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. Several renters mention how smooth this was, including Anna 🇷🇺 who picked up in Antalya and returned in Mersin. Many owners also deliver directly to your hotel and collect the car when you're done.

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."
Fiat Egea in Turkey
I am a businessman and I am in Antalya on business. I liked your agency. Quite democratic conditions and the price of the car. Although I say that at the beginning I was a little disappointed because Alexey told me about a diesel car, but it turned out to be a gasoline. So I will quite use your services in the future.
Renault Clio 5 in Turkey
It's all good.
Dacia Jogger in Turkey
We liked everything. There were no problems at all. So we will probably come to you in the future.
Dacia Lodgy in Turkey
We rented a Dacia Lodgy 7 Seater in July 2023. 3 adults and 4 children fit in the cabin, even 2 suitcases and hand luggage fit in the trunk. The car was delivered to us directly to the airport, but with a slight delay. Dacia was not afraid of the steep streets of Kalkan, the cabin was perfectly cooled by air conditioning. Roads in Turkey and interchanges are not complicated, so we recommend renting a car. You get complete freedom of movement. The next time we visit Turkey we will turn to the same company. We liked everything!

We rented a car on takecars.com in Antalya. The car was needed for only 24 hours, and we booked 4 days before the rental day. On other sites car rental was from 3 days and with a large deposit. Here we booked the car for only 1 day without any deposit (with full insurance). The car was brought to us at the airport at night as soon as we arrived, and also took us to the airport to the next plane (also at night). We are 100% satisfied with the service. Already recommended to our friends. Thank you
Mercedes-Benz Tourer Vito in Turkey
Everything went great. 👍
Renault Clio Grandtour in Turkey
Everything went without problems, I am satisfied with the service. Especially check in and check out - very fast, I recommend. The car met the expectations. The money was not divorced.
Fiat Egea in Turkey
I left an application for a Fiat, but the lessor provided a Renault symbol citing the fact that it is the same. Naturally, there was no time to argue and we had to take it. Everything would have gone well, if one day the battery did not die when we were on a distant beach. We pushed the car to the nearest restaurant where, to our luck, there was an English-speaking employee. He summoned one of his friends with a car and they gave us a light. As the proceedings showed - the battery died due to opening the car door with the key (although the landlord insisted that I had forgotten to turn off the headlights - even if that was true, what kind of battery must the car have if it died in an hour with the headlights on)? Well the process of returning the car took a long time - waiting for it in the parking lot. good thing we weren't late for our flight
Fiat Egea Multijet in Turkey
Everything was great. Met and handed over the keys to the car. The machine is not to be said to be frisky, but it performed its functionality 100%. The delivery of the car was also fast. The master was polite. We forgot the cord from the phone, he found it and returned to us. In general, everything is excellent. Your service has already been recommended to friends and colleagues
Fiat Egea in Turkey
I would recommend the company Fiat Egea. From the point of view of arrangements, acceptance and delivery of the car everything went smoothly and wonderfully. At the time of registration, the manager sold us a story with insurance, but after refusal with the wording that it is too expensive for us - stopped. At the same time he warned about possible risks. They are quite high, so I would recommend using the insurance if possible. The car itself was in good condition, the only thing was that the brakes were squeaking and getting hot - they obviously need maintenance. But I think this problem arose later, so there are no complaints.

We had to wait for a staff member the morning before the flight and got nervous
Renault Clio 5 in Turkey
It was not a good start! I had specified a specific arrival time. Called when I landed! I ended up waiting outside for exactly one hour! I was transferred from phone to phone. So the organization of the rental was disgusting!

Getting the car was quick and easy, no problems for the entire rental period. I highly recommend your site)

🚗 Free upgrades when available
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.
Our renters have crossed Turkey from the Aegean to the Black Sea and everywhere in between. We're compiling their routes, tips, and stories into guides that go beyond the tourist brochure. From the Antalya coastline (Antalya, Alanya, Side, Kemer) to the volcanic landscape of Cappadocia, to navigating Istanbul's chaotic traffic and the mountain roads of eastern Anatolia — these are real experiences from real trips.
