Wheelchair rental for Galataport cruise passengers
Galataport is Istanbul's cruise port on the Karaköy and Tophane waterfront, within easy reach of Galata, Taksim and the historic peninsula. Many cruise passengers have only one or two days to see the city, and long distances between the sights can be hard with reduced mobility. Our wheelchair rental for Galataport makes those days easier.
How it works for cruise passengers
- Tell us your ship, date and the time you will be ashore.
- We agree a meeting point near the port or deliver to your hotel if you stay in Istanbul before or after the cruise.
- We collect the chair before you return to the ship.
Which wheelchair to choose for a port day
For a single day, a lightweight folding wheelchair is easy to take in taxis. If you want to cover Sultanahmet, the Grand Bazaar and Galata in one day, a folding electric wheelchair saves a lot of energy.
Around the port
The Galataport promenade along the Bosphorus is level and wide, with cafés, shops and the Istanbul Modern museum nearby. See all rental equipment or send us your cruise details for advice.
Wheelchair rental Galataport: staying in Istanbul before or after the cruise
If your cruise starts or ends in Istanbul, many passengers add a few nights in the city. In that case we deliver the wheelchair to your hotel in Karaköy, Taksim or Sultanahmet and collect it before you board. One booking covers the whole stay, and you see the full price, including delivery, before you send the request.
Can cruise visitors arrange a short wheelchair rental at Galataport or their Istanbul hotel?
Direct answer: Yes. You can request equipment for your port visit and arrange delivery at Galataport or your hotel, subject to the agreed meeting point and schedule.
What to plan
Include the ship’s arrival and departure times, the exact terminal or hotel address, and the hours you need the equipment. A short booking can help with a port day or a longer stay; confirm the return time so collection can be arranged before you leave. Port access and vehicle stopping points can vary, so agree a practical handover location with our team rather than assuming the equipment can be brought to the gangway.
Same-day reservations may be possible when the schedule allows. Prices exclude VAT; there is no deposit. Pay in cash on delivery or by bank transfer. Delivery is free only with a valid coupon that offers it; any applicable fee is shown before confirmation.
