How much does car hire in Ankara cost?

Is hiring a car in Ankara worth it?

A car earns its place on trips beyond central Ankara, including Gordion and Beypazarı; for central sights, EGO's culture-tour bus links Ulus, the railway station, Anıtkabir, Kızılay, Hamamönü, Ulucanlar and Ankara Castle. If your first days are spent around those stops, start the hire when the road trip begins. For the drive out, UK government travel advice for Turkey calls for particular care at night and a slow approach to checkpoints.

Picking up and returning your hire car

At Esenboğa Airport, the terminal map marks rental desks on the arrivals level beside the domestic and international sections. DHMİ puts the airport 28 km from Ankara city centre. Find the supplier's actual hand-over point before leaving arrivals; the airport operator directs rental customers to the A200 and B200 car-park levels for collection and return.

Parking with a hire car in Ankara

Near Ankara Castle, ANPARK lists both a Kale open car park and Kale roadside spaces. Choose the open car park or a marked roadside space before walking uphill.

Pedestrian streets and access in central Ankara

Sakarya Caddesi and its connected streets in Kızılay are closed to vehicle traffic, according to Ankara Metropolitan Municipality. Set a reachable car park as your destination if you are staying near Sakarya, then cover the final stretch on foot. The municipality also has a vehicle-entry-card process for eligible building parking in a pedestrian area; an accommodation address inside such an area is not itself permission to drive in.

Tolls and roadworks on routes out of Ankara

The Ankara–Niğde motorway is tolled, and KGM uses HGS for its listed toll roads. The motorway passes the Gölbaşı and Şereflikoçhisar districts on the way towards Aksaray and Nevşehir. Ask the supplier how the hire car's HGS tag and toll charges are handled before setting off; KGM requires the tag to match the vehicle class.

Day trips by hire car from Ankara

Mogan Lake and Mogan Park at Gölbaşı make a nearby drive: Ankara's municipal guide places them about 25 km from Ankara on the Konya road, and ANPARK lists parking at Mogan. Gordion lies at Yassıhöyük, about 94 km from Ankara according to the provincial tourism authority; navigate to Yassıhöyük for the archaeological site. The same authority puts Beypazarı 99 km north-west of the city centre. For a park trip, the national parks authority places Soğuksu beside Kızılcahamam, about 80 km from Ankara; KGM's current D750 works notice matters on that route. These are place distances, so allow for your actual collection point and return.

Which car should you choose in Ankara?

For central parking and trips around Gölbaşı or Beypazarı, start with the space you need for people and luggage, then compare a compact from $22.31 a day with other classes. Minivan offers start at $71.38 a day if your group needs more cabin space; check the stated seat count and luggage space before choosing one. Automatic transmission is tagged on 71% of Ankara offers. Choose the gearbox separately from the class, and check whether the car's luggage space fits your party.

Documents and driver age for Ankara car hire

Carry your driving licence when driving in Ankara: Turkey's traffic regulation requires drivers to present it on request. The same regulation allows a non-Turkish citizen entering Turkey to use a foreign licence for up to six months, subject to applicable agreements. For a UK-issued licence specifically, UK travel advice says a 1968 international driving permit or a Turkish-notarised UK licence is required. The supplier's own identity documents and licence-history conditions still apply at hand-over. Ankara has 759 offers carrying a young-driver flag; that count does not set a minimum rental age or surcharge. The wider licence rules are on Car Hire Turkey.

Deposit, payment and cards in Ankara

No-deposit terms appear on 42% of Ankara offers. That removes the security deposit for those offers, not the possible damage excess. Card payment is tagged on 66% of offers, while 99% carry a cash-payment tag. A separate 99% have a no-credit-card booking flag; it does not establish that a debit card will work. Match the rental payment method, the deposit method and the named driver's card requirements to the same offer before booking.

Car hire insurance and excess in Ankara

Insurance cover and the excess are separate terms: the excess is the amount you could owe under the cover, while exclusions say when it will not apply. Full CDW is listed as an extra on 90% of Ankara offers, but that label alone does not establish zero excess. Read the included protection, optional cover and exclusions together with the deposit. The Turkey car hire guide explains the wider cover and paved-road terms.

Adding a second driver and extras in Ankara

Second-driver and child-seat extras appear in Ankara offers; 878 offers list a child seat. Add the driver's details to the rental agreement before sharing the driving; an available extra is not necessarily included in the base price. If a child seat is needed for an airport collection, arrange it with the hire before leaving Esenboğa.

Cancellation and changing a booking

Free cancellation is tagged on 72% of Ankara offers. The cancellation deadline and any charges for changing the collection point or dates are set by the individual booking terms. If your itinerary includes a different return city, establish that route and its price before booking; cancellation terms do not make a new return location available.

Choosing an Ankara car hire company

For an airport arrival, the decisive company detail is the hand-over point at Esenboğa; for a city stay, it is the agreed delivery address. The airport map confirms arrivals-level rental desks, while Ankara offers also carry a city-delivery option. Compare the company's payment and return terms for your actual route before choosing.

Ankara car hire questions

EGO says taxis serve designated areas at Esenboğa's domestic and international arrivals and departures levels around the clock. That gives you another way to reach your accommodation if you want to collect the car later.
