Why rent a car in Turkey?
Turkey stretches across two continents and over 780,000 square kilometres of coastline, mountains, ancient ruins, and inland valleys. Buses and domestic flights connect the big cities, but the places that make Turkey unforgettable — the lunar landscape of Cappadocia at dawn, hidden coves along the Lycian coast, the mountain roads of eastern Anatolia — sit beyond any bus timetable. A rental car turns a resort holiday into a proper road trip.
Turkey also happens to be one of the easiest countries to drive in. Roads are well-maintained, lane markings are clear, and signs at every junction are duplicated in English. Even after several hours behind the wheel, you won't feel worn out — the infrastructure is built for comfortable long-distance driving. On TakeCars, every listing shows real photos of the actual car, transparent pricing with insurance included, and reviews from travellers who've driven the same vehicle on the same roads. You're renting from a local person — not standing in an airport queue hoping for the best.
What travelers actually do with their rental cars
🚗 Roman 🇷🇺 took his first rental on a trip through Trabzon, Kars, and Erzurum — eastern Turkey in the dead of winter — and called the experience "qualitative and efficient"
🚗 Evgenii 🇷🇺 picked up at Istanbul airport and drove over 800 km to the Aegean Sea and back, burning just 5 litres per 100 km in a diesel Renault Clio — "no deposit, full insurance, and unlimited mileage is great"
🚗 Natalia 🇷🇺 covered 2,000 km through multiple Turkish cities in a diesel Hyundai Accent — "the car did not let us down"
🚗 Mikhail 🇷🇺 drove from Istanbul to Fethiye and back — about 2,500 km in an Opel Combo
🚗 Andrey 🇹🇷 needed a car to "travel a huge distance in Turkey" — even though he arrived late at night, the team was waiting for him
🚗 Anna 🇷🇺 picked up in Antalya and dropped off in Mersin — "it's mega convenient!"
🚗 Sergei 🇷🇺 rented for a trip to Cappadocia — not his first time using TakeCars — "just like last time, everything went fine"

What owners have done for renters
🤝 Danil 🇷🇺 booked an economy car and got a Renault Megane instead — a higher class, no extra charge: "they gave it to me at the airport, which was very convenient"
🤝 Igor 🇷🇺 ordered a Nissan Qashqai, received a Peugeot of similar class — "the car was new, clean, with winter tires. Service is organized perfectly: brought and picked up on time"
🤝 Iana 🇷🇺 got upgraded from a Dacia Sandero to an Opel Mokka, and the owner calmly accepted a last-minute pickup address change
🤝 Vladimir 🇷🇺 had his car delivered to his hotel and collected at the airport — "the car was in perfect condition, low mileage, clean inside and out"
🤝 Nadezda 🇷🇺 needed an extra day and it was no problem — just paid the daily rate with no fuss. No deposit, no credit card required, cash on the spot
🤝 Sergei 🇷🇺 had connection problems at the airport — paid in cash, no issues. For 10 days with full insurance, the total was "less than 300 dollars"
Where to rent a car in Turkey
TakeCars has suppliers across Turkey's major airports and cities. The most popular pickup spots include Istanbul (both Istanbul Airport and Sabiha Gökçen), Antalya, Izmir, Bodrum, Dalaman, Trabzon, Alanya, and Ankara.
One-way rentals are available between most cities — pick up in Antalya, drop off in Istanbul, or grab a car in Izmir and return it at Dalaman airport.

Customer reviews
Evgenii 🇷🇺 — "I received the car at Istanbul airport in 5 minutes without any problems, and gave it back there in 5 minutes as well. Drove more than 800 km to the Aegean Sea and back, consumption about 5 litres. No deposit, full insurance and unlimited mileage is great."
Jakub 🇵🇱 — "The driver met us at the airport and took us to the rental center, everything took about 15 minutes and we were on our way. The car is excellent, communication with the company is also top notch."
Ihar 🇧🇾 — "Everything was fast, clear and all conditions of the contract were fulfilled! Tolga was pleasant in communication, answered all questions, we received a clean and serviceable car. Our trip was comfortable and unforgettable."
Sergei 🇷🇺 — "The rental cost is one of the lowest. It allowed me to take a car with full insurance. For 10 days the price was less than 300 dollars, which is very budget."

It's all good. We're all happy.
Fiat Egea in Turkey
Everything went exactly as agreed, although we were worried about the lack of prepayment (we do not have a suitable credit card), acceptance / delivery of the car in the specified time and date. In general, we were extremely satisfied with everything - the car and the service!)
Fiat Egea Urban in Turkey
Basically, I liked everything. The cars are new, the registration itself is fast enough, the price tag is not bad. The only thing I would advise is to have a Russian-speaking employee, because of the language issue I waited a long time at the airport.
Fiat Egea Multijet in Turkey
Everything went great! We liked everything, Mustafa did not let us down, the car drove perfectly! We drove 3500 km all over Turkey! We will recommend to our friends, that's for sure!
Renault Symbol in Turkey
Everything was fine.
Fiat Egea Cross in Turkey
The driver met us at the airport and took us to the rental center, everything took about 15 minutes and we were on our way. The car is excellent, communication with the company is also top notch. On the downside, I don't like the system when you have to pick up and return the car with an empty tank. One more unpleasant moment: the company assured me that I could pay the rent by card in dollars, but on the spot there was a conversion into Turkish lira. Otherwise, everything was just fine!

We visit Turkey every year, staying in Kemer. Almost always we rent a car, either for the whole vacation, or for a few days to visit the sights. And now once again there was a dilemma how to book a car - immediately at the airport, or in the Chamber, where the price is usually at least 50%, or even 2 times more expensive. This time we planned a trip by car to Izmir region, for 4 days and in case of renting at the airport the rental period would be 7 days, as we wanted to go to Izmir in a few days upon arrival. On the usual sites, where I booked earlier still faced with the fact that almost all cars were with a mileage limit - from 150 to 250km per day, and the amount of deposit was quite large. And it did not suit us. And now, in one of the reviews I saw a new site takecars. And it turned out that the amount of car delivery to Kemer is reasonable, the deposit is 100$, the choice of cars is very attractive. In the end I stopped on the car Fiat Egea Multijet automatic. On the day of rent we wrote down on WhatsApp with the lessor of the car, the car was brought an hour early, eventually upgraded the class - got a Toyota Corolla hybrid automatic. The process took literally 3 minutes. Great car, perhaps the best of those that we had rented before. In 4 days we also came to pick up the car, within 2 minutes it was given to us. In general, we were very satisfied with the car and the ease of registration and cost - on all parameters can safely put 5 points out of 5

Renault Clio 5 in Turkey
We were given a Citroen C4 as a replacement car, which was quite an unexpected event for us! The car is both higher in class and more spacious! We were two adults and two children, and the trip from the airport to the resort meant a 4 hour drive! So thank you very much for this surprise! The car is fresh, with low mileage. Very sharp and with optimal gasoline consumption. We were very comfortable! Separately I would like to say that there were no problems with communication with the Turkish side. There was a small misunderstanding at the very beginning of our lease, namely, that all the calculations we corresponded in US dollars, and at the time of signing the documents dollars turned into Euros, which significantly increased the cost of rent in terms of Russian rubles! We had to show the correspondence and prove that the original amount was voiced in USD. We agreed on this and there were no more problems! We will continue to use your services and recommend you to our friends!

Everything went great. Mesut was obliging, met, promptly handed the car over. The car is beautiful. After the trip, just as correct and obligatory, he met me and returned my deposit. High five to him, the car and you. Thank you. Waited at the airport with a sign and completely removed our fears and worries. It was our first time renting a car. I will definitely contact you and him again if I am in Antalya.
Fiat Egea Urban in Turkey
Everything is ok, the car was not a Fiat but a Hyundai but everything went well and easy! Thank you!
Opel Crossland in Turkey
In general, the car is good. But there we waited for a man for 2 hours when receiving the car, they brought the car without a seat. We took the seat with the child in our arms in the car at the other end of Istanbul. We returned the car almost ok - only they did not give the calculation of toll roads, we traveled in three cars (3 families were) the same, and only we were charged 2 times more.

The rental was a success except that we were not picked up at the airport, although we had agreed to do so. We lost an hour looking for the car in the airport parking lot.

Turkey is one of our top countries for free class upgrades. Booked a Dacia Sandero, got an Opel Mokka. Reserved a Fiat, received a Toyota Corolla. A perk of renting from local suppliers who want to keep you happy.
What you should know before driving in Turkey
Turkey drives on the right. Roads are excellent, signs are duplicated in English, and international road markings apply — though the stop sign reads "DUR". Local drivers can be assertive, so stay calm and attentive. Speed limits: 50 km/h in towns, 90 km/h on rural roads, 120 km/h on motorways. Blood alcohol limit is 0.50 promille. Foreign drivers can use their home licence for up to 6 months (IDP required for non-Latin alphabet countries).

Toll roads
Turkey's motorways (otoyol) and all Bosphorus crossings are tolled electronically via HGS stickers — no cash accepted at the gates. Most TakeCars rental cars have HGS fitted; just tell your owner to activate it before your trip. Tolls are deducted from your deposit on return. Free alternative roads exist parallel to most motorways if you prefer to skip tolls.
Toll prices, HGS setup, and motorway routes →
Fuel and parking
Fuel costs around 55–63 TRY per litre (~$1.40 USD) for both gasoline and diesel. Stations (Petrol Ofisi, Shell, BP, Opet) are plentiful — most have attendants, and you can say "dolu depo" for a full tank. In Istanbul, use paid garages (10–20 TRY/hour) or free lots near shopping centres; on-street parking is managed by attendants in yellow vests. Coastal resorts have easier parking but it fills up in summer.
Fuel station tips, parking rules, and fine amounts →
Insurance on TakeCars
Every car includes basic third-party liability (TPL) at no extra cost. You can upgrade to CDW, Super CDW, or Full Damage Waiver (FDW) for near-zero excess — cars with FDW are tagged "zero deposit." Evgenii 🇷🇺 highlighted this: his Istanbul rental came with no deposit, full insurance, and unlimited mileage — everything upfront.
Staying connected
Three providers: Turkcell (best coverage for road trips), Vodafone, and Turk Telekom. Tourist SIMs cost 1,000–1,700 TRY (~€26–45) for 28 days — buy from official shops, not street sellers. Free Wi-Fi is available at airports, cafés, and shopping centres. Download offline maps before heading into mountain areas.
