Car rental companies in Turkey
Auto Europe Israel collaborates with a wide network of car rental companies across Turkey, allowing you access to many pick-up and return points throughout the country. You can collect a car upon landing at major airports – Istanbul (IST), Sabiha Gökçen (SAW), Antalya (AYT), Izmir Adnan Menderes (ADB), Ankara Esenboga (ESB), Dalaman (DLM), and Bodrum-Milas (BJV) – or choose convenient urban branches in city centers and popular resorts. Whether you plan to stay in vibrant Istanbul, go on nature trips in Cappadocia, enjoy the beaches of Antalya and Bodrum, or combine several destinations – the variety of stations allows you to create a flexible itinerary and choose the exact place you want to pick up and return the car. Additionally, in most destinations, one-way rentals within Turkey are possible, allowing collection in one city and return in another, subject to availability and standard return fees. Stations are also available near major seaports and tourist sites along the Turkish Riviera, allowing for convenient pick-up or return along your route. The range of categories varies, from compact cars to family and minivans, to perfectly match your needs.
Operating hours vary between companies and branches, and sometimes even between an airport branch and a city branch in the same destination. At many airports, there's broader availability throughout the day, while city centers may have more limited opening hours, especially on weekends and local holidays. It's essential to check in advance that the station hours match your landing time, flight schedules, or city departure plans, ensuring you can pick up the car easily and at a convenient time for you. In some cases, collection or return outside operating hours can be arranged for an additional fee and with prior approval. Allocating a few extra minutes for completing paperwork and checking the car is advisable, especially during busy tourist seasons.
FAQ – Car rental in Turkey
What is the minimum age to rent a car in Turkey, and is there an additional charge for young drivers?
In Turkey via Auto Europe Israel, the minimum age to rent a car is generally 21 with at least one year of driving experience. Drivers aged 21-24 may be subject to a "young driver surcharge" depending on the supplier and car type. Medium/premium categories may require a higher age (often 25-30) and longer driving experience. A credit card in the main driver's name is required for a deposit.
Is an Israeli driver's license sufficient, or is an international license required?
In Turkey via Auto Europe Israel, an original and valid Israeli driver's license is generally accepted, as long as the details appear in Latin/English letters and usually require at least one year of experience. However, some suppliers in Turkey require or recommend an International Driving Permit (IDP)—especially if the license is not in English/Latin or in certain car categories. It is recommended to bring a passport, an Israeli license, and a credit card in the main driver's name, and check on the Auto Europe Israel voucher if an IDP is required at the pick-up station.
What does the basic insurance package include, and what additional insurance is recommended?
When renting a car in Turkey via Auto Europe Israel, the basic package usually includes Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) and Theft Protection (TP) with a deductible, as well as local mandatory Third Party Liability Insurance (TPL/Traffic Insurance). It is advisable to consider extensions such as reducing/waiving the deductible (SCDW/Zero Excess), coverage for windows/mirrors/tires/undercarriage, and extended roadside assistance. Key damage, wrong fuel, fines, and administrative fees are usually not covered. It's important to review the supplier's conditions and exact deductible on the Auto Europe Israel voucher.
Can an additional driver be added, and what is the cost involved?
In Turkey via Auto Europe Israel, an additional driver can be added in most suppliers, provided the additional driver meets age and experience requirements and presents a valid original license. Typically, a daily fee is charged for an additional driver, payable at the station, and sometimes there is a limit on the number of additional drivers. In some Auto Europe Israel rates, an additional driver may be included at no cost—it's recommended to check the booking conditions.
What documents are required to collect the car at the airport?
To collect a car in Turkey via Auto Europe Israel at the airport, you'll generally need a valid passport, the main driver's original driver's license (and sometimes an International Driving Permit IDP depending on the supplier), the Auto Europe Israel booking voucher, and a physical credit card in the main driver's name for deposit and security. Including a flight number in the booking is recommended to identify delays. Local charges for road fees (HGS), fuel, and fines might occur—payable at the station or deducted from the deposit.
Tips for car rental in Turkey
On your way to renting a car abroad? At Auto Europe Israel, we've gathered four practical tips to help you book correctly, smoothly get through the pick-up station, and drive with peace of mind—from booking to return.
Plan the Fuel Policy in Advance
It's advisable to choose "full to full" when possible; return the vehicle with a full tank and refuel near the return point. Keep a receipt and photo of the fuel gauge to avoid unnecessary charges.
Ensure a Suitable Credit Card in the Main Driver's Name
Most rental companies require an international physical credit card in the main driver's name to block a deposit. Ensure sufficient available credit and name matching the booking; prepaid/debit cards may not be accepted.
Understand the Insurance Coverage and Deductible
Check what's included (damage/theft) and the deductible amount. Verify if windows, tires, undercarriage, and roof are covered; consider coverage extension to reduce the deductible if you want broader protection.
Document the Car's Condition at Pick-Up and Return
At pick-up, photograph the car from all angles, including rims, windshield, and interior, and ensure all existing damage is recorded in the contract. At return, photograph fuel/mileage counters and retain the return receipt.
