Commercial van rental in Istanbul: Fiorino, Kangoo or Courier?

Short answer: A standard B (car) licence is enough to rent a light commercial vehicle in Turkey. Our three vans, the Fiat Fiorino, Renault Kangoo and Ford Courier, are all diesel with a 5-seat cabin; the main difference is the gearbox: the Kangoo is automatic, the Fiorino and Courier are manual.

Who rents a light commercial vehicle?

• Moving house or carrying furniture: when a truck is too much but a car is too small, a light van carries boxes, single furniture pieces and appliances.
• Shops and small businesses: picking up stock from wholesalers, moving goods between a warehouse and a shop, or covering for a company vehicle that is in service.
• Field and service teams: the 5-seat cabin takes the crew and the equipment in one vehicle.
• Short busy periods: an extra vehicle for a few days or weeks during a season, campaign or trade fair.

What is the difference between Fiorino, Kangoo and Courier?

All three are light commercial vehicles driven on a B licence. If you will carry loads through Istanbul traffic all day, the automatic Kangoo makes the drive noticeably easier.

Looking for a panel van?

A panel van has no rear windows and only front seats. Our light commercial vehicles have a 5-seat cabin with a load area behind the rear seats, which is enough for boxes, stock, single furniture pieces and team equipment. We do not have large panel vans or truck-class vehicles in our fleet; for moving a whole household in one trip, a removal company is the better choice.

Which licence do I need to rent a van in Turkey?

A B (car) licence is enough for the Fiorino, Kangoo and Courier; no separate commercial licence is needed. The general rental threshold is age 21 with at least one year of driving experience; the current age and licence requirement for each vehicle is shown on its vehicle card. Visitors can read car rental requirements for the documents to bring.

Which toll class is a Fiorino, Kangoo or Courier?

In the Turkish highway authority (KGM) tariff, two-axle vehicles with a wheelbase shorter than 3.20 metres are Class 1. These three models are below that, so on bridges and motorways they pay the same Class 1 toll as a car. Tolls are paid automatically through the HGS tag in the vehicle.

Is the speed limit the same as for a car?

Not always. Vehicles registered as a "kamyonet" (light truck) have lower legal speed limits than cars. Check the vehicle type on the registration document at pickup and follow the road signs; if unsure, ask our team at handover.

Daily or monthly rental?

For a move or a one-off job, a daily rental is enough. If your work needs a vehicle every day, monthly car rental keeps planning and budgeting simple. Companies needing several vehicles or long-term rental can see fleet rental. Comparing renting with buying? Read company car: rent, lease or buy.

What should I check when renting a van?

• Mileage: ask about the daily mileage limit before heavy use; see how mileage limits work.
• Secure the load: loose items slide forward when braking; put heavy pieces low and towards the front.
• Handover check: photograph any scratches or dents in the load area at pickup; our pickup and return checklist helps.
• Deposit: how it is taken and refunded is explained in car rental deposit.
• Conditions: all rules are on the rental conditions page.

Where can I pick up the van?

You can collect the vehicle at one of our Istanbul locations or have it brought to your workplace with delivery to your address.
