Mobility Scooter Rental Istanbul | Hotel Delivery

A mobility scooter rental in Istanbul is a comfortable way to cover longer distances if you can walk a few steps but tire on long sightseeing days. A scooter is steered with handlebars, has a comfortable swivel seat and a basket for your bag, and is driven at walking pace along the city’s promenades, squares and parks. We deliver the scooter to your hotel, home or the cruise port and collect it at the end.

Mobility scooter or electric wheelchair?

Both are battery-powered, but they suit different users:

• Mobility scooter: steered with a tiller and handlebars, so the user needs good upper-body strength and balance and must be able to get on and off the seat. Usually longer, and better on long, flat routes.
• Electric wheelchair: driven with a joystick, shorter and more manoeuvrable indoors, and easier for users with limited arm or trunk strength. See our electric wheelchairs.

In Istanbul’s narrow old streets, crowded bazaars and small hotel lifts, a compact folding scooter or an electric wheelchair is easier to manoeuvre than a large road scooter.

Typical scooter features

• A folding or dismantling frame that fits in a car boot, on travel models.
• A range of about 10–20 km per charge, depending on the model and the terrain.
• A top speed of about 6 km/h, with a speed dial to drive more slowly in crowds.
• A user weight limit of about 115–135 kg, depending on the model.
• Lights, a horn and a front basket on most models.

Where to ride a mobility scooter in Istanbul

Some of the best routes for a mobility scooter rental in Istanbul are flat and wide: the Galataport waterfront, the Bosphorus shore between Beşiktaş and Ortaköy, the Kadıköy–Moda seafront on the Asian side and the squares around Sultanahmet. Steep areas such as Galata, Cihangir and parts of Beyoğlu are better reached by taxi.

Drive on pavements and pedestrian areas at walking speed, give way to pedestrians and avoid roads with traffic. Do not ride a scooter after drinking alcohol, and switch it off before getting on or off.

Cruise passengers and short stays

If you arrive by cruise ship, we can deliver your mobility scooter rental in Istanbul to the Galataport terminal so you can start exploring straight away, and collect it before you sail. For hotel stays we deliver to the reception or your room. Contact us with your ship and arrival time and we will arrange the details.

Is a mobility scooter safe for me?

Before you book, make sure the user can sit upright without support, turn the handlebars with both hands, see and hear traffic around them and get on and off the seat safely. If any of these is difficult, an electric wheelchair is usually the safer choice. Our team will watch the first few metres of driving at delivery and only leave once you are comfortable with the controls, the brakes and the speed setting.
