Published Date: 4/2/20266 min readMudoto

Renting a car directly from the airport is the most convenient way to start your Turkish adventure. Here's everything you need to know.

Major Airports with Car Rental

| Airport | City | Annual Passengers | |---------|------|:----------------:| | Istanbul Airport (IST) | Istanbul | 90M+ | | Sabiha Gökçen (SAW) | Istanbul | 35M+ | | Antalya (AYT) | Antalya | 35M+ | | Esenboğa (ESB) | Ankara | 15M+ | | Adnan Menderes (ADB) | Izmir | 14M+ | | Milas-Bodrum (BJV) | Muğla | 5M+ |

Airport Rental Tips

1. Book in Advance

During peak season (June-September) and holiday periods, vehicles sell out fast. Book at least one week ahead for the best price and availability.

2. Share Your Flight Details

Provide your flight number when booking so the rental company can accommodate delays.

3. Plan Your Terminal Exit

At major airports, rental offices may be connected via shuttle. Factor in extra time for the transfer.

4. Late Night Arrivals

If arriving late, choose a provider with 24/7 service. Mudoto offers round-the-clock pickup at all major airports.

5. Check the HGS Device

Roads from airports to city centers usually require highway toll payment via HGS (electronic toll). Ensure your rental car has an active HGS device.

One-Way Rentals

You can pick up your car at one airport and drop it off at another city. Popular routes include:

  • Istanbul → Antalya
  • Ankara → Izmir
  • Antalya → Bodrum

One-way drops may incur an additional fee — confirm beforehand.
