain requirement is usually not an issue; still, it is wise to check the weather forecast for long routes.
Diesel or Petrol — Choosing Fuel
The Land Rover Velar is available in our rental fleet only with a diesel engine option. This means that the daily price of 11,500 TL includes the advantages of a diesel engine. If you are choosing between city driving and long journeys, the diesel engine's fuel economy and torque advantage are particularly noticeable in heavy metropolitan traffic and on out-of-town routes.
Advantages of Diesel Engines in the City
- Fuel consumption: Diesel engines consume on average 20-25% less fuel than their petrol counterparts in stop-and-go city traffic; this makes a difference on daily bridge crossings from Beşiktaş to Kadıköy.
- Torque and traction: The 2.0 L diesel engine producing 204 hp offers high torque at low revs, providing a more comfortable drive on slopes and in situations requiring frequent acceleration in heavy traffic.
- Long range: When the tank is full, you can cover a longer distance in city driving compared to a petrol car, which reduces the hassle of searching for fuel stations during holiday periods.
Diesel Performance on Out-of-Town Routes
The Velar's diesel engine shines on day trips from Istanbul to Sapanca or Şile. On long-distance routes — for example, the approximately 8-hour journey to Cappadocia — the diesel engine running at low RPM at constant speeds provides both fuel savings and driving comfort. When you calculate fuel costs along with the 1,170 TL bridge toll on the Osmangazi Bridge to Bursa, the diesel engine's advantage becomes even clearer.
Relationship between Fuel Type and Rental Duration
As your rental period extends, the economic advantage of the diesel engine increases further. For a weekly rental, you pay 69,000 TL instead of 11,500 TL per day—equivalent to 6 days of use. Monthly rental is 241,500 TL, the equivalent of 21 days at the daily rate. When you factor in fuel costs, most of our customers renting the diesel Velar for more than a week say there is a noticeable difference in total cost compared to petrol SUVs in the same class. Whether the tank is delivered full or empty and the details of the fuel policy are specified in the rental agreement.
Velar or BMW X5 — Alternative Comparison
When considering the Land Rover Velar, the BMW X5 may also come to mind. Both vehicles are in the luxury SUV class, but their characters, equipment, and intended uses differ. In Rent-Trip's fleet, you can rent the Velar at 11,500 TL per day (VAT included); the X5 is evaluated in another segment.
Design and Driving Character
- Land Rover Velar: It offers a modern stance with slim LED headlights, hidden door handles, and smooth surfaces; inside, the dual-screen console stands out.
- BMW X5: A more muscular body, a wide kidney grille, and a driver-focused cockpit; handling and steering feel are BMW's traditional strengths.
- Driving position: While the Velar offers a higher and quieter ride, the X5 has a more pronounced asphalt feel.
Which one goes where?
Velar is a vehicle designed for those who prioritize elegance and comfort in the city. The X5, on the other hand, appeals to drivers seeking a more sporty driving dynamic. In the metropolis's heavy traffic, on the Bosphorus bridges, and on Bağdat Avenue, this model's soft suspension provides an advantage. For long journeys on routes to Sapanca or Cappadocia, the diesel engine's low-end torque makes a difference.
Why Velar?
At Rent-Trip, the Velar is available in a diesel, automatic transmission version with a 2.0 L engine; 204 hp is sufficient and efficient for daily use. The five-seat interior is ideal for a weekend getaway to Şile for a family of four. The luggage capacity comfortably accommodates suitcases for intercity travel. The vehicle is delivered to all districts of the city and to both airports; since there is no physical office, the process is completed entirely at your location. Rental conditions, deposit, and insurance details are specified in the contract.
Conclusion — Pre-Rental Checklist
Before renting a Land Rover Velar, clarifying four points prevents surprises on delivery day: the scope of the price, documents, delivery point, and HGS usage. The following checklist is prepared according to rental practice in Turkey.
- Verify the price: The Velar costs 11,500 TL per day (VAT included); weekly is 69,000 TL, monthly is 241,500 TL. VAT being included means no surprise taxes at the time of payment.
- Take your documents with you: Passport, entry stamp to Turkey, your home country's driver's license, and an international driving permit (IDP) for licenses not using the Latin alphabet are required.
- Have your credit card ready: The security deposit is made with a credit card issued in the main driver's name. The deposit amount and release time are set out in the contract.
- Clarify the delivery address: The vehicle is delivered to all districts of the city and to both airports (Istanbul Airport and Sabiha Gökçen); since there is no physical office, the meeting point is planned in advance.
- Learn about your HGS account: Yavuz Sultan Selim Bridge is subject to a toll of 110 TL, and Osmangazi Bridge 1,170 TL; the penalty for a missed toll can be four times the amount.
All rental conditions – deposit, mileage limit, insurance coverage – are set out in the rental agreement (contract). Reading these clauses before signing the contract prevents disputes at the time of delivery.
The diesel-powered Velar is a suitable choice for long intercity routes; a two-hour getaway to Sapanca or an eight-hour drive to Cappadocia offers advantages in fuel consumption. However, the contract prohibits using the vehicle on off-road surfaces; therefore, plan your route only on highways. Also consider that weekly and monthly rates are more advantageous than the daily rate.
One final note: traffic congestion in the metropolis increases on weekends and in the evening hours. Scheduling your delivery for the early morning slot makes city crossings easier and allows you to use the car more comfortably on the first day.
