Car hire in Antalya is the easiest way to make the Turkish Riviera feel like yours. Antalya is the capital of the region, its main airport (AYT) is just 13 km from the centre, and it’s the perfect launch point for Kemer, Belek, Side and Alanya. Without a car most resorts stay “hotel and beach”. With one, the whole coast opens up.
Most of our British and German guests take a car for 3–5 days. One day in Pamukkale, one in the Olympos mountains, another along the coast towards Kaş — that’s the ideal rhythm for Antalya.
Unlike Istanbul, there are no toll roads anywhere on the Mediterranean coast — no HGS surprises. Antalya also offers some of the friendliest pricing of any major Turkish airport, with around two dozen local suppliers competing hard against the international chains.
Where to pick up the car
Antalya Airport is one of the busiest in Türkiye and the only international gateway in the region. The city centre is 13 km away — about 25 minutes off-peak and up to 40 minutes at evening rush hour (around 18:00). Every major chain, dozens of local operators and the popular aggregators all work directly from the terminals.
AYT: T1 or T2
AYT has two terminals — T1 (international) and T2 (domestic). Always return the car to the same terminal you’re departing from. The distance between them is short, but with luggage during peak times it adds 15–20 minutes. Check your return ticket for the correct terminal in advance.
Hotel delivery
Antalya is the main hub for hotel delivery across the entire Mediterranean coast. Kemer (40 km west), Belek (40 km east), Side (75 km), Alanya (135 km), plus Lara and Konyaaltı within the city — the car is delivered to reception and collected from there at the end. For an all-inclusive stay in Belek or Side this is often much more convenient than going to the airport.
If you’re staying all-inclusive in Kemer or Belek, hotel delivery saves both the airport run and the return shuttle. Many guests book exactly this way — one or two days for specific day trips.
Pricing in Antalya follows the seasons. The cheapest months are January (average around $38/day), December and November ($43–44). Spring and autumn sit comfortably at $49–60. Peak season is June–August ($65–70), with August being the highest. The 2026 yearly average for an economy car is roughly $55 per day.
What you can catch off-season
From November to April some local suppliers drop economy cars to $7–15 per day on shorter rentals. These are among the lowest rates you’ll see anywhere in Türkiye.
If your dates are flexible, consider Antalya in February or March. Cars are roughly half the summer price, the coast is quiet and the weather is already very pleasant.
What’s in the voucher
The price usually includes the daily rate, basic insurance, airport surcharge, optional Full Coverage, young driver fee where applicable, and one-way charges to Istanbul ($200–300) or Dalaman ($150–250). Delivery to Lara and Konyaaltı is free with most suppliers; Side, Alanya and Kemer are charged by distance.
Antalya is one of the most competitive rental markets in Türkiye. If a quote is three times higher than the next one, you’re almost certainly looking at an international chain desk at the airport.
Antalya Mietwagenpreise
What makes Antalya particularly useful is its position as a hub. From here you can reach most of the region’s highlights in a day and still be back for dinner.
Plan 3–5 days of car hire for Antalya. Kemer and Olympos for one day, Pamukkale on its own with an early start, Side and Aspendos for another — that makes a full and enjoyable itinerary.
Pamukkale is the big one: 240 km and around 4 hours each way. Parking at the entrance is about $5, entry $25 per adult (free for under-7s). Many people stop at the thermal pools on the return journey. Cappadocia is 540 km / 7–8 hours, usually with an overnight in Konya.
Closer options include the Düden Waterfalls, Kursunlu, ancient Perge (~14 km), the Aspendos theatre (~50 km), Termessos ruins in the Taurus mountains, Saklıkent canyon, and Olympos with the famous Chimaera flames.
The most spectacular stretch of the D400 is west of Kemer. Switchbacks through the Taurus mountains, beautiful sea views and hairpin bends. Drive it calmly — it often becomes the highlight of the whole trip.
You can also start a longer road trip west from Antalya — Kaş, Fethiye, Ölüdeniz, Bodrum — and drop the car in Dalaman (one-way $150–250).

What to know about driving in Antalya
Antalya is noticeably calmer than Istanbul. Traffic is moderate, the roads are good, and the region is one of the more relaxed places in Türkiye for foreign drivers.
The D400 and the Taurus mountains
The main coastal road (D400) is a solid dual carriageway that turns into a mountain switchback west of Kemer. Sharp bends, long descents and limited visibility. Take it at a relaxed pace — that’s far better than trying to overtake.
On the mountain sections of the D400, add 30–40% to the time your navigation app suggests. The mountain drive then becomes part of the holiday rather than a rush.
Parking in Kaleiçi
The old town is largely closed to traffic. Kerbside parking usually results in a fine — Kaleiçi is one of the busiest fine zones in the region. Use the covered İSPARK or the car park at Hadrian’s Gate and walk in. Outside Kaleiçi, parking is normally free at hotels, in Lara, Konyaaltı and the shopping malls.
Scooters on resort streets
In Lara, Konyaaltı, Kemer and Side, summer evenings bring plenty of scooter and motorbike traffic. Riders weave between lanes and appear from the right without warning — a little extra attention goes a long way.
Häufige Fragen
Yes — hotel delivery is the most popular option for Kemer, Belek, Side, Lara and Alanya. The car is brought to reception and collected from the same point at the end of the rental, with no return transfer to Antalya needed. The delivery fee scales with distance but often costs less than a return airport taxi.
Around 240 km and 4 hours each way. A standard one-day trip with an early start. Parking at the Pamukkale-Hierapolis entrance is paid (~$5). Entry is $25 per adult, free for under-7s. Many travellers stop at the thermal pools on the way back.
Around 540 km and 7–8 hours each way. The route runs through the Taurus mountains and Konya. It works as a two-day trip with an overnight in Konya. An early start helps you cross the mountain stretches before the heat of the day. Full route plan is on our blog.
Kaleiçi runs as a paid İSPARK zone with fixed locations. Kerbside parking isn't an option — it's one of the most common spots for fines in the region. Planning straight for a paid car park and walking into the old town on foot is the practical approach. The old town itself is compact.
No — a standard compact or saloon with an automatic gearbox is enough for the D400. A crossover is more comfortable on the Taurus switchbacks and helps on gravel tracks down to the wilder bays, but on the main coastal stretch the difference isn't critical. A minivan is only needed for a larger group.
Yes — one-way along these routes is standard. The relocation fee depends on distance: typically from $200–300 for Antalya–Istanbul and from $150–250 for Antalya–Dalaman. Cars with this option go faster in summer, so it's worth booking ahead.
It depends on the class and the supplier. Economy cars usually start from $100, midsize $200–500, minivans up to $500. Several of our suppliers don't take a deposit at all, and others waive it when full coverage is taken. That option is easiest to set up at the booking stage.
Not with most local suppliers — debit cards are accepted online and the balance plus deposit can be settled in cash on arrival in USD or EUR. International chains at AYT still tend to require a credit card in the main driver's name, so it's worth filtering for local suppliers if a credit card isn't an option.
It depends on the format. If the trip stays within a resort, a car is often hired situationally — 1 to 3 days for specific outings (Pamukkale, the canyons, neighbouring towns). For routes along the coast or trips inland, the car is usually taken for the full holiday. Hotel delivery works either way.
Diesel is usually the better choice on long routes — lower price per kilometre and lower consumption. On Antalya–Kaş–Fethiye specifically, the saving is noticeable. Petrol is the standard for short city drives and situational rentals. There are plenty of stations on the D400, fewer between Kaş and Patara.
Fines in Turkey go to the registered owner — the supplier — and reach you after the rental, sometimes two weeks or a month later. Keeping the booking card active for a couple of months after the trip is sensible. Paying within 15 days online or through PTT earns a 25% discount.
Yes — typically 20 to 30 minutes from landing to driving away. The supplier meets you by flight number, the contract is signed in the arrivals area or the nearby parking, and there are no shuttles or terminal transfers. Most rental points are next to the terminal exit.
