Mercedes-Benz Car Rental Guide
To benefit from advantageous rates on weekly or monthly rentals, make your choice among our Mercedes-Benz models; 5 different models from C-Class to S-Class and Vito are offered at prices starting from 3,600 TL per day (VAT included). We deliver your car to any point you wish, including Istanbul Airport (IST) or Sabiha Gökçen (SAW).
Mercedes-Benz Rental — Choosing the Right Model
When you want to rent a Mercedes-Benz in Istanbul, you first need to clarify which model truly suits you. While the A-Class is the most economical option for city driving, the Vito offers a practical solution for a group of 8; the S-Class brings comfort to the forefront for business meetings and special events. All 5 models in the Rent-Trip fleet have automatic transmission.
A-Class: With its hatchback body, it provides ease of maneuverability in narrow streets and heavy traffic; at 3,600 TL per day, it is budget-friendly. C-Class: With its sedan body and 204 hp, it offers a balanced ride in city and short-distance travel. E-Class: When moving up to the luxury class, it is a good choice for those seeking comfort on long journeys, thanks to its 2.0 L engine and spacious interior. S-Class: With 381 hp and a 3.0 L engine, it offers top-notch comfort and performance; it makes a difference on special occasions or when hosting VIP guests. Vito: With its 8-seat diesel engine, it is ideal for large groups and airport transfers; the luggage capacity is also an advantage.
When choosing a model, how many people will use the car and how much distance you will cover are decisive. While the A-Class is sufficient for short city transfers, the comfort of the E-Class is noticeable on long routes like Sapanca or Bursa. Daily rental prices, VAT included, range from 3,600 TL to 15,000 TL; with weekly and monthly rental options, the daily cost decreases.
Before diving into the content map, a quick note: on this page we cover the entire Mercedes-Benz rental process step by step. The headings below cover everything from the fleet to delivery, from paperwork to tolls. Feel free to jump straight to the section you need.
Mercedes-Benz Fleet at Rent-Trip
The technical specifications and daily rates of the five models are in a single table: fuel type, number of seats, and engine displacement for every vehicle from the C-Class to the Vito. For those wondering about the difference between the C-Class and the E-Class, a quick comparison is also included in this section.
| Model | Body Type | Seats | Fuel | Engine | Price (TL/day) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mercedes-Benz A-Class | Hatchback | 5 | Gasoline | 1.3 L, 163 hp | 3,600 |
| Mercedes-Benz C-Class | Sedan | 5 | Gasoline | 1.5 L, 204 hp | 4,800 |
| Mercedes-Benz Vito | Minivan | 8 | Diesel | 2.0 L, 163 hp | 6,000 |
| Mercedes-Benz E-Class | Sedan | 5 | Gasoline | 2.0 L, 197 hp | 7,500 |
| Mercedes-Benz S-Class | Sedan | 5 | Gasoline | 3.0 L, 381 hp | 15,000 |
Prices and Rental Durations
The pricing logic of daily, weekly and monthly rental options: the weekly calculation is based on six times the daily rate, and the monthly calculation is based on twenty-one times. What it means for prices to include VAT and whether any other item is added to the total cost is clarified in this section.
Home and Hotel Delivery
Since we don't have a physical office, all deliveries are made to your location: whether it's a hotel, workplace, or airport. We deliver cars to all districts on the European and Asian sides, as well as to Istanbul Airport (IST) and Sabiha Gökçen (SAW) terminals.
Documents for Foreign Drivers
Documents required to rent a car in Turkey: passport and entry stamp, an international driving permit (IDP) if issued in non-Latin alphabet, and a credit card in the main driver's name. How age and license experience requirements vary by vehicle class is also explained in this section.
HGS and Road Tolls
How bridge and tunnel crossings work with the HGS system and current crossing fees are presented in a table. The amounts to be paid for the Yavuz Sultan Selim Bridge, Eurasia Tunnel, and Osmangazi Bridge, as well as the penalty status of unpaid crossings, are here.
Weekend and Long Road Trip
Which model is more suitable for routes like Şile, Ağva, Sapanca, or Bursa: the eight-seat Vito's advantage in group travel and the S-Class's comfort on long distances. Points to consider when choosing between weekend escapes and multi-day regional tours.
Insurance and Contract
The legal scope of compulsory traffic insurance and how it protects every registered vehicle. This section covers how details such as deposit, mileage limit, and additional insurance conditions are set out in the rental agreement (in the contract) and which clauses should be read before signing the contract.
Mercedes-Benz Fleet at Rent-Trip
In this section, we place five Mercedes-Benz models from the Rent-Trip fleet side by side; you can see each one's daily price, body type, and fuel in a single table. Since all are automatic transmission, there is no gear hassle in city traffic or on long journeys. All prices are quoted VAT included, with no surprise items in the contract.
Five Models, Five Characters
| Model | Class | Body | Seats | Fuel | Engine | Power | Price (daily) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| A-Class | Premium | Hatchback | 5 | Gasoline | 1.3 L | 163 hp | TRY 3,600 |
| C-Class | Premium | Sedan | 5 | Gasoline | 1.5 L | 204 hp | TRY 4,800 |
| Vito | Minivan | Minivan | 8 | Diesel | 2.0 L | 163 hp | 6,000 TRY |
| E-Class | Luxury | Sedan | 5 | Gasoline | 2.0 L | 197 hp | 7,500 TL |
| S-Class | Luxury | Sedan | 5 | Gasoline | 3.0 L | 381 hp | TRY 15,000 |
C-Class or E-Class
The C-Class with its 204 horsepower offers a sufficient balance for city and ring-road trips, with a daily price of TRY 4,800; the E-Class, with its 2.0-liter engine and more spacious interior, stands out for business trips, at TRY 7,500 per day. Since both are petrol and automatic, the decision should be based not on driving feel but on budget and purpose. Guests who choose the E-Class for trips from Istanbul to Bursa or Sapanca usually prioritize comfort; those looking for a more agile car in weekday traffic prefer the C-Class. My recommendation for those torn between the two models: if you will exceed 100 km per day, the E-Class's quietness on long journeys makes a difference; if not, the C-Class's lower fuel consumption protects your wallet. In both cars, age and license experience requirements are set out in the rental agreement; therefore, sending us your driver details before booking speeds up the process.
A — Five Models, Five Characters
In the Mercedes-Benz fleet, there are vehicles with five different characters: from the compact A-Class to the luxurious S-Class, and the 8-seat Vito, each class caters to a different usage scenario. All have automatic transmissions; daily prices range from 3,600 TL to 15,000 TL, VAT included.
| Model | Class | Body Type | Seats | Fuel | Engine | Power | Daily Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| A-Class | Premium | Hatchback | 5 | Gasoline | 1.3 L | 163 hp | TRY 3,600 |
| C-Class | Premium | Sedan | 5 | Gasoline | 1.5 L | 204 hp | TRY 4,800 |
| E-Class | Luxury | Sedan | 5 | Gasoline | 2.0 L | 197 hp | 7,500 TL |
| S-Class | Luxury | Sedan | 5 | Gasoline | 3.0 L | 381 hp | TRY 15,000 |
| Vito | Minivan | Minivan | 8 | Diesel | 2.0 L | 163 hp | 6,000 TRY |
C-Class or E-Class?
Deciding between the C-Class and E-Class is choosing between city comfort and long-distance performance. The C-Class offers a more powerful engine at 204 hp while its daily price of TRY 4,800 is significantly more accessible than the E-Class's TRY 7,500. The E-Class, with its 2.0 L engine and 197 hp, offers a more relaxed driving character on the highway; interior space and rear-seat comfort make a difference over long distances. In our own practice, we recommend the C-Class for city traffic and short distances, and the E-Class for out-of-town routes like Sapanca or Bursa. Given the TRY 2,700 price difference, it must be said that if you will use the car mainly in the city, the C-Class does not strain the budget.
B — C-Class or E-Class
The choice between the C-Class and the E-Class becomes clear based on where your daily-use and comfort priorities begin. In the Rent-Trip fleet, the C-Class rents for TRY 4,800 per day and the E-Class for TRY 7,500; both models are petrol, automatic, and have 5 seats. The TRY 2,700 difference is reflected not so much in engine displacement but in interior space and ride smoothness.
The C-Class, with its 1.5-liter engine and 204 hp, is a sedan with high maneuverability in city traffic. Parking on narrow streets is noticeably easier than with the E-Class; the trunk volume is more than sufficient for city shopping and a weekend bag. The E-Class, with its 2.0-liter engine and 197 hp, approaches the C in power, but as the wheelbase lengthens, driving comfort increases. On long trips, knee room for rear-seat passengers makes a visible difference compared to the C-Class; therefore, the E-Class stands out for business meetings or intercity trips with family elders.
Instead of evaluating the price difference on a daily basis, it is more accurate to see it in weekly rental. While the weekly amount for the C-Class is 28,800 TL, it reaches 45,000 TL for the E-Class; the 16,200 TL difference can affect your hotel and restaurant budget. If you are planning a budget-oriented city trip, the C-Class makes sense, while on a business trip where comfort is a priority, the E-Class justifies the difference.
Location: Since parking lots in Şişli, Beşiktaş, and Levent are narrow, the C-Class provides a parking advantage; in the spacious lots of Maslak and Ataşehir, the E-Class finds space easily. Fuel: Since both models are petrol, the E-Class consumes about 1-1.5 liters more over a daily 100 km usage; in the long run, this difference impacts the budget. Decision: If you will travel with your family or colleagues, the E-Class's rear seat comfort is a reason to choose it; if you will explore the city alone or as a couple, the C-Class is sufficient and economical.
Prices and Rental Durations
Mercedes-Benz rental prices vary by duration: daily from 3,600–15,000 TL, weekly from 21,600 TL, monthly from 75,600 TL. In weekly and monthly rates, the daily unit price decreases because the weekly calculation is based on 6 times the daily rate, and the monthly calculation on 21 times. This formula provides a significant advantage for long-term rentals.
Daily Weekly Monthly
- Daily rental: TRY 3,600 for the A-Class, TRY 4,800 for the C-Class, TRY 6,000 for the Vito, TRY 7,500 for the E-Class, TRY 15,000 for the S-Class — all VAT included.
- Weekly rental: 6 times the daily rate; the lowest weekly package starts at 21,600 TL for the A Series, and the highest at 90,000 TL for the S Series.
- Monthly rental: 21 times the daily rate; the A-Class starts at 75,600 TL and the S-Class reaches 315,000 TL.
- Long-term advantage: In monthly rental, the daily cost decreases further compared to the weekly tariff; the 21-day calculation ensures you don't pay for unused days.
- Price guarantee: VAT is included in all daily, weekly and monthly tariffs; no extra charges arise except for the conditions specified in the contract.
What Does Including VAT Mean
In Turkey, 20% VAT is added to car rental prices, and all our prices include this tax. So the 3,600 TL you see in the list is the final amount you need to pay; VAT is not reflected in the cart, and there is no surprise increase during payment. This is especially important for foreign drivers who want to see their budget clearly — because many platforms show prices excluding VAT and the amount increases at the last step. Compulsory traffic insurance is also legally required for all vehicles and is included in the rental fee; additional insurance options and the deposit amount are specified in the contract. To benefit from the VAT-inclusive price advantage, you can prefer weekly or monthly rentals — in this case, your daily unit cost decreases and you can plan your total budget more predictably.
A — Daily Weekly Monthly
Our prices are calculated based on three different durations: daily, weekly, and monthly. Weekly rental is calculated by multiplying the daily rate by 6 days, and monthly rental by 21 days — so for longer rentals, the daily rate drops significantly.
- Daily rental: For the Mercedes-Benz A-Class, prices start at 3,600 TL; for the S-Class, they go up to 15,000 TL. VAT is included.
- Weekly rental: It is calculated by multiplying the daily rate by 6. For the C Series it starts from 28,800 TL per week, and for the A Series from 21,600 TL.
- Monthly rental: Calculated by multiplying the daily rate by 21. On the A-Class, monthly packages starting from 75,600 TL are the most economical option for those staying in the city for a month or longer.
In weekly and monthly rentals, you incur a cost below the daily price. For example, if you rent the E-Class at 7,500 TL per day, the weekly total is 45,000 TL; renting the same car for 21 days, you pay a total of 157,500 TL. This formula suits most of our guests who need a car for more than a week for business meetings or holidays.
If you want to take the Vito to Şile or Sapanca on the weekend with a group of 8, you can reduce the daily cost by paying 36,000 TL weekly instead of the 6,000 TL daily rate. Since all prices are presented including VAT, no additional tax surprise arises at the contracting stage; the amount to be paid is the figure you see when starting the rental.
B — What Does VAT Included Mean
VAT-included price means that the 20% value-added tax is already included in the rental fee. For Rent-Trip's Mercedes-Benz vehicles, no extra VAT is added on top of the daily rates you see; the listed amount is the final figure stated in the contract and what you pay. In Turkey, car rental services are subject to VAT and this tax rate is legally 20%; while some companies show prices without tax and add it at payment, in our system all listings are published with tax included.
The inclusion of VAT in the price eliminates an element of surprise, especially for drivers planning their budget. For example, when you see 3,600 TL per day for a Mercedes-Benz A-Class, that entire amount is the rental fee; no additional tax item appears at delivery or when signing the contract. The same rule applies to discounted packages such as the weekly 21,600 TL and monthly 75,600 TL; package prices are formed by multiplying the daily rate by six and twenty-one days respectively, and the VAT is embedded in that multiplication. When comparing, the point to watch is whether offers from two different companies are on the same tax basis; if one gives a price excluding VAT and the other including, the figures cannot be directly compared.
- VAT: Value added tax is applied at 20% to car rental services in Turkey and is included in the price.
- VAT-included price: This is the full amount you see in the listings; no additional taxes are charged at the time of payment.
- Price excluding VAT: It is a method preferred by some companies; 20% is added to the amount in payment and the total cost increases.
All of our Mercedes-Benz fleet at Rent-Trip—from the C-Class to the Vito—is listed with prices including VAT, and no additional costs arise except for the conditions specified in the contract. Since compulsory traffic insurance is legally valid for every vehicle in Turkey, this item is also included in the price and is not paid separately. When comparing prices, also inquire about the tax policy alongside the daily rate; this way, you will clearly see how much the difference between two quotes really is.
