When cruising through Istanbul or the rest of Turkey, you'll need insurance. Almost every supplier needs proof of insurance before you rent a car. Many countries require the driver to have insurance. You may be able to purchase temporary insurance with the rental agency.

Many major card issuers, like MasterCard or Visa, give some insurance on your rental, however, there are usually restrictions. For example, they may not cover your rental car if you reserve a luxury or larger vehicle. Check the rental car company's policy before you decide.

Most suppliers allow you to choose which policy you want. Below is a list of the most common ones.

We usually recommend that customers choose the full-to-full policy. This policy is the most straightforward, and you simply top off the tank before you bring it back.

Unlimited miles is a good choice if you plan to do a bit of sightseeing or visit a lot of clients all over Istanbul. You can cruise as much as you want without incurring extra charges. Make sure to read your rental agreement to see if there are any restrictions.

Before you get going on your Istanbul vacation, check a few things prior to leaving the car rental lot. It's worth the time to:

• Check out the vehicle and be certain there is no dents or scratches. If you notice any, write it down on the paperwork
• Make you have a properly inflated spare tire, lug wrench, and jack in the trunk
• Get familiar with the controls of your car. Adjust the mirrors and seats to your liking, and figure out how to turn on the lights and windshield wipers
• Get comfortable working the entertainment and GPS (if available). It's best to limit any unneeded distractions when you are navigating a new region
