Car Hire Izmir Useful Information

Overview: Izmir, the third-largest city in Turkey, is a bustling metropolis with a rich history, stretching back to ancient times. It offers a harmonious blend of modernity and antiquity, from its beachfront Kordon to the ancient Agora. It is a perfect place to hire a car and our intelligent booking engine thoroughly searches for the most competitive rates, appropriate car category, added features, exclusive offers, and discounts that cater to your specific requirements.

1. Driving in Izmir with your Hire Car:

  • Traffic: Being a major city, Izmir can have heavy traffic, especially during rush hours. It's advisable to avoid driving during peak times if possible.
  • Parking: There are numerous parking garages and lots around the city, but street parking can be challenging to find, especially in central areas.
  • Customs: Turkish drivers can be aggressive compared to Western standards. Be cautious at intersections and always be aware of your surroundings.

2. Best Vehicle to Hire:

  • For city driving and short excursions, a compact or economy car will suffice.
  • If you plan to explore the surrounding countryside or travel with a family, consider a mid-size sedan or SUV for comfort and luggage space.

3. Nearest Airport:

  • Izmir Adnan Menderes Airport (ADB) is the main international gateway to the city.
  • Distance and Route: The airport is situated approximately 18 kilometers (11 miles) south of the city center. You can reach the city center via the O-30 and E881 highways, which takes around 25 to 30 minutes in normal traffic.

4. Recommended Places to Visit:

By Car:

  • Çeşme: A picturesque coastal town known for its beaches, thermal springs, and the medieval Çeşme Castle. It's around an hour’s drive west of Izmir.
  • Alaçatı: Famous for its historical stone houses, windmills, and vineyards, it's located near Çeşme and is perfect for a leisurely drive.

On Foot:

  • Kemeraltı Bazaar: Dive into the bustling atmosphere of this historic market, filled with shops, cafes, and the ancient Kızlarağası Han.
  • Agora: Wander through the remnants of an ancient Roman bazaar in the heart of Izmir.
  • Konak Square: See the iconic Izmir Clock Tower and take a stroll along the nearby Kordon, a seafront promenade.

Tips:

  • Ensure you're aware of local traffic rules, and always carry your driving license, IDP (if required), and vehicle documentation when driving.
  • Road signs in Izmir and major roads will be in Turkish, but many are intuitive or have symbols similar to international standards.
  • Always keep some Turkish Lira on hand for tolls if you plan to use highways.

Izmir is a vibrant city with plenty to offer, and having a car will allow you to explore both its urban attractions and the surrounding regions with ease. Enjoy your trip!
