KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Ankara
- Cheap car rentals in Ankara enhance the flexibility of travelers who want to access various destinations in the city. For you to get a car from any of the Ankara car rentals, you have to be 21 years or older. For certain types of cars, especially luxury cars, you may only be able to rent them from any of the car rental locations in Ankara if you are 25 years or older. At the time of picking up your car, you have to be in possession of a valid driver’s license, which has to be appearing in your name as one of the mandatory documents.
- Steep and hilly terrains are what characterize most of the parts of Ankara. Most of the roads in the city, especially those away from the city center, are narrow with meanders. Therefore, when driving along these roads, it is advisable to maintain lower speeds whenever possible. This is key to ensuring your safety as well as the safety of other road users. When driving your rental car on highways with multiple lanes, you should remember that it is common for drivers to change lanes without warning. Therefore, always keep an eye on the car(s) and maintain a safe distance from them.
- When driving your rental car in Ankara accompanied by your child, you must comply with the child seat rules. These rules require that any child who is less than 4’9” tall or weighing less than 77 pounds must always travel in an appropriate restraint system. This could be an infant-only seat, a child car seat, or a booster seat, depending on the weight or age of the child. You can get the child restraint system suitable for your child in any of the cheap car rentals in Ankara upon request. You will, however, have to pay an additional daily fee for any of these child restraint systems.
- Make the most of your time in Turkey’s capital and rent a car upon your arrival to explore everything you’ve dreamed of seeing whenever you want to. Ankara is a big city and there is much to discover, from the Mausoleum to the Citadel. Don’t rely on public transport to get from A to B, and conveniently get to all the sights by car.
- When flying into Ankara Esenboga Airport, the easiest way to get off to the right start in the city is by picking up a rental car directly from the airport grounds. There are some rental car agencies onsite such as Sixt, Hertz, and Budget. Most of them have the pickup location at the terminal, so follow the signs to the car rental center, and be in the heart of Ankara in about 40 minutes. By public transport it will take you almost 2 hours.
- Although driving in Ankara is generally a pleasant experience, the road conditions can be poor in some areas. If possible, try to avoid driving at night, as some streets are not well-lit in the nighttime and drivers may not see bumps or other obstructions on the road. Driving defensively is also recommended in Ankara, as the local drivers have a reputation of being somewhat unpredictable. Always double-check before entering an intersection or changing lanes.
- Being stuck in traffic is not a pleasant experience, regardless of where you are, so avoiding the rush hours is a good start. As with most big cities, increased traffic is a regular occurrence, usually on weekdays between 8-9am and 6-7pm. Also note that the drinking limit in Turkey is 0mg, so never drink even a single drink and drive, as law enforcement is extremely strict.
