By car to Kaş

If you need car rental in Antalya for a trip to Kaş, we deliver the vehicle to any address in the city and to Antalya Airport (AYT) or Gazipaşa-Alanya Airport (GZP), with the address, date and time agreed with a manager before the booking is fixed.

Car rental in Antalya for a trip to Kaş and how the car reaches you

Rent-Trip works without a rental counter: the car is brought to you, and the delivery address, date and time are fixed with a manager before the booking is confirmed. That model matters on this route — you pick up where you are and drive the D400 south on your own schedule.

Where we bring the car

We deliver to any address in the city and to Antalya Airport (AYT) and Gazipaşa-Alanya Airport (GZP). In practice that covers the whole urban area and the coast around it: Kaleiçi, Lara, Konyaaltı, Antalya Bus Station, Belek, Kemer and Side are all inside the delivery area, so a hotel in Kaleiçi or a house in Kemer is served the same way as the terminal forecourt. The car arrives clean and with a full tank. Delivery outside these places is arranged case by case and is not promised on the site — in our practice a request for a village address halfway to Kaş is usually settled in the same conversation as the dates. Tell the manager the exact address and a time window when you book; the vehicle is brought to that address, not to a meeting point you have to reach yourself.

How the booking is agreed with a manager

The delivery address, the date and the time are agreed with a manager before the booking is fixed, and the same conversation settles everything the contract will later spell out. Return goes to the same delivery point at the date and time written in the rental agreement; returning to a different point is possible by arrangement, and any additional fee for it is set out in the rental agreement rather than quoted here. The tank rule is simple: the car comes full and goes back full (full-to-full), otherwise the missing fuel and a refuelling service fee are charged as the agreement describes. We do not offer a pre-paid tank or full-to-empty option.

• Documents: a passport with the entry stamp, your home driving licence, and an International Driving Permit if the licence is not in Latin script.
• Security hold: a credit card in the main driver's name is required for it; the amount is set out in the rental agreement.
• Age and experience: the requirements rise with the class of car, so a nine-seat minivan is not booked on the same terms as a compact hatchback.
• Insurance: the compulsory third-party cover, is on every registered vehicle in Turkey by law.
• Taxes: our prices are quoted VAT included, with 20% VAT already inside the figure.
• Tolls: HGS is the electronic payment system for bridges and motorway gates; how it is handled on your booking is agreed when booking.

One thing worth knowing before you choose dates: a foreign licence is valid for driving in Turkey for at most six months from the day you entered the country, after which it has to be exchanged for a Turkish one at any nüfus müdürlüğü. For a Kaş trip that is rarely the binding constraint — but if you are staying the season, book the car early in your stay rather than at the end of it.

D400 distance and driving time with car rental in Antalya for Kaş

Car rental in Antalya for a trip to Kaş puts you on the D400, the coastal road that connects Antalya with Kaş, and the drive is steady rather than fast: repeated curves, climbs and descents mean your average speed stays well below the posted limits.

What the coastal drive is like

The D400 runs along the coast with repeated curves and climbs, so the drive is steady rather than fast. Beyond Kaş the same road continues to Kaputaş Beach, Kalkan and Patara, and on the way to Kaş the character changes: the first stretch out of the city is wide and quick, the middle section climbs through pine-covered slopes, and the last hour into Kaş is a sequence of tight bends above the water. Posted limits on the route follow the standard Turkish scale — 50 km/h inside settlements, 90 km/h on two-way intercity roads and 110 km/h on divided roads — and local signs take priority where they set a lower figure. Plan the drive inside daylight and leave room for the unexpected: a slow truck on a blind curve costs more time than the map suggests. On my own runs south I budget the whole afternoon rather than the morning, because the stops are the point of the trip. Fuel on the coast is widely available, so fill up before the emptier stretches rather than hunting for a station after dark.

Stops worth planning on the way

• Kaputaş Beach: a short cove below the road with a steep staircase down and a car park above — 20–40 minutes is enough for a swim stop.
• Kalkan: a harbour town just past Kaş where you can stop for lunch and leave the car in a paid car park near the marina.
• Patara: the long sand beach and the ruins behind it sit a few minutes off the D400 and reward a half-day rather than an hour.
• Kaş itself: the endpoint of the trip, with narrow streets and limited parking in season — arriving before evening makes finding a space far easier.
• Saklıkent and the gorge road: a detour inland from the D400 that adds a climb and a cooler alternative to the coast on a hot afternoon.

Comparing the trip by car class

For the Kaş road the class matters less than the gearbox: 60 of the 65 cars on this page are automatic, and on a route of this many bends an automatic takes the strain out of the climb-and-brake rhythm. A Crossover is the practical middle — the higher seating position helps on the coastal curves, while the body stays short enough for the car parks in Kalkan and Kaş. Groups should look at the 13 nine-seat minivans, starting with the Toyota Proace Verso at ₺2,240 a day, so nobody has to split luggage across two cars. Whatever you pick, the delivery address, date and time are agreed with a manager when you book, and the return point is fixed in the rental agreement.

Choosing a car class for car rental in Antalya for a trip to Kaş

For car rental in Antalya for a trip to Kaş, four classes are open for booking on this page — Comfort, Crossover, SUV and Minivans — and the difference between them is size, ride height and how much luggage goes in the boot. For the coastal run to Kaş, that choice matters more than horsepower.

Classes and what each one suits

Gearbox, fuel and seats across the fleet

Sixty of the 65 cars on this page are automatic, 41 run on petrol, 19 on diesel and 5 are hybrid, with seat counts of 5, 7, 8 and 9 across the range. The automatic share is what most travellers ask for first, and it is worth it on this road: the D400 between Kemer and Kaş is a sequence of tight bends and short climbs where a manual gearbox means constant work with the clutch. Diesel models suit the long leg better — a 1.5-litre Duster or a 2.0-litre Proace Verso pulls up the gradients without hunting for revs, and suit a full car on the long leg. In Rent-Trip's experience, couples booking a Comfort hatchback rarely regret it, while families arriving with three large cases should look at Crossover or SUV instead of squeezing into a sedan. Hybrids — the Opel Frontera and the Toyota Corolla among them — sit in the middle of the price range for the coastal villages.

Matching the car to the trip

The right class depends on how many people travel and how much you plan to stop. Two travellers with hand luggage fit a Kia XCeed or a Fiat Egea Cross without difficulty, and the narrow body helps in Kaş, where parking is tight in season. Four adults with suitcases may prefer a Crossover such as the Volkswagen Taigo or the Nissan Juke, or an SUV like the MG HS. Groups of six or more should take a minivan: the Toyota Proace Verso carries 9 seats from ₺2,240 a day, and 13 nine-seat vehicles are listed on this page, so a group does not have to split luggage between two cars. A 7-seat option exists too — the Dacia Jogger and the Peugeot 5008 both take seven. One practical note: the car is supplied with a full tank and returned full, so pick the fuel type you can refill most easily along the route rather than the one with the best headline rate.

Models to book for car rental in Antalya for a trip to Kaş

The page carries 19 brands, from a ₺1,893-a-day compact hatchback to a seven-seat minivan at ₺7,714, and the model you pick decides how the D400 feels over about two and a half hours. A short-wheelbase crossover is easier to thread through Kalkan's lanes; a diesel minivan keeps a group of nine together with the luggage inside rather than on a second car.

Compact and crossover picks

The Kia XCeed is the cheapest car on this page at ₺1,893 a day, with the Fiat Egea Cross next at ₺1,937. Both are five-seat petrol cars — the XCeed a 140 hp 1.5 L automatic hatchback, the Egea Cross a 1.0 L manual with 100 hp — and both sit in our Comfort line. Step up and the Volkswagen Taigo (₺2,183, 110 hp automatic) and the Nissan Juke (₺2,466, 114 hp automatic) add a higher seating position for the coastal curves. A narrow body and a short wheelbase make the difference in the small coastal towns, where parking is the real constraint in season — a hatchback or compact crossover slots into spaces a full SUV has to pass by.

SUVs and minivans for groups

The Toyota Proace Verso takes 9 seats from ₺2,240 a day, and the Mercedes-Benz V-Class is the most expensive on this page at ₺7,714. Between them sit the MG HS (five-seat SUV, 170 hp, ₺2,523), the Hyundai Tucson (150 hp, ₺3,149) and the seven-seat options — the Dacia Jogger at ₺4,081, the Peugeot 5008 at ₺4,690 and the Chery Tiggo 8 Pro at ₺5,543. Thirteen nine-seat cars are on the page, so a group does not have to split the luggage across two vehicles. For a family of five with cases, a 5-seat SUV covers the run comfortably; beyond that, book the seven- or nine-seater early, because those are the first to go in high season.

What the fleet looks like across the range

• Gearbox: 60 of the 65 cars are automatic and 5 are manual — the manuals include the Fiat Egea Cross, Hyundai i30 and Peugeot 308 in Comfort.
• Fuel: 41 cars run on petrol, 19 on diesel and 5 are hybrid, so a diesel minivan or SUV is a realistic pick for the long coastal leg.
• Seats: 46 cars are five-seat, 5 are seven-seat, 1 is eight-seat and 13 are nine-seat.
• Body types: 18 SUVs, 15 crossovers, 15 minibuses, 7 hatchbacks, 5 sedans, plus a handful of MPVs, liftbacks, fastbacks and estates.

In Rent-Trip's experience the automatic-diesel combination is what most groups ask for on this route — it takes the clutch work out of the repeated climbs and keeps a group in one vehicle between Antalya and Kaş. Tell the manager your seat count and luggage when you book, and the class follows from there; the exact model is confirmed with the booking, and the terms of the rental agreement cover the rest.

Documents and rules for car rental in Antalya for a trip to Kaş

The paperwork for this trip is short: a passport, an entry stamp, your home driving licence and, where the licence is not in Latin script, an International Driving Permit. A credit card in the main driver's name is required for the security hold. Everything else — the deposit, the excess, the mileage — is set out in the rental agreement, and we confirm the details with you before the booking is fixed.

What a foreign renter needs to have ready

• Passport and entry stamp: the six-month clock for driving on a foreign licence in Turkey runs from the day you entered the country, so keep the stamp page accessible.
• Home driving licence: a licence issued outside Turkey is valid for driving here for no more than six months from the date of entry.
• International Driving Permit: needed when your licence is not in Latin script; some rental companies ask for one more broadly, so check the offer's terms.
• Credit card in the main driver's name: required for the security hold — the amount and the mechanics are set out in the rental agreement.

After six months in the country the foreign licence must be exchanged for a Turkish one at any nüfus müdürlüğü — that is a rule for residents, not for a holiday, but it explains why the entry stamp matters.

Insurance and the papers in the car

The compulsory third-party insurance covers every registered vehicle in Turkey by law, and a car without a valid policy is taken off the road. Our prices include VAT (VAT 20%) — VAT included — so the figure you agree at booking is the figure on the agreement. What the policy covers beyond the compulsory part, and any excess on top of it, is set out in the rental agreement rather than promised here.

Speed limits, alcohol and phones on the D400

The D400 to Kaş mixes 50 km/h through towns with 90 km/h on two-way intercity road and 110 km/h on divided sections; signs on the spot override all of it. Private cars may be driven up to 0.50 promille of alcohol — above that the licence is withdrawn for six months, and refusing a breath test carries five years without a licence. Using a phone while driving and a seat belt offence both carry fines set by law. On the coastal curves the limits are not a formality: speeding fines run from 2,000 TL to 30,000 TL under the law, so set the cruise where the sign says and let the view wait.

Fuel, tolls and seasonal rules for car rental in Antalya to Kaş

With car rental in Antalya for a trip to Kaş, fuel and tolls are the two variable costs on the D400 run, and both depend on what you drive and when you travel. We quote the current picture below so you can plan the budget before you book, and we flag the seasonal rule that catches foreign drivers out between November and April.

Fuel prices and what they mean for the drive

• Petrol (V/Max Kurşunsuz 95, Petrol Ofisi): 78.6 TL a litre in Antalya as of 30.10.2026, the same price across all districts of the province.
• Diesel (V/Max Diesel, Petrol Ofisi): 99.3 TL a litre on the same date, so a diesel car costs more per litre than a petrol one.
• LPG (PO/gaz): 41.4 TL a litre, the cheapest option per litre where a car runs on autogas.
• Prices move fast: motor1 recorded petrol at 78.50 TL on 26.10.2026 and 86.10 TL on 19.10.2026, so treat any figure as a snapshot, not a fixed cost.
• Full-to-full: every car leaves us with a full tank and comes back full; missing fuel and the refuelling service fee are set out in the rental agreement.

Diesel is priced above petrol in Turkey, which flips the usual calculation: a diesel SUV at 99.3 TL a litre only wins on a long coastal run if its consumption is genuinely lower than a petrol crossover's. For the Kaş road, with repeated climbs and curves, that gap narrows further. Check the tank level at hand-over and again before return — a partial tank is charged as the rental agreement describes.

Tolls and the HGS system

There are no toll motorways (otoyol) in Antalya province: the KGM inventory of completed motorways lists otoyol in other provinces, such as Denizli (148 km of otoyol) and Aydın (350 km), with no Antalya (TR611) row in any year. So the HGS charge does not apply to the D400 itself. The Antalya–Alanya Otoyolu, 122 km between Serik and Konaklı, is under construction at roughly 30 % completion as of August 2026, and whether it will be tolled has not been announced.

HGS is the electronic payment tag for motorway gates and bridges. If you pass a gate without enough balance, you have 15 days to top up or register HGS to the plate and avoid the penalty; after that, four times the section fee is added. Between days 15 and 45 the charge is one extra fee (bir kat ceza) instead of four. Debts show on kgm.gov.tr under İhlalli Geçiş Sorgulama and in e-Devlet. How tolls and any penalty notices are handled on your rental is agreed when booking.

Winter tyres, November to April

Under the Ministry of Transport tebliğ (amended 04.10.2025), winter tyres are compulsory from 15 November to 15 April for vehicles used in intercity passenger and freight transport, including foreign-registered ones. A private passenger car is not named in that list. Whether the rule applies within a province is decided by the valilik (governor's office) based on average local temperatures, and it may shift the window by a month either way. We have not found a specific Antalya valilik decision, so ask your manager at booking if you travel in that window — and remember that weather on higher ground can differ from the coast.

What is included in car rental in Antalya for a trip to Kaş

Every rate on this page is quoted VAT included, so the figure you see already contains the tax, and every registered vehicle in Turkey carries compulsory traffic insurance — the third-party liability cover the law requires. What sits outside those two lines is set out in the agreement, and we walk through it with you before the booking is fixed.

What every rate covers

• VAT included: value-added tax at 20% is already inside the daily, weekly and monthly figures, with no separate tax line added at hand-over.
• Compulsory traffic insurance: compulsory third-party liability applies to every registered car in the country, so it travels with the vehicle on the D400.
• Full-to-full fuel: the car comes clean with a full tank and goes back full; any shortfall and the refuelling charge are handled as the agreement describes.
• Delivery and collection: we bring the car to any address in the city and to Antalya Airport (AYT) and Gazipaşa-Alanya Airport (GZP), and you return it to the same point at the date and time in the contract.

What the agreement sets out

The deposit, the insurance excess, delivery fees outside the named points and any discount are all written into the contract rather than quoted here, and the manager confirms them before the booking is fixed — a nine-seat minivan and a compact hatchback do not carry the same terms. A credit card in the main driver's name is required for the security hold, and age and driving-experience requirements climb with the class of car. If you plan to hand the wheel to a second driver, mention it when you book: the conditions are agreed when booking.

Documents to bring

• Home driving licence: a licence issued outside Turkey is valid for up to six months from entry, after which it must be exchanged for a Turkish one at any nüfus müdürlüğü.
• International Driving Permit: needed if your licence is not in Latin script; some companies ask for one more broadly, so check the offer's terms.
• Credit card in the main driver's name: required for the security hold on the vehicle.

One practical note from Rent-Trip's own bookings: the six-month window catches people out on long stays, not on two-week holidays, so if you are already weeks into a stay, sort the licence question before you commit to a coastal run. Tolls and any penalty notices are agreed when booking — we do not leave them to be discovered at the barrier.
