KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Izmir
- An Izmir car rental allows you to explore the coastline of the Aegean Sea as well as inland towns in far greater depth. For example, the resort town of Cesme is about a 30min drive west of Izmir. If you’d prefer to sip wine in the small village of Sirince, head south along E-87 for an hour or so. If you continue southeast along the same road for roughly 5h, you’ll make it to the coastal city of Antalya. Do you want to see what’s going on in the cultural capital of Istanbul? If so, drive northeast from Izmir along O-5 for a little over 5h.
- After finding the right cheap car rentals in Izmir, it’s important to be aware of Turkish holidays that may affect traffic patterns. The first is New Year’s Eve celebrations on January 1. Then, at the start of May is the celebration of Worker’s Day with large parades and gatherings that can slow traffic. On August 30, there are huge country-wide parades to celebrate Victory Day. Often this involves military floats that close down streets and slow down traffic. Lastly, on November 10th at exactly 9:05 am, all traffic stops for about two minutes as sirens commemorate the death of Ataturk, the founder of modern Turkey.
- Although there aren’t any tolls inside the city of Izmir, there are quite a few toll roads (or “otoyols”) that lead to nearby destinations. This includes toll road O-32 that goes heads west to Cesme, toll road E87 which heads south towards Ephesus and southeast towards Aydin, and toll road O-5 which heads north toward Istanbul. Often the toll roads are newer, better, and easier to drive on. There are no cash or credit card payments when going through a toll. Instead, each car (including rentals) must be equipped with an electronic transponder device to pay the tolls. Failure to have this device may result in heavy fines.
- As a tourist in Izmir, there’s no reason to waste time on public transport. When you rent a car, both the Aegean coast and the extensive archaeological sites are within reach. All of Izmir’s attractions, including the hill of Kadifekale, the Weeping Rock on Mount Sipylus, and Agora Open Air Museum are easy to get to by car.
- Ready to rent a car on your visit to Izmir? If you are landing at Adnan Menderes Airport and are on an international flight, then you will find the rental car counters in the Arrivals Hall, which is on the first floor of the International Terminal. If you are arriving on a domestic flight, the rental car desks can be found in the Arrivals Hall of the Domestic Terminal.
- When you drive on Izmir’s roads, you must always keep to the right and pass on the left. Driving on Turkey’s roads is a pleasant experience, but it’s good to know that most drivers will often use their horns and keep their headlights on all the time, especially as roads are unlit at night. As there are many bends on the mountain and coastal roads, it’s best to drive on them during the day, especially considering the fact that many have potholes and lack guardrails.
- The morning rush hour in Izmir begins at 6:50 am, with traffic at its heaviest at 8:30 am. In the evening, traffic jams are more common around 6:50 pm. It’s best to drive nearer the small coastal resorts to avoid the city center’s rush hour traffic. As a transportation hub for eastern Anatolia, Izmir has several busy highways that should be avoided during peak times, including those that lead to both Çeşme and Aydın.

Jun 2017
Cons:
Overselling insurance since the rental is not done using their own site. They insist the legal minimums are not covered and you need to buy the full complete package not just the legal requirement. That increased the cost by 50%. They urged never used sites like kayak or other but only use their Corp site otherwise they will charge extra fees for insurance.CIRCULAR
