Car rental in Antalya is the simplest way to make the coast your own. Antalya is the capital of the Turkish Riviera, the main Mediterranean airport (AYT) sits 13 km from the city centre, and it's the natural starting point for Kemer, Belek, Side and Alanya. Without a car most resorts stay "hotel and beach"; with one, the region opens up.
A couple landed at AYT around 22:40, picked up the keys at the T1 kerb by flight number, and were checked into their Lara hotel before midnight — no shuttle, no taxi queue.
Unlike Istanbul, the Antalya region has no toll roads at all — no HGS surprises on the coastal motorways. AYT also has the friendliest pricing of any major Turkish airport, with around two dozen local operators competing directly with the international chains.
Where to pick up the car
Antalya Airport is one of the busiest in Türkiye and the only international airport in the region. The centre is 13 km away — about 25 minutes off-peak and up to 40 minutes at evening rush (around 18:00). Major operators and the popular aggregators all work straight from the terminals.
T1 or T2
AYT has two terminals — T1 (international) and T2 (domestic). Always return the car at the terminal you're flying out of. The hop between them is short, but with luggage at peak times it adds 15–20 minutes. Confirm the terminal on your return ticket beforehand.
Hotel delivery
Antalya is the main hub for hotel delivery across the whole Mediterranean coast. Kemer (40 km west), Belek (40 km east), Side (75 km), Alanya (135 km), Lara and Konyaaltı within the city — the car is brought to reception and collected from there at the end. For an all-inclusive in Belek or Side, this is often easier than collecting at AYT.
A family in Belek booked delivery for two days only — the car arrived at the hotel gate at 09:00, took them to Aspendos and Side, came back at 19:00. Total cost less than two private taxi day trips.

Fiat Fiorino in Turkey
Everything went very well, they met us at the station, took us to the office and gave us a better car than we ordered. There were no problems when returning the car, we took the car with full insurance. After the return we were taken to the train station free of charge.

Everything went well, I am satisfied, I will contact you in the future. Thank you.
Renault Megane Sedan in Turkey
Everything was great! We received the car at the specified time, we were able to extend it for one more day during the trip without any problems. Olga was always in touch, fully supervised our booking.
Toyota Corolla Sedan in Turkey
It went well, the car was delivered on time, the car was clean, in good working order, for a week of use I had only positive impressions. From minuses - I wanted Toyota, instead of it they brought a choice of Opel or Kia (compact crossovers) - the class is higher, but I wanted a sedan Toyota. And payment by card - I thought from the card through the terminal will write off 330$, but in fact the calculation was in lira and wrote off about 350$ (cash even with the ATM fee would have been cheaper).
Fiat Fiorino in Turkey
Everything went great, even better than expected. The car is beautiful, the deposit was returned immediately. I will recommend you to friends and acquaintances !

All ok the employees are polite. The only thing we arrived without connection. We had to hook up to call the company. They didn't meet us and didn't even know which terminal.
Antalya as a coast-wide base
What makes Antalya useful is that it's a hub. From the city you can drive to most of the region's headline sights in a day and be back for dinner. Plan 3–5 days of rental: Kemer and Olympos for one day, Pamukkale on its own with an early start, Side and Aspendos for another. That fills a week comfortably.
Pamukkale is the headline trip: 240 km and around 4 hours each way. Parking at the Pamukkale–Hierapolis entrance is around $5, the ticket $25 per adult, free for under-7s. Many stop at the thermal pools on the way back. Cappadocia is 540 km / 7–8 hours with an overnight in Konya.
A couple drove the D400 from Antalya to Kaş in five hours instead of the navigation app's three. Two long mountain stops, one swim near Olympos. They came back saying the road was the holiday.
Closer in: the Düden Waterfalls (1.5 km apart), Kursunlu (~21 km), Perge (~14 km), the Aspendos theatre (~50 km), and the Termessos ruins in the Taurus. For canyons go to Saklıkent; for mountains, Olympos with the Chimaera flames.
The hub logic works in reverse too: from Antalya you can start a road trip west — Kaş, Fethiye, Ölüdeniz, Bodrum — and end in Dalaman (one-way $150–250). The west coast then flies you home from a different airport.

Driving the city
Antalya isn't Istanbul — traffic is moderate, the roads are good, and the region is one of the easier places for a foreign driver.
D400 and the Taurus
The main coastal road is the D400 — a quality dual carriageway that turns into a mountain switchback through the Taurus west of Kemer. Sharp bends, long descents, limited visibility. Take it slowly; that's better than any overtake.
A guest from Edinburgh added 40 minutes to the navigation estimate on the Kemer–Kaş leg and arrived calm. The neighbour who tried to keep to the original ETA arrived sweating and shaken at the same hotel.
Parking in Kaleiçi
The old town of Kaleiçi is closed to cars except for the paid İSPARK zones. Kerbside parking is a guaranteed fine — Kaleiçi is one of the busiest fine spots in the region. Park at the covered İSPARK or at Hadrian's Gate and walk in. Outside Kaleiçi, parking is usually free: at hotels, in Lara, Konyaaltı and the malls.
Scooters at dusk
In Lara, Konyaaltı, Kemer and Side, summer evenings see plenty of scooter traffic. Riders weave between lanes and come from the right with little warning — extra attention pays off.
Frequent Questions
AYT is 13 km from the centre — 25 minutes off-peak via the D400 and up to 40 minutes at rush hour (usually around 18:00). The airport connects directly to the coastal D400, so getting to Lara, Konyaaltı or Kemer from the terminal also takes about half an hour. Taxi to the centre is around $15–20.
AYT has T1 (international) and T2 (domestic). Always return the car at the terminal you're flying out of — the hop between them is short, but with luggage at peak times it adds 15–20 minutes. Confirm the terminal on your return booking before you set off.
Yes — cross-region one-way is standard. Antalya → Istanbul typically costs $200–300, Antalya → Dalaman $150–250. Cars with this option go fast in summer, so book ahead. A useful scenario: end a road trip west (Kaş, Fethiye, Ölüdeniz) and fly home from Dalaman.
Yes — Antalya is one of the main hubs for hotel delivery on the coast. The car is brought straight to reception and collected from there at the end of the rental, with no return trip to AYT. For Kemer (40 km), Belek (40 km), Side (75 km) and Alanya (135 km) it's often easier than collecting at the airport.
With most suppliers free delivery covers central Antalya, Konyaaltı, Lara and the beach areas of those districts; some also cover Belek and Manavgat. Kemer, Side and Alanya are usually paid by distance. Each supplier sets its own free zone — confirm at the booking stage.
The old town is closed to cars and kerbside parking is a guaranteed fine. Use the covered İSPARK lot near Kale Kapısı or the parking at Hadrian's Gate. Kaleiçi itself is compact and easy to walk. By regional reputation, Kaleiçi is one of the busiest fine spots in the entire Antalya region.
Mostly yes. Hotels typically include free parking, and Lara, Konyaaltı and the suburbs have plenty of street spaces. Major shopping centres (TerraCity, MarkAntalya, Mall of Antalya) park for free with a purchase. Paid beach parking appears in high season at the busiest sections of Konyaaltı and Lara.
The Marina (Yat Limanı) area is pedestrian — park outside, at Hadrian's Gate or at the İSPARK by the entrance to Kaleiçi. The Marina is then a 10–15 minute walk along the seafront. Konyaaltı Beach has its own car park, and from there you can take the Antray tram across the city to the Marina.
No — Antalya and the coast (Kemer, Side, Belek, Alanya) have no toll roads at all. HGS only operates on motorways near Istanbul, Izmir and on the road to Ankara. The coastal D400 and the drive to Pamukkale are toll-free. The car will still carry an HGS sticker, but you'll only need it on a long road trip out.
On the resort streets, yes — particularly in the evenings. Lara, Konyaaltı, Kemer and Side see plenty of scooter and motorbike traffic. Riders weave between lanes and come from the right with little warning. On beach streets and narrow lanes, drive with extra attention and check mirrors before each lane change.
The D400 is a quality dual carriageway, but west of Kemer it turns into a mountain switchback through the Taurus: sharp bends, long descents, limited visibility. Take it slowly — that's better than any overtake. The most beautiful sea views are on this stretch. Add 30–40% to the time the navigation app shows.
Yes — it's the standard one-day trip with an early start. Around 240 km / 4 hours each way via the O-32 and D330. Parking at the Pamukkale–Hierapolis entrance is about $5, the ticket $25 per adult, free for under-7s. Many travellers stop at the thermal pools on the way back. Aim to be back before dark.
Pamukkale (240 km / 4h), the Aspendos amphitheatre (~50 km), the Termessos ruins in the Taurus, the Saklıkent canyon, the Düden waterfalls (1.5 km apart) and Kursunlu (~21 km), the ancient city of Perge (~14 km), Olympos with the Chimaera flames. Most fit into a single daylight trip; Pamukkale needs its own full day.
Around 540 km and 7–8 hours each way, usually with an overnight in Konya or Aksaray. As a day trip it's not realistic. If you do drive, the standard split is Antalya → Konya → Cappadocia with two or three days in Cappadocia itself. The alternative is a domestic flight from AYT to Kayseri (ASR) or Nevşehir (NAV) for $30–60.
The lowest prices are in January and February (from $38/day average), and some local suppliers offer rates from $7–15/day. Peak is July and August ($69–70). If your dates are flexible, the shoulder seasons of March–May and September–October give the best balance of price and weather.
