Driving in Turkey

Posted by (US) on

We are thinking of renting a car in Antalya for the trip to Kayseri.
We are being told that we cannot rent for one day, we must rent for 3. The price is very low so that is not a problem - - just wondering if we will somehow be penalized for returning it early?
Thinking we will stop over in Konya for a lunch break.
Is there something we should be alert to before we commit??

ALSO! We are being told there is no insurance available. Do we get special coverage from our US insurer? Or is there such a thing as Automobile Travel Insurance??

Many travel insurance policies will have rental car insurance as either a standard or optional benefit. You might also check your credit card to see if it includes any rental car coverage.

In either case, I would confirm that the coverage includes Turkey.

Which company are you renting from? Try to use international brands like Enterprise, Hertz etc, they're available in Antalya. Rentgo is a reliable local brand as an alternative. I'd try to avoid no-name local rental companies.
I've rented car multiple times in Turkey, there never was a minimum 3 days limit and extra insurance was always available. In fact I just checked from Enterprise and one day rental is available. Third party liability insurance is included in the cost but you should be able to buy extra for your car.
