Car Rental in Turkey: Frequently Asked Questions

Prices start from about €19 per day for an economy car in the low season (November-March) and from about €32 per day in July-August. Compact automatics start from about €26, SUVs from about €38 and minivans from about €45 per day. Weekly rentals are cheaper per day, and monthly rentals cheaper still. All our prices include mandatory insurance, VAT and unlimited mileage.

Your passport, a valid driving licence held for at least 2 years, and a credit card in the main driver's name for the security deposit. If your licence is not in the Latin alphabet (for example Arabic, Cyrillic or Chinese), also bring an International Driving Permit.

Tourists can drive in Turkey with a valid foreign licence. An International Driving Permit is only needed if your licence is not printed in the Latin alphabet. We still recommend carrying one if you have it, as it simplifies police checks.

21 years for economy and compact cars, with at least 2 years of driving experience. SUVs and minivans require 25, and premium cars 27.

The rental can be paid by debit card, bank transfer or cash on arrival, but the refundable security deposit normally needs a credit card. Contact us on WhatsApp before booking if you only have a debit card and we will tell you the options for your car class.

Turkish motorways, bridges and tunnels use an electronic system called HGS. Every one of our cars has an HGS tag, so you simply drive through. After the rental we charge only the exact tolls you passed, with the receipt list.

Yes. We operate 24/7 at all the airports we serve. Give us your flight number and our team will wait in the arrivals hall even if your flight is delayed.

Yes. Motorways and main roads are modern and well maintained. City traffic in Istanbul can be intense, and mountain roads need care. Drive on the right, keep your headlights on in tunnels, and call 112 in an emergency or our 24/7 line for any problem with the car.

Cross-border travel is not allowed by default. If you plan to visit Northern Cyprus, Georgia or Greece, contact us at least 7 days before pick-up so we can check whether the car and insurance allow it.

Mandatory third-party liability and Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) with an excess are included. You can add Full Protection to reduce the excess to zero, including tyres, glass and headlights.

Cancellation is free up to 48 hours before pick-up. Later cancellations or no-shows may be charged one rental day.
