Izmir car rentals

Top tips for renting a car in Izmir

• 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.
