Full-Day Private Car with Driver in Istanbul means a private Vito car for just you and your group for 10 hours, where the driver follows your itinerary: where you want to go, when you stop, and how long you stay at each place. The price is fixed for the whole car: $130 for the European side of Istanbul, and $140 for both the European and Asian sides, with payment upon arrival.
When to choose a private car instead of taxis or group tours?
- Families and children: A Vito car accommodates up to 6 people plus luggage and a stroller, so you don't have to wait for a taxi on every trip.
- Freedom in time: Group tours have fixed departure and return times, while the private car runs according to your schedule.
- Shopping: The car waits for you at the mall or market, and bags stay inside.
- More than one area in a single day: You can visit both the European and Asian sides without changing transportation.
