Rent WiFi in Turkey: How Booking, Pick-up and Return Work

Want to rent WiFi in Turkey but not sure how it works in practice? This guide walks through the whole rental process with StayinWifi: booking online, choosing how long to rent, picking the device up, paying, and returning it at the end of your trip.

Booking in four steps

1. Choose your dates. Enter the start date and end date of your rental on the booking form.
2. Choose how you receive it. Select airport pick-up, hotel delivery, or delivery to another address.
3. Choose how many devices. Each WiFi device connects up to 6 phones, tablets or laptops; larger groups can book more than one.
4. Add your details and pay. Enter your contact details, check the order summary and pay securely.

If you have a discount or referral code, you can enter it during booking.

Rental durations and long-rental discount

You can rent a WiFi device for daily, weekly or monthly use, so it fits anything from a short city break to a long stay. You set the exact period by choosing your start and end dates.

• A few days: a weekend in Istanbul or a short business trip.
• A week or two: a classic round trip or a beach holiday.
• A month or more: long stays, remote work or visiting family.

Rental starts from €5.90 per day, and longer rentals get a discount. Staying longer than planned? You can extend your rental.

Pick-up options

When you book, you choose where the rental starts:

• Airport pick-up, 24/7: Istanbul Airport (IST), Sabiha Gökçen Airport (SAW) and Trabzon Airport.
• Office pick-up: our Bursa office.
• Hotel or Airbnb delivery: enter the hotel or residence name and room number.
• Delivery to an address: shipping to an address anywhere in Turkey.

For airport pick-up, bring your passport. Arriving at Istanbul Airport? The step-by-step pick-up guide is on our Istanbul Airport pocket WiFi page. Staying in the city, the Istanbul WiFi rental page explains hotel delivery.

Payment and cancellation

• Secure payment: card payment with 3D Secure verification.
• No hidden fees: all prices are shown on the website, and you see the order summary before you pay.
• Free cancellation: up to 24 hours.

After payment, your order is confirmed and the device is prepared for your pick-up point or delivery address.

Returning the device

You also choose the return when you book. The return point does not have to be the same as the pick-up point:

• Return at one of the airport return points: Istanbul Airport, Sabiha Gökçen or Trabzon.
• Return at the Bursa office.
• Have the device collected from an address, such as your hotel.

Please bring everything that was in the box: the device, power bank, charging cable and adapter. A fee applies for lost or unreturned items; see our FAQ for details.

Tips before you book

• Count your devices. Add up the phones, tablets and laptops in your group. Up to six fit on one modem; above that, book a second one so nobody has to share a slow queue of downloads.
• Match the dates to your flights. Airport pick-up and return run 24/7, so choose the day you land as the start date and the day you fly home as the end date, even for night flights.
• Have your stay details ready. For hotel or Airbnb delivery, you will need the hotel or residence name, the room number and the street, plus the province and district.
• Use a phone number you can be reached on. A mobile number with the right country code makes it easy to contact you about your delivery.
• Think about the return first. If your last night is in a different city from your first, choose a return point or collection address that suits the end of your trip, not the start.
• Book before you fly. Your device is reserved and ready when you land, instead of looking for a solution in the arrivals hall.

What you are renting

The rental gives you unlimited 4G/5G internet on Turkcell's network across Turkey, under a fair usage policy, for up to 6 devices per modem, with a power bank included. For battery life, setup and daily use, see our page on the portable WiFi device.

Choose your dates, pick-up point and number of devices on the booking form; it takes a couple of minutes. Our support team answers questions 24/7 on WhatsApp, weekends included.
