Driver for Trade Fairs
A driver for trade fairs gets your team to the venue before the doors open and keeps your samples and stand material in the car between trips. Istanbul's main venues are far apart and each has its own traffic problems. A vehicle booked by the day means you can stop thinking about the road during the busiest week of your year.
Where Are the Main Venues?
| VENUE | DISTRICT | WHAT TO PLAN FOR |
|---|---|---|
| TÜYAP Fair Convention and Congress Center | Büyükçekmece, far to the west | A long drive from the centre; leave early in the morning |
| Istanbul Expo Center | Yeşilköy, near the Marmara shore | Easy from the coast road, busy at opening and closing |
| Istanbul Congress Center and Lütfi Kırdar | Harbiye, in the city centre | Short distances, little stopping space on the street |
| Haliç Congress Center | Sütlüce, on the Golden Horn | Reachable from both shore roads |
What Does a Fair Week Usually Need?
- An early start, so that the stand team arrives before the visitors
- Room for samples, brochures and stand material
- A daily run between the hotel and the venue at fixed times
- Evening client dinners, which often run later than planned
- Flexibility for the day your senior manager flies in
Which Vehicle Should a Stand Team Book?
For most teams of up to six, a Vito is the practical answer, with space for six large bags or a good amount of stand material. A separate E-Class lets a director keep their own schedule while the team stays at the stand. Larger groups can use a Sprinter on the morning and evening run.
How Is a Fair Week Priced?
Each day is an eight-hour block at the rate for your vehicle, or a quote for the whole week if the pattern is regular. Waiting at the venue is included. For the busiest fairs, the fleet and the roads fill up early, so send your dates as soon as you have them. See also our guide to trade fair days in Istanbul.
Common Questions
Can You Pick Up From the Exhibitor Entrance?
Usually, depending on the venue's rules for that fair. Your driver will find out the arrangements and agree a meeting point with you.
Can the Car Stay at the Venue All Day?
Waiting is included. Parking at a large fair can be limited, so your driver may wait nearby and come back when you send a message.
Can We Book Only the Morning and Evening Runs?
Ask us. The usual block is eight hours; if your pattern is unusual, we will quote it.
