Car hire in Antalya is the easiest way to make the Turkish Riviera feel like yours. Antalya is the capital of the region, its main airport (AYT) is just 13 km from the centre, and it’s the perfect launch point for Kemer, Belek, Side and Alanya. Without a car most resorts stay “hotel and beach”. With one, the whole coast opens up.
Most of our British and German guests take a car for 3–5 days. One day in Pamukkale, one in the Olympos mountains, another along the coast towards Kaş — that’s the ideal rhythm for Antalya.
Unlike Istanbul, there are no toll roads anywhere on the Mediterranean coast — no HGS surprises. Antalya also offers some of the friendliest pricing of any major Turkish airport, with around two dozen local suppliers competing hard against the international chains.
Car rental reviews in Antalya
Antalya Airport is one of the busiest in Türkiye and the only international gateway in the region. The city centre is 13 km away — about 25 minutes off-peak and up to 40 minutes at evening rush hour (around 18:00). Every major chain, dozens of local operators and the popular aggregators all work directly from the terminals.
AYT: T1 or T2
AYT has two terminals — T1 (international) and T2 (domestic). Always return the car to the same terminal you’re departing from. The distance between them is short, but with luggage during peak times it adds 15–20 minutes. Check your return ticket for the correct terminal in advance.
Hotel delivery
Antalya is the main hub for hotel delivery across the entire Mediterranean coast. Kemer (40 km west), Belek (40 km east), Side (75 km), Alanya (135 km), plus Lara and Konyaaltı within the city — the car is delivered to reception and collected from there at the end. For an all-inclusive stay in Belek or Side this is often much more convenient than going to the airport.
If you’re staying all-inclusive in Kemer or Belek, hotel delivery saves both the airport run and the return shuttle. Many guests book exactly this way — one or two days for specific day trips.

Fiat Egea in Turkey
The rental went well, the car met expectations, no complaints here The only unpleasant moment: the car was booked with the condition of no deposit, but on the day of receiving the car in the office I was asked for a deposit, I had to argue and show the voucher, after 30 minutes of waiting in the office managers confirmed that the deposit is really not needed, for this they had to make several calls.
Dacia Duster in Turkey
Everything is excellent and clear. Instead of duster was Peugeot 2008, in excellent condition. The car was brought to the hotel and picked up at the hotel. No questions or complaints, everything is clear

Pricing in Antalya follows the seasons. The cheapest months are January (average around $38/day), December and November ($43–44). Spring and autumn sit comfortably at $49–60. Peak season is June–August ($65–70), with August being the highest. The 2026 yearly average for an economy car is roughly $55 per day.
What you can catch off-season
From November to April some local suppliers drop economy cars to $7–15 per day on shorter rentals. These are among the lowest rates you’ll see anywhere in Türkiye.
If your dates are flexible, consider Antalya in February or March. Cars are roughly half the summer price, the coast is quiet and the weather is already very pleasant.
What’s in the voucher
The price usually includes the daily rate, basic insurance, airport surcharge, optional Full Coverage, young driver fee where applicable, and one-way charges to Istanbul ($200–300) or Dalaman ($150–250). Delivery to Lara and Konyaaltı is free with most suppliers; Side, Alanya and Kemer are charged by distance.
Antalya is one of the most competitive rental markets in Türkiye. If a quote is three times higher than the next one, you’re almost certainly looking at an international chain desk at the airport.
What makes Antalya particularly useful is its position as a hub. From here you can reach most of the region’s highlights in a day and still be back for dinner.
Plan 3–5 days of car hire for Antalya. Kemer and Olympos for one day, Pamukkale on its own with an early start, Side and Aspendos for another — that makes a full and enjoyable itinerary.
Pamukkale is the big one: 240 km and around 4 hours each way. Parking at the entrance is about $5, entry $25 per adult (free for under-7s). Many people stop at the thermal pools on the return journey. Cappadocia is 540 km / 7–8 hours, usually with an overnight in Konya.
Closer options include the Düden Waterfalls, Kursunlu, ancient Perge (~14 km), the Aspendos theatre (~50 km), Termessos ruins in the Taurus mountains, Saklıkent canyon, and Olympos with the famous Chimaera flames.
The most spectacular stretch of the D400 is west of Kemer. Switchbacks through the Taurus mountains, beautiful sea views and hairpin bends. Drive it calmly — it often becomes the highlight of the whole trip.
You can also start a longer road trip west from Antalya — Kaş, Fethiye, Ölüdeniz, Bodrum — and drop the car in Dalaman (one-way $150–250).

What to know about driving in Antalya
Antalya is noticeably calmer than Istanbul. Traffic is moderate, the roads are good, and the region is one of the more relaxed places in Türkiye for foreign drivers.
The D400 and the Taurus mountains
The main coastal road (D400) is a solid dual carriageway that turns into a mountain switchback west of Kemer. Sharp bends, long descents and limited visibility. Take it at a relaxed pace — that’s far better than trying to overtake.
On the mountain sections of the D400, add 30–40% to the time your navigation app suggests. The mountain drive then becomes part of the holiday rather than a rush.
Parking in Kaleiçi
The old town is largely closed to traffic. Kerbside parking usually results in a fine — Kaleiçi is one of the busiest fine zones in the region. Use the covered İSPARK or the car park at Hadrian’s Gate and walk in. Outside Kaleiçi, parking is normally free at hotels, in Lara, Konyaaltı and the shopping malls.
Scooters on resort streets
In Lara, Konyaaltı, Kemer and Side, summer evenings bring plenty of scooter and motorbike traffic. Riders weave between lanes and appear from the right without warning — a little extra attention goes a long way.
