Rent a car in Antalya

Yes — hotel delivery is the most popular option for Kemer, Belek, Side, Lara and Alanya. The car is brought to reception and collected from the same point at the end of the rental, with no return transfer to Antalya needed. The delivery fee scales with distance but often costs less than a return airport taxi.

Around 240 km and 4 hours each way. A standard one-day trip with an early start. Parking at the Pamukkale-Hierapolis entrance is paid (~$5). Entry is $25 per adult, free for under-7s. Many travellers stop at the thermal pools on the way back.

Around 540 km and 7–8 hours each way. The route runs through the Taurus mountains and Konya. It works as a two-day trip with an overnight in Konya. An early start helps you cross the mountain stretches before the heat of the day. Full route plan is on our blog.

Kaleiçi runs as a paid İSPARK zone with fixed locations. Kerbside parking isn't an option — it's one of the most common spots for fines in the region. Planning straight for a paid car park and walking into the old town on foot is the practical approach. The old town itself is compact.

No — a standard compact or saloon with an automatic gearbox is enough for the D400. A crossover is more comfortable on the Taurus switchbacks and helps on gravel tracks down to the wilder bays, but on the main coastal stretch the difference isn't critical. A minivan is only needed for a larger group.

Yes — one-way along these routes is standard. The relocation fee depends on distance: typically from $200–300 for Antalya–Istanbul and from $150–250 for Antalya–Dalaman. Cars with this option go faster in summer, so it's worth booking ahead.

It depends on the class and the supplier. Economy cars usually start from $100, midsize $200–500, minivans up to $500. Several of our suppliers don't take a deposit at all, and others waive it when full coverage is taken. That option is easiest to set up at the booking stage.

Not with most local suppliers — debit cards are accepted online and the balance plus deposit can be settled in cash on arrival in USD or EUR. International chains at AYT still tend to require a credit card in the main driver's name, so it's worth filtering for local suppliers if a credit card isn't an option.

It depends on the format. If the trip stays within a resort, a car is often hired situationally — 1 to 3 days for specific outings (Pamukkale, the canyons, neighbouring towns). For routes along the coast or trips inland, the car is usually taken for the full holiday. Hotel delivery works either way.

Diesel is usually the better choice on long routes — lower price per kilometre and lower consumption. On Antalya–Kaş–Fethiye specifically, the saving is noticeable. Petrol is the standard for short city drives and situational rentals. There are plenty of stations on the D400, fewer between Kaş and Patara.

Fines in Turkey go to the registered owner — the supplier — and reach you after the rental, sometimes two weeks or a month later. Keeping the booking card active for a couple of months after the trip is sensible. Paying within 15 days online or through PTT earns a 25% discount.

Yes — typically 20 to 30 minutes from landing to driving away. The supplier meets you by flight number, the contract is signed in the arrivals area or the nearby parking, and there are no shuttles or terminal transfers. Most rental points are next to the terminal exit.
