Minivans car rental in Turkey
Compulsory insurance and a full tank come with every minivan rental in Turkey: 25 minivans, from ₺2,240 a day, brought to any address in Istanbul or Antalya and to the airports we serve there. VAT included — the price you see already carries the 20% VAT, and the delivery address, date and time are agreed with a manager before the booking is fixed.
What Minivans Car Rental in Turkey Includes
Minivans car rental in Turkey here means 25 vehicles across 11 brands, each handed over clean with a full tank, prices quoted VAT included and the car delivered to your address rather than collected from a counter.
Fleet size and what you get with every minivan
Rent-Trip keeps 25 minivans on this page, each supplied clean with a full tank. The line-up runs from the Toyota Proace Verso at ₺2,240 a day to the Mercedes-Benz V-Class at ₺7,714 a day, with 16 nine-seat cars, 6 eight-seat and 3 seven-seat models between them. Body styles split into 15 minibuses, 8 minivans and 2 MPVs, so a group of six and a group of nine are not chasing the same vehicle. Every rate on this page is VAT included, the 20% value-added tax already inside the figure you see. Fuel follows a full-to-full rule: the car leaves with a full tank and comes back full. Full-to-full means plan your last refuel before return; missing fuel and a refuelling service fee are charged as set out in the rental agreement.
Delivery to your address instead of an office counter
We have no physical office; the minivan is brought to any location in Istanbul or Antalya by appointment. Return goes to the same delivery point on the date and time written into the contract; a different drop-off point may carry a fee, and that fee sits in the rental agreement rather than on this page. The delivery address, date and time are fixed with a manager ahead of the booking, so confirm them early — a nine-seat minibus booked for a Friday morning in peak season is harder to move than to reserve.
What the price covers and what it does not
- VAT included: every daily, weekly and monthly rate on this page already includes Turkey's 20% value-added tax.
- Compulsory traffic insurance: compulsory third-party insurance covers every registered vehicle in Turkey by law, so each minivan carries it.
- HGS: the toll tag for bridges and motorway gates is required; the mechanics are described on our HGS page.
- Security hold: a credit card in the main driver's name is required, with the amount set out in the rental agreement.
- Fuel: full-to-full only — no pre-paid tank and no full-to-empty option is offered.
Weekly rates work out at the daily rate times six and monthly at the daily rate times twenty-one, which is where the per-day figure drops on a longer booking.
Minivans car rental in Turkey by seats, gearbox and fuel
Three numbers decide most minivans car rental in Turkey bookings: how many people travel, who drives, and what fuel you prefer. Across the 25 minivans on this page, 16 carry nine seats, 6 carry eight and 3 carry seven — so the seat count you need is usually in stock, though not in every gearbox or fuel combination.
7, 8 or 9 seats — matching the car to your group
We rent 7-, 8- and 9-seat minivans: 3 seven-seat, 6 eight-seat and 16 nine-seat cars on this page. Seven-seat options are the two MPVs — the Dacia Jogger and Dacia Lodgy — plus the Mercedes-Benz V-Class, a rear-wheel-drive minibus with the strongest engine in the range at 190 hp. Eight seats come in the Fiat Ulysse, the Volkswagen Transporter and the Mercedes-Benz Vito, among others. Nine-seat cars come in both minibus and minivan bodies, so a nine-seater does not automatically mean the boxiest body. A seven-seat MPV is the smaller body for a family of four, and a nine-seater is built around passenger count, so tell the manager your luggage as well as the head count.
Automatic or manual, diesel or petrol
22 minivans are automatic and 3 manual; 24 run on diesel and 1 on petrol. The three manual cars are the Dacia Jogger, Dacia Lodgy and Renault Trafic — all front-wheel drive, all with a 1.0 to 2.0 L engine. The single petrol model is the Dacia Jogger, which also happens to be one of the cheaper ways into a seven-seat car. Everything else in the fleet burns diesel, including all 22 automatics. Manual cars sit in the middle of the range (₺4,081–₺5,000), so pick one for the seats rather than the saving — but only if the driver is genuinely comfortable with a clutch in city traffic after a flight.
Minivan models side by side
Specs differ by model — seats, gearbox, engine and drivetrain all vary across the 25 cars. The table below covers the models most often requested; every row is a real car you can book on this page.
| Model | Seats | Gearbox | Engine | Drive |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Toyota Proace Verso | 9 | Automatic | 2.0 L, 150 hp | Front |
| Citroën SpaceTourer | 9 | Automatic | 2.0 L, 150 hp | Front |
| Hyundai Staria | 9 | Automatic | 2.2 L, 177 hp | Front |
| Peugeot Expert Combi | 9 | Automatic | 1.6 L, 120 hp | Front |
| Volkswagen Caravelle | 9 | Automatic | 2.0 L, 150 hp | Front |
| Dacia Jogger | 7 | Manual | 1.0 L, 110 hp | Front |
| Opel Zafira Life | 9 | Automatic | 2.0 L, 150 hp | Front |
| Fiat Ulysse | 8 | Automatic | 2.0 L, 150 hp | Front |
| Renault Trafic | 9 | Manual | 2.0 L, 150 hp | Front |
| Mercedes-Benz Vito | 9 | Automatic | 1.7 L, 136 hp | Rear |
| Mercedes-Benz V-Class | 7 | Automatic | 2.0 L, 190 hp | Rear |
Rear-wheel-drive models handle a loaded nine-seat cabin differently on steep roads; check the drivetrain column prior to choosing. On a full nine-seat load, only the two Mercedes-Benz cars are rear-wheel drive; every other minivan on this page drives the front wheels. If your route includes long motorway stretches between Istanbul and the coast, the 177 hp Hyundai Staria and the 190 hp V-Class carry the most powerful engines on this page. Delivery in Antalya works the same way as anywhere else we cover: the car arrives at the address agreed when booking.
Minivans Car Rental in Turkey for Families and Groups
Families and groups book minivans for the same reason: everyone travels in one car, with the luggage, and nobody is left sorting out a second vehicle. Our 25 minivans cover 7-, 8- and 9-seat layouts, and the choice usually comes down to how many people travel and how much luggage goes with them.
Family trips with child seats and luggage
Child seats are agreed with the manager when booking, and luggage space is what most families ask about first. Seat count and luggage pull in opposite directions in any minivan — the trade-off is simple arithmetic, not a specification. Three of our cars are seven-seat MPVs, six are eight-seat and sixteen are nine-seat, so a family of four with three large cases often fits a seven-seater comfortably while a group of eight with the same luggage needs the bigger cabin. Tell the manager the child's age and the number of cases when you book, and the seat layout is matched to your group before the car is delivered. Ask about a child seat at booking rather than at hand-over: what is possible is agreed then.
Long-distance driving across Turkey
A rented minivan suits long intercity runs, and HGS is required for bridges and motorway gates. The Istanbul–Antalya route is one some groups drive, and a nine-seat diesel minibus is a common choice for it; the petrol Dacia Jogger suits shorter hops better, since it is the only petrol car on this page. Twenty-four of the 25 minivans run on diesel, which matters when planning fuel stops on a multi-day loop. Plan tolls and fuel stops before a multi-day drive; the HGS mechanics are described on our HGS page. On steep climbs a loaded nine-seat cabin behaves differently from an empty one — leave a little more room on the uphill sections and use engine braking on the descents.
Group trips that need one vehicle
- Airport arrivals: we deliver to any address in Istanbul or Antalya, and the delivery address, date and time are agreed with a manager before the booking is fixed.
- Full-to-full fuel: the car comes clean with a full tank and is returned with a full tank; missing fuel and the refuelling service fee are set out in the rental agreement.
- One driver, one card: the security hold needs a credit card in the main driver's name, and the other passengers simply travel.
- Return point: returning to a different point may carry a fee, which is set out in the rental agreement — worth settling before the group splits up.
Documents and Conditions for Minivans Car Rental in Turkey
Every driver on a minivan booking needs three things for the booking: a passport, an entry stamp and a home driving licence. The compulsory third-party cover comes with the vehicle by law, and the security hold runs on a credit card in the main driver's name. We confirm the document set with you when the booking is agreed, before any car is scheduled for delivery.
What a foreign driver needs at hand-over
Bring your passport, entry stamp and home driving licence; add an International Driving Permit if your licence is not in Latin script. A foreign licence is valid for up to six months from the date you entered the country, after which it must be exchanged for a Turkish one at any nüfus müdürlüğü. Bilateral and multilateral agreements can change that rule for some nationalities, so check your case ahead of a long stay. Six months counts from the entry stamp, not from the day you collect the minivan — a driver who arrived in spring and books for late summer is inside the window, one who has been here since last winter is not.
Insurance, tolls and the security hold
- Compulsory traffic insurance: compulsory third-party liability cover applies to every registered vehicle here by law, so each of our 25 minivans carries it.
- HGS: the motorway and bridge payment tag is required; the mechanics of how it works are described on our HGS page.
- Security hold: a credit card in the main driver's name is required, and the amount is set out in the rental agreement.
- Delivery and return: the car goes to any address in Istanbul or Antalya by appointment, and returning it to a different point may carry a fee set out in the same agreement.
Age and driving-experience requirements rise with the class of car, and the exact thresholds for this class are agreed when booking. Read the deposit, excess and delivery-fee section of the rental agreement before you sign it — those figures live there and nowhere else, and knowing them upfront avoids a surprise at hand-over.
Booking Minivans Car Rental in Turkey with a Manager
Booking runs through a manager rather than a checkout screen. You tell us the dates, the seat count you need and where the car should go, and we confirm what is actually free in the fleet of 25 minivans before anything is fixed. A 9-seat diesel automatic and a 7-seat petrol manual are not interchangeable on a family trip, so the conversation starts with the group, not with the car.
What to send us before the booking is fixed
- Dates and times: the pickup date and time and the return date and time, both agreed with the manager in advance.
- Delivery address: any address in Istanbul or Antalya, or one of the airports we serve there — the exact point is confirmed when booking.
- Group size: how many adults and children travel, so we can match 7, 8 or 9 seats to the luggage you bring.
- Gearbox and fuel: automatic or manual, diesel or petrol — 22 of the 25 cars are automatic and 24 run on diesel.
- Driver's documents: passport, entry stamp and home driving licence, plus an International Driving Permit if your licence is not in Latin script.
- Card for the hold: a credit card in the main driver's name is required for the security hold.
Delivery, return and the paperwork
We have no physical office and no counter to queue at: the minivan is brought to the address you give, by appointment, and returned to the same point at the date and time written in the contract. Returning to a different point is possible and may carry a fee, which is set out in the rental agreement. The car arrives clean with a full tank and goes back full-to-full; if the tank is short, the missing fuel and a refuelling service fee are charged as the agreement describes. Every minivan carries the compulsory third-party cover required by law, and prices on this site are VAT included.
Two things are worth settling in the first message rather than the last. Dates come first — 16 of the 25 have nine seats, and groups often ask for them, so a firm date early keeps the choice open. And long bookings work out cheaper per day: weekly rates run at the daily rate times six and monthly at the daily rate times twenty-one, so a two-week trip is priced differently from fourteen separate days. Tell the manager the whole plan and the quote reflects it.
The delivery address, date and time are agreed with a manager prior to the booking being fixed, so confirm them early.
Picking up and returning minivans car rental in Turkey
Every minivan on this page is handed over at the address you give us, not at a counter you have to find. We have no physical office: the car is brought clean and with a full tank, and the return goes to the same point at the date and time written into the contract. The delivery address, the date and the time are agreed with a manager ahead of the booking being fixed, so settle them early rather than the evening prior. Rent-Trip delivers throughout Istanbul and to both its airports, and to any address in Antalya and to Antalya Airport (AYT) and Gazipaşa-Alanya Airport (GZP).
The hand-over itself is short if the paperwork for your minivans car rental in Turkey is ready. What a foreign driver needs at the meeting is set out in the agreement, and a credit card in the main driver's name is required for the security hold. The documents are agreed with the manager when booking, as the rental agreement states.
Fuel is the point most travellers get wrong. The vehicle is supplied with a full tank and must come back with a full tank — full-to-full is the only option we offer, with no pre-paid tank and no full-to-empty. Anything missing is charged as the missing fuel plus a refuelling service fee, both set out in the agreement.
- Same return point: the car goes back where it was delivered, on the date and time in the contract.
- Different return point: possible, with a fee set out in the rental agreement — ask before you book.
- Fuel: refuel close to the return address, so the tank is full at the agreed time.
- Tolls: HGS covers bridges and motorway gates; the mechanics are described on our HGS page.
Two practical notes from our own bookings. Returning a nine-seat minibus at a busy airport is agreed like any other return: the point and the hour are written into the contract. And if your trip runs late, tell the manager as soon as you know: the return time is fixed in the contract, and moving it afterwards is a conversation, not a given.
Why Travellers Choose Minivans Car Rental in Turkey with Us
The reason travellers book a minivan with Rent-Trip is simple: the car comes to you, fully fuelled, and the details are agreed when booking. We keep 25 minivans on this page — 11 brands, 7 to 9 seats, from ₺2,240 a day for the Toyota Proace Verso to ₺7,714 a day for the Mercedes-Benz V-Class. Every price you see is VAT included, so the figure on the page is the figure you agree.
What that means in practice:
- Delivery instead of a counter: we have no physical office anywhere; the vehicle is brought to any address in Istanbul or Antalya by appointment, and the address, date and time are fixed with a manager before the booking is confirmed.
- Full-to-full fuel: the car arrives clean with a full tank and goes back the same way, so you plan your last refuel before return rather than paying for a refuelling service.
- One class, one decision: 16 nine-seat, 6 eight-seat and 3 seven-seat cars mean a group of six and a group of nine are choosing from the same short list, not from whatever happens to be left.
- Gearbox and fuel that suit the route: 22 automatic and 3 manual minivans, 24 diesel and 1 petrol — enough choice to match a long intercity run or a week of short hops.
- Terms in writing: the deposit, the excess and any delivery fee sit in the rental agreement, not in a verbal promise at hand-over.
In our own bookings the question that decides the car is rarely the model — it is luggage behind the third row. Seats and suitcases compete for the same space in every minivan on this page, and that single difference shapes most of the trips we arrange for families and groups travelling together.
Prices are worked out per day, and longer bookings come out lower per day: a week is charged at six daily rates and a month at twenty-one, which is why a fortnight often costs proportionally less than two separate weekends. We would rather you saw that arithmetic before you choose a car than after.
The fleet on this page runs from the Toyota Proace Verso at ₺2,240 a day to the Mercedes-Benz V-Class at ₺7,714 a day — a spread that covers a plain nine-seat workhorse and a rear-wheel-drive cabin with 190 hp. If you are unsure which end of it fits your group, say so when you book and the manager will narrow it down with you.
