Nissan Qashqai Rental Guide: SUV Comfort in Istanbul
Would you like to rent a Nissan Qashqai from 2,800 TL per day (VAT included) by delivering it anywhere in Istanbul and to the airports? This is equivalent to 16,800 TL weekly and 58,800 TL monthly; a 5-seat SUV with petrol and automatic transmission.
Nissan Qashqai rental prices — daily, weekly, monthly
At Rent-Trip, the rental fee for the Nissan Qashqai is fixed at 2,800 TL per day, including VAT. The price becomes more advantageous for weekly and monthly rentals compared to the daily rate: weekly is 16,800 TL, and monthly is 58,800 TL. Since vehicle delivery is free to every point in the city and to both airports, no additional transportation costs are added to the price.
The VAT-included pricing policy ensures no surprise costs at rental. Since the VAT rate in Turkey is 20%, this tax is already calculated into the daily rate. No additional tax or service fee is added to the listed amount at the time of payment.
Weekly Nissan Qashqai Rental
Weekly rental is calculated by multiplying the daily rate by six days and is applied as 16,800 TL. This formula means that in a seven-day rental, one day is considered free. This rate is the most preferred option for those who want to use this model for a weekend getaway or a business trip for a week.
Monthly Nissan Qashqai Rental
The monthly rate is calculated by multiplying the daily rate by 21 days and amounts to 58,800 TL. In long-term rentals, the daily cost decreases significantly. For those staying in the city for a month or longer, companies, and project-based workers, this option makes the budget more predictable than daily rental.
Comparison by Rental Duration
| Duration | Calculation | Total Price |
|---|---|---|
| Daily | 2,800 TL × 1 | 2,800 TL |
| Weekly | 2,800 TL × 6 | TRY 16,800 |
| Monthly | 2,800 TL × 21 | 58,800 TRY |
All prices include VAT and are within the scope of compulsory traffic insurance specified in the contract. For longer rentals, the lower daily rate offers the most economical solution for those planning to use a car for a month in Istanbul.
Nissan Qashqai technical specifications — SUV, petrol, automatic
The Nissan Qashqai for rent at Rent-Trip is an SUV with a 1.3-liter petrol engine and automatic transmission, with a capacity of five passengers. The model belongs to the city crossover class, but thanks to its ground clearance and compact dimensions, it is confident both on the streets of Istanbul and on intercity roads. Below is a list of all features.
Nissan Qashqai Technical Specifications
| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
| Class | SUV |
| Seats | 5 |
| Fuel | Gasoline |
| Transmission | Automatic |
| Engine | 1.3 L |
| Power | 158 hp |
| Price | 2,800 TL/day, VAT included |
7. The 1.3-liter petrol engine produces 158 horsepower; this is sufficient for safe overtaking on the Osmangazi highway and the hills in the Beyoğlu area. The automatic transmission eliminates the need to deal with a clutch pedal in heavy traffic during rush hours on the Bosphorus bridges. For an SUV in this class, combined fuel consumption is reasonable; however, exact figures depend on driving style and load.
8. The Qashqai's five-seat interior is suitable for families with children and groups of three or four adults with luggage. The rear seats fold in a 60/40 ratio; this allows you to increase luggage capacity for a trip to Cappadocia or to carry large purchases from Maltepe shopping malls. In our experience, our customers usually prefer this model for city trips and short weekend getaways, not for long journeys.
9. If you are used to a high seating position and the view typical of SUVs, the Qashqai gives you exactly that feeling behind the wheel. Before booking, check that the selected rate suits your plans: for going to Şile or Sapanca, daily rental is enough; for a long stay in this metropolis, weekly or monthly options are more advantageous - daily prices are lower.
City delivery of Nissan Qashqai — IST, SAW, European and Asian sides
With Rent-Trip's Nissan Qashqai rental, the car is delivered to any point in the city and to both airports; since there is no physical office or airport counter, all procedures are completed at the meeting point.
Airport Delivery: IST and SAW
The vehicle is delivered to Istanbul Airport (IST, Arnavutköy) on the European side and to Sabiha Gökçen Airport (SAW, Pendik) on the Asian side. If you provide your flight information in advance, we have the vehicle ready at the terminal exit according to your landing time. In case of delays on international flights, the new landing time is tracked without any additional fee. The rental period starts from the hour the vehicle is delivered; therefore, for passengers landing late at night, you are charged from the delivery time rather than paying for the entire first day.
City Center Delivery: European and Asian Sides
Delivery is made to districts on the European side such as Şişli, Beşiktaş, Beyoğlu, Fatih and Bakırköy, as well as to districts on the Asian side such as Kadıköy, Üsküdar, Ataşehir, Maltepe and Pendik. During crossings between the two continents, the car is delivered to you on the side where you are; bridge or tunnel tolls are not passed on to you. Whether your hotel, workplace or holiday address is anywhere, we bring the car to your location. For those working in business centers like Levent and Maslak, delivery can also be scheduled outside working hours.
- Hotel delivery: Vehicle information is left at the reception, and the key handover is done securely.
- Residential delivery: Meeting is arranged at the entrance of the site or apartment building; the parking spot is shown by you.
- Office delivery: The vehicle is prepared in the parking lot before the start of business hours.
Delivery Process and Return
At delivery, the current damage condition of the vehicle is photographed together, the fuel level is recorded in the report, and the contract is signed mutually. Return is also made from your location in the same way; there is no obligation to bring the vehicle back to the office. For one-way rentals outside the city, the route and duration must be notified in advance; in this case, the return point and additional conditions are set out in the rental agreement.
Documents required for renting a Nissan Qashqai
For foreigners renting a Nissan Qashqai from Rent-Trip, there are four essential documents to be carried: passport, entry stamp to Turkey, a driver's license from the country of residence, and, if the license is not issued in Latin script, an International Driving Permit (IDP). A credit card registered in the main driver's name is also required for the security deposit. The original of all documents is checked at delivery.
Passport and Entry Stamp
The passport stamp showing your entry into Turkey is checked for the validity of the car rental agreement. The validity of your passport must cover the entire rental period. Visitors subject to the e-stamp application upon entry to the country must present the relevant page of their passport.
Driver's License and International Driver's License (IDP)
- Driver's license: At least one year of driving experience is required; the name on the license must exactly match the passport.
- International Driving Permit (IDP): Mandatory for drivers coming from countries that do not use the Latin alphabet; the information on your IDP must be consistent with your local driver's license.
- Credit card: A credit card issued in the main driver's own name and enabled for international transactions is required for the security deposit.
Rental Agreement and Delivery
Document checks are carried out at the vehicle delivery point: Istanbul Airport (IST), Sabiha Gökçen Airport (SAW), or an address you specify within the city. The contract is signed at delivery; the deposit amount, daily kilometre limit, and details of insurance coverage are set out in the rental agreement.
HGS and Toll Roads — Şile, Sapanca, Bursa
When heading out of town with the Nissan Qashqai, you need to use the HGS system for bridge and motorway crossings; clear information on this matter ensures your journey is completed without fines and quickly. Most intercity routes pass through toll points, and payment is made only via an HGS tag or a license plate matched to a bank card. All Rent-Trip vehicles are delivered ready for HGS crossings, so you can continue on your way without stopping at the booth.
How Does HGS Work?
- HGS tag: The electronic tag affixed to the vehicle's windshield is detected by the reader at the toll point, and the fee is automatically deducted.
- License plate recognition: Recently, license plate recognition systems are in place at most toll points; even without a tag, it is sufficient for your plate to be linked to your bank account.
- Balance check: Before the crossing, you can check your HGS balance via the bank app or PTT branches.
- Unauthorized toll passage: If the balance is insufficient, the passage is considered a "violation passage," and if not paid on time, a fine of four times the fee applies.
- In rental cars: The vehicle owner keeps the plate linked to their own account; the rental agreement states that toll fees will be passed on to the renter.
Bridge and Tunnel Tolls
| Toll Point | Route | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Yavuz Sultan Selim Bridge | Europe – Asia side | TRY 110 |
| Eurasia Tunnel (day) | Gayrettepe – Göztepe | TRY 280 |
| Eurasia Tunnel (night) | Gayrettepe – Göztepe | TRY 140 |
| Osmangazi Bridge | İzmit Bay crossing (Bursa direction) | 1,170 TL |
Using HGS on Out-of-Town Routes
There are no toll crossing points when going to Şile and Ağva, but due to weekend congestion, you may experience traffic on the return. You reach Sapanca in about 2 hours; on this route, you can use the TEM highway instead of the Osmangazi Bridge. In the direction of Bursa and Uludağ, crossing the Osmangazi Bridge saves about 40 minutes compared to crossing the Gulf of İzmit by ferry. If you plan a long-distance trip like Cappadocia, you need to load your HGS balance before the journey because you will make multiple bridge and highway crossings in total. If you use the Eurasia Tunnel between 00:00-05:00 at night, you pay half of the daytime fee—you can save by timing your city crossings to these hours.
Rental Conditions — Insurance, Deposit and Contract
Conditions you need to know before renting a Nissan Qashqai: compulsory traffic insurance is legally tied to the vehicle's registration, and the deposit and mileage limit are set out in the rental agreement. At Rent-Trip, all prices are quoted VAT included, and the rental agreement is signed at delivery.
Compulsory Traffic Insurance and Coverage Scope
Like every vehicle registered in Turkey, the Nissan Qashqai is covered by compulsory traffic insurance; this insurance guarantees the other party's material damage in an accident. Additional insurance packages may be offered at the time of rental, but their scope varies for each vehicle. Which coverages are valid and whether they are included in the rental price are listed one by one in the contract. We recommend that you ask about the scope of additional coverages such as comprehensive insurance at delivery; they are set out in the contract, so do not guess.
Deposit, Mileage Limit, and Payment Terms
The deposit amount and mileage limit vary depending on the vehicle class and rental duration; the exact figures are set out in the rental agreement. The security block is made with a credit card registered in the main driver's name and is released after the vehicle is returned. Payment can be made by credit card or cash at delivery; since all prices are VAT included, no additional taxes will arise. The daily fee of 2,800 TL includes the compulsory insurance and the infrastructure required for HGS usage.
Things to note in the contract and at delivery
The rental agreement is signed next to the vehicle at delivery; the contract clearly states liability in case of damage, fuel policy, and return conditions. Noting existing scratches and dents in a report when you take the vehicle prevents disputes at return. Regardless of the delivery point in the city, the contract is completed with the same procedure; since we have no physical office, all transactions take place at the vehicle's location. We recommend that you read the deposit refund conditions and additional fee clauses before signing the contract.
Weekend getaway with Nissan Qashqai — routes
With its SUV body, automatic transmission, and 158 hp power, the Nissan Qashqai is a practical option for weekend getaways from the metropolis. Its petrol engine is sufficient for comfortable long-distance cruising, and the 5-seat layout provides flexibility for short vacations with family or friends. The routes below summarize the main getaway points within driving distance from the city center.
- Şile and Ağva: These two districts on the Black Sea coast are about a 1.5-hour drive from the European side; suitable for weekend hiking and fishing.
- Sapanca: The lake area, about 2 hours from the city center, is one of the most well-known destinations for breakfast and short-stay getaways.
- Bursa and Uludağ: Bursa, reached by crossing the Osmangazi Bridge, is suitable for day trips with its historical bazaars and the foothills of Uludağ.
- Cappadocia: This long route of about 8 hours requires a more comprehensive plan for those who want to test the Qashqai's boot capacity and driving comfort.
HGS is mandatory for bridge and motorway crossings; 110 TL for the Yavuz Sultan Selim Bridge and 1,170 TL for the Osmangazi Bridge are deducted from the HGS balance. The Eurasia Tunnel operates with a tariff of 280 TL during the day and 140 TL at night. Crossings not paid within the deadline are subject to a fine of four times the fee. Before heading out on routes to Şile, Ağva, or Sapanca with a Qashqai rented from Rent-Trip, it's worth checking the HGS balance.
When choosing the pick-up point for a weekend getaway, consider the start of your route. Departing from the Asian side to Sapanca takes less time than from the European side, while Şile and Ağva are reached in similar times from both sides. For the Bursa direction, the Osmangazi Bridge connection provides faster access from the European side. Rent-Trip delivers to the European and Asian sides of the city and to both airports, so you can decide where to pick up the car based on your route.
Conclusion — The Nissan Qashqai Rental Decision
The decision to rent a Nissan Qashqai starts with a clear price in the SUV class: 2,800 TL per day, VAT included. Weekly rental comes to 16,800 TL, and monthly to 58,800 TL, which is 21 times the daily rate. This pricing structure means that weekly and monthly rates are more advantageous than the daily rate; for any plan lasting longer than a week, paying daily unnecessarily strains the budget.

- Payment: A credit card in the main driver's name is mandatory for the security hold; the deposit amount is set out in the rental agreement.
- Delivery: Rent-Trip brings the car within the city and to IST and SAW airports; there is no physical office, and all procedures are completed at the meeting point.

Weekend routes within 1.5 hours to Şile and Ağva and 2 hours to Sapanca offer a comfortable getaway with the vehicle's petrol engine and automatic transmission.
The essence of the decision is this: the Nissan Qashqai, at 2,800 TL/day, is a clear option in terms of price, equipment, and delivery network for those seeking an automatic SUV. Reading the mileage limit and deposit conditions in the contract before taking the car protects your budget from surprise costs – these items are set out in the rental agreement in every rental.
Airport transfer with Nissan Qashqai — practical plan for IST and SAW
After landing in Istanbul, having a Nissan Qashqai ready at the terminal exit significantly shortens your trip to the city center compared to public transport transfers. The car is delivered to Istanbul Airport (IST, Arnavutköy) on the European side and Sabiha Gökçen Airport (SAW, Pendik) on the Asian side. If you provide your flight details in advance, delivery is scheduled according to your landing time; in case of delays on international flights, the new landing time is tracked without extra charges.
From Which Airport to Where?
| Destination | IST (European side) | SAW (Asian Side) |
|---|---|---|
| Şişli, Beşiktaş, Levent | Shorter distance | Osman Gazi Bridge or Eurasia Tunnel may be required |
| Kadıköy, Üsküdar, Ataşehir | Bridge or tunnel crossing required | Shorter distance |
| Hotel delivery | Delivery at terminal exit | Delivery at terminal exit |
The rental period starts from the hour the vehicle is delivered; for passengers arriving late at night, charging starts from the delivery time. Using your own vehicle for transportation to the city center offers a more predictable cost than taxi and transfer fees, especially if you will make multiple stops or have a lot of luggage.
