Turkey Car Rental Mini Guide

Renting a car in Turkey is generally safe, but it's essential to be aware of road conditions, traffic rules, and other factors:

1. General Rules of the Road:

  • Turkey follows right-hand driving, and speed limits are in kilometers per hour (kph).
  • Seat belts are mandatory for all passengers.
  • Use of mobile phones without a hands-free system is prohibited while driving.
  • Child seats are required for young children.

2. Traffic Conditions:

  • Traffic can be heavy, especially in major cities like Istanbul and Ankara. Rush hours can be particularly congested.
  • Rural areas and smaller towns generally have lighter traffic.

3. Road Terrain:

  • Turkey has a diverse terrain, including well-maintained highways, mountain roads, and coastal routes.
  • Road conditions can vary. Major highways are typically in good shape, but some rural roads may be less maintained.
  • In mountainous areas, you may encounter steep and winding roads.

4. Best Type of Vehicle:

  • The choice of vehicle depends on your travel plans:
    • Compact or Economy Cars: Suitable for city driving and short distances.
    • Midsize or Full-Size Cars: Comfortable for longer journeys and families.
    • SUVs: Ideal for exploring varied terrains and for off-road adventures.
    • Minivans: Spacious for larger groups or families.

5. Distances from Airports to Main Resorts (Approximate):

  • Istanbul Airport (IST): Located about 40 kilometers from Istanbul city center.
  • Antalya Airport (AYT): Around 13 kilometers from Antalya.
  • Dalaman Airport (DLM): Approximately 6 kilometers from Dalaman and 90 kilometers from Fethiye.
  • Bodrum Airport (BJV): About 35 kilometers from Bodrum.
  • Izmir Adnan Menderes Airport (ADB): Located around 18 kilometers from Izmir city center.

Before renting a car in Turkey, ensure you have the required driver's license, insurance, and documentation. Familiarize yourself with Turkish traffic rules and regulations, and exercise caution, especially in busy city centers. Turkey offers beautiful destinations, and having a car can provide flexibility in exploring its diverse landscapes and historical sites.
