Sedan car rental in Turkey

A week of coastal driving, a boot full of luggage and the freedom to stop wherever the view improves — that is what a sedan gives you on a Turkish trip. We have 13 sedans available for self-drive hire, from ₺2,900 a day, with weekly and monthly rates that come out lower per day.

What sedan car rental in Turkey includes with Rent-Trip

Sedan car rental in Turkey with Rent-Trip works without a rental counter: the car is brought to an address you agree with a manager, and it goes back to that point. The rate covers the vehicle, compulsory cover and VAT included.

How delivery works when there is no rental counter

We have no physical office — the sedan is brought to any address you agree with a manager in Istanbul or Antalya. The delivery address, the date and the time are fixed before the booking is confirmed, so the car arrives where you actually are rather than at a desk you have to reach first. Return goes to that delivery point at the date and time written into the contract; a different drop-off point is arranged case by case and carries a fee set out in the rental agreement. The address is the part of the booking to settle before the confirmation rather than after — a later change of delivery point is agreed again with the manager.

Fuel, cleaning and the full-to-full rule

Every car comes clean with a full tank and must go back full.

• Full-to-full: the sedan is handed over with a full tank and returned the same way, so you pay only for the fuel you actually burned.
• Missing fuel: a shortfall plus a refuelling service fee is charged as set out in the rental agreement.
• No pre-paid tank: a pre-paid tank or a full-to-empty arrangement is not offered on this page.
• Clean interior: the car leaves washed, as the rental agreement states.

Filling up at a station before you hand the keys back costs less than the refuelling service fee set out in the rental agreement — the last few kilometres before the return point are worth planning around a fuel stop.

What the rate already includes

• VAT included: prices on this site include VAT at 20%, so the figure you see is the figure on the agreement.
• Compulsory traffic insurance: compulsory third-party insurance covers every registered vehicle in Turkey by law, and it comes with the car.
• HGS: the tag for bridges and motorway gates is required; how the mechanics work is described on the HGS page.
• Documents: a passport, entry stamp, home driving licence and, if your licence is not in Latin script, an International Driving Permit.
• Security hold: a credit card in the main driver's name is required.

Age and driving-experience requirements rise with the class of car, and the security hold, mileage limit and any cover beyond the compulsory one are set out in the rental agreement — worth reading before you choose between the 13 sedans on this page.

Sedan car rental in Turkey across 13 models

Our sedan car rental in Turkey fleet runs to 13 cars from nine brands, and every one of them is a five-seat automatic. The line-up starts with the Renault Talisman at ₺2,900 a day and ends with the Citroën C5 X at ₺5,700, so the spread between the cheapest and the most expensive car on this page is roughly double. Below is every model we list, with the body style, fuel, engine and starting rate for each.

Every model on the page, side by side

Nine of the 13 cars are classic saloons, two are liftbacks and two are fastbacks — the last four are five-seat automatics like the saloons, so the choice between them is about body shape and price. Two Passats appear with an identical engine and a ₺159 gap between them, so ask the manager which one is free for your dates instead of assuming the cheaper listing is available.

Talisman or Camry for a long drive

The Renault Talisman is the cheapest sedan on the page at ₺2,900 a day, while the Toyota Camry pairs a 2.5 L hybrid with 218 hp at ₺3,600. Between those two sit the diesel 2.0 L Volkswagen Passat at ₺3,200 and the Škoda Superb at ₺3,300, both 2.0 L diesels with 150 hp. The Camry is the only 2.5 L unit and the most powerful car on this page; the Passat and Superb have the same 2.0 L size as the Ford Mondeo, which adds hybrid drive and 187 hp at ₺3,100. On a long run the hybrids are the pricier choice, while the two-litre diesels cover similar distance for less per day. In our experience the Talisman suits a week of city-to-city hops, and the Camry suits travellers who want the most power on this page.

Matching the body style to the trip

A liftback or fastback is a different body from a saloon, and on this page the Opel Insignia, Peugeot 508 and Škoda Superb come in that body, as does the Citroën C5 X. All four of those cars sit in the upper half of the range, from ₺3,748 to ₺5,700, so the loading convenience comes with a higher daily rate. If you are collecting in Istanbul or Antalya and driving on with the same luggage, a liftback or fastback is worth a look; for a short break with hand luggage, the Talisman or the 1.6 L Insignia at ₺2,950 does the same job.

Diesel, hybrid or petrol for your sedan car rental in Turkey

Eight of the thirteen sedans in the Rent-Trip fleet run on diesel, three are hybrids and two are petrol. The split matters more than the badge on the boot: on a Turkish trip the fuel type decides how often you stop, how far a tank takes you and how the car behaves on the long intercity legs between Istanbul and Antalya.

Which fuel type suits which trip

• Diesel: eight cars, including the Volkswagen Passat and Škoda Superb at 2.0 L and 150 hp, plus the Renault Talisman and Opel Insignia at 1.6 L — the two cheapest cars on the page.
• Hybrid: three cars — Ford Mondeo, Honda Accord and Toyota Camry — with the Camry's 2.5 L and 218 hp the strongest engine on the page; these recover energy in stop-start traffic and suit city days.
• Petrol: two cars only — the Škoda Superb Liftback at 1.5 L and 150 hp and the Citroën C5 X at 1.2 L and 130 hp, both automatic and five-seat like the rest.

Diesel pays off on the intercity runs, a hybrid on short urban hops, and petrol is the narrowest choice here — worth knowing before you fix a model with a manager.

Automatic, five seats and front-wheel drive on every car

All 13 sedans have automatic transmission, five seats and front-wheel drive. Nothing in the class is manual, nothing is rear-wheel drive, and no model seats more or fewer than five — so the gearbox, the cabin and the driven axle are constants across the whole range. That narrows the real decision to engine size, fuel and boot shape. The 2.0 L diesel Passat and Superb and the 2.5 L hybrid Camry have the largest engines, while the 1.2 L Citroën C5 X and 1.5 L Peugeot 508 have the smallest and suit driving around town. Choose by the trip you are actually making, not by the spec sheet.

What the fuel choice costs you at the pump

The rate you pay per day is set by the model, not by the fuel — the cheapest car on the page, the Renault Talisman at ₺2,900, is a 1.6 L diesel, and the dearest, the Citroën C5 X at ₺5,700, is a 1.2 L petrol. Fuel itself is never included: every car leaves with a full tank and must come back full. Fill up before hand-back rather than paying the refuelling service fee set out in the rental agreement. On a week-long booking at daily x 6, the model's daily rate matters more than the fuel type.

Longer sedan car rental in Turkey and what the rate covers

Longer sedan hire is where the maths starts working in your favour. A week opens at ₺17,400 and a month at ₺60,900, against ₺2,900–₺5,700 for a single day across our 13 cars. The per-day figure falls the longer you keep the keys.

Weekly and monthly rates explained

A week starts at ₺17,400 and a month at ₺60,900, because weekly is charged at daily x 6 and monthly at daily x 21. Book a Renault Talisman for a week and it is ₺17,400 at daily x 6; keep the same car for a month and it is ₺60,900 at daily x 21. The same multiplier applies to every model on the page — from the ₺2,900 Talisman up to the Citroën C5 X at ₺5,700 a day. Weekly and monthly rates are lower per day than the daily rate, which is why a two-week booking often costs less per day than a long weekend. In our experience, travellers who plan a loop between Istanbul and the coast and book the full stretch in one go get a steadier per-day figure than those who re-book mid-trip. The exact total for your dates is confirmed by a manager before the booking is fixed.

What the daily rate already includes

• VAT included: prices on this site include VAT at 20%, so the figure you are quoted is the figure you pay.
• Compulsory third-party insurance: compulsory traffic insurance covers every registered vehicle in Turkey by law, and it comes with the car.
• Clean car, full tank: the sedan is handed over clean with a full tank and goes back full — full-to-full.
• Delivery and collection: we bring the car to the address agreed with a manager and collect it from the same point at the agreed date and time.
• HGS: the motorway and bridge tag is required; how the mechanics work is set out on the HGS page.

Anything beyond that — a different return point, missing fuel, the security hold, the mileage limit — is set out in the rental agreement, and a manager walks you through it at booking. On a month-long booking of this kind, we suggest fixing the return date and place at the start. Changing the drop-off point later is arranged case by case and carries a fee under the agreement, while a fixed plan keeps the rate you were quoted.

Documents for sedan car rental in Turkey

Every driver on a sedan rental needs the same four things for the booking: a passport, an entry stamp, a home driving licence, and an International Driving Permit if that licence is not in Latin script. A credit card in the main driver's name is also required for the security hold. Rent-Trip asks for these before the booking is fixed, so nothing about documents is left to the day.

The document set we ask for

• Passport: the same passport you entered the country with — the entry stamp in it is what the six-month clock is counted from.
• Entry stamp: proof of the date you entered, which starts the six-month clock for a foreign licence.
• Home driving licence: the licence issued in your own country, valid and carried as the original.
• International Driving Permit: needed when your home licence is not printed in Latin script.
• Credit card in the main driver's name: held for the security hold; the amount is set out in the rental agreement.

How long a foreign licence stays valid here

A foreigner may drive in Turkey on a licence issued abroad for no longer than six months from the date of entry — «Dış ülkelerden alınan sürücü belgeleri ile ülkemize giriş yapıldığı tarihten itibaren en fazla altı ay süreyle araç kullanılabilir». After those six months the foreign licence must be exchanged for a Turkish one at any nüfus müdürlüğü, and bilateral or multilateral agreements between countries can change the picture. The six months are counted from the entry date, not from the day you collect the car, so a traveller who arrived in spring and returns in autumn can be outside the window without noticing. Check the stamp against your booking dates before you confirm the reservation — that is the cheapest moment to find out.

Age, experience and the class of car

Age and driving-experience requirements rise with the class of car, and the exact thresholds for a sedan are set out in the rental agreement rather than fixed on this page. In practice that means a young driver should raise the question when booking, not at the delivery address: the requirement depends on the class of car, and the exact thresholds are agreed when booking. Bring the original licence, not a photograph of it — the same goes for the passport and the permit.

Insurance and tolls for sedan car rental in Turkey

Every sedan on this page carries the compulsory third-party cover that Turkish law requires on every registered vehicle, and prices already include VAT. What sits beyond that compulsory layer, and how bridge and motorway charges are settled, is written into the rental agreement you receive when the booking is confirmed.

Compulsory cover and what the agreement adds

Compulsory traffic insurance is not an extra we sell — it is a legal condition of the car being on the road at all, and a vehicle without a valid policy is removed from traffic. That is why the cover appears on every one of the 13 sedans, from the Renault Talisman at ₺2,900 a day to the Citroën C5 X at ₺5,700, without a separate line on your bill. Anything above the compulsory layer — the excess and any extra protection — is set out in the rental agreement, and the terms of that package are agreed when booking. Ask the manager to walk you through that clause before the booking is fixed: the terms of the package are agreed when booking, and the agreement is where they are written down.

HGS, bridges and motorway gates

• HGS tag: the electronic sticker that opens bridges and motorway gates across Turkey, read automatically as you pass, so you never stop to pay.
• Where it applies: toll bridges and motorway gates on the otoyol network; the HGS page explains how the tag is used.
• Settling the charge: whatever the tag records during your rental is settled as the rental agreement describes.
• The 15 July Martyrs and Fatih Sultan Mehmet crossings: both are read by HGS, and the charge for each crossing is settled as the rental agreement describes.

The practical consequence is simple — keep the tag in place, drive through the HGS lane, and check the balance question with the manager if you plan a lot of motorway miles between the two cities we serve.

What the agreement, not this page, decides

The deposit held on a credit card in the main driver's name, the excess on any damage, delivery fees for a return to a different point, and any discount scheme are all fixed in the rental agreement and are never a number here. Our advice from handling these bookings: read the insurance and toll clauses in the same sitting as the fuel rule, because a full-to-full tank and an HGS reconciliation both land on the same final invoice.

City and coastal trips with sedan car rental in Turkey

Where you collect the car shapes which sedan earns its rate. A sedan car rental in Turkey booked for Istanbul is mostly city driving, while one booked for Antalya often includes long coastal runs. The 13 cars on this page are split between the two cities, so ask the manager which models are available where you collect.

Picking a sedan for city traffic

City driving rewards the hybrid trio — the Ford Mondeo at ₺3,100, the Honda Accord at ₺3,400 and the Toyota Camry at ₺3,600 — because a hybrid suits stop-start driving in city traffic. The 1.5 L Peugeot 508 at ₺3,250 and the 1.6 L Renault Talisman at ₺2,900 are among the lower-priced options for the city, and both are automatics like everything else on the page. For a stay confined to the city, the Talisman covers the same ground for the lowest daily rate on this page. If your plan includes the bridges, keep the HGS tag in place and drive the HGS lane; the conditions of the tag are set out in the rental agreement.

Picking a sedan for the coast

Coastal roads reward the two-litre diesels — the Volkswagen Passat at ₺3,200 and the Škoda Superb at ₺3,300, both 150 hp — on the long intercity legs of a coastal trip. The Citroën C5 X at ₺5,700 is the dearest car on the page and the only 1.2 L petrol, so it suits a traveller who wants the fastback body rather than the lowest daily rate. We deliver to any address in Antalya and to Antalya Airport (AYT) and Gazipaşa-Alanya Airport (GZP); delivery outside the places we cover is arranged case by case and is not promised on the site. In our practice, a coastal week works best when the car is collected at the start of the stay and kept for the whole loop rather than re-booked between stops.

Which sedan fits which trip on your Turkey car rental

The 13 cars split three ways by body — nine saloons, two liftbacks and two fastbacks — and three ways by fuel — eight diesel, three hybrid, two petrol. Reading those two splits together is faster than working through the model list one line at a time.

Saloon, liftback or fastback for luggage

• Saloon (nine cars): the classic body with a separate boot — the Renault Talisman, the 1.6 L Opel Insignia, the ₺3,250 Peugeot 508, the Ford Mondeo, the two Volkswagen Passat, the Honda Accord, the Toyota Camry and the 2.0 L Škoda Superb.
• Liftback (two cars): the body of the Opel Insignia 1.5 L at ₺3,748 and the Škoda Superb 1.5 L at ₺3,756, both automatic five-seaters.
• Fastback (two cars): the sloping-roof body — the Peugeot 508 1.5 L at ₺3,748 and the Citroën C5 X at ₺5,700.

For two large cases and a pushchair, ask the manager which body suits your luggage; for hand luggage only, a saloon does the same job for less per day.

The cheapest and the dearest, and what sits between

The Renault Talisman opens the range at ₺2,900 a day and the Citroën C5 X closes it at ₺5,700 — roughly double, for the same five seats, the same automatic gearbox and the same front-wheel drive. Between them the daily rate climbs in small steps: ₺2,950 for the 1.6 L Insignia, ₺3,100 for the Mondeo hybrid, ₺3,200 and ₺3,359 for the two Passats, ₺3,250 for the 508, ₺3,300 for the 2.0 L Superb, ₺3,400 for the Accord and ₺3,600 for the Camry. Two cars share the same nameplate at different rates — the Passats differ by ₺159 and the two 508s by ₺498 — so confirm with a manager which unit is free for your dates instead of assuming the cheaper listing is the one you will get.

Reading the rental agreement before you sign

The rate on this page is the starting point, not the whole document. Four clauses decide what a sedan car rental in Turkey actually costs you at the end, and all four are written into the rental agreement rather than printed here.

The four clauses worth reading first

• Security hold: a credit card in the main driver's name is required, and the amount held is set out in the rental agreement — never a figure on this page.
• Mileage limit: whether your booking carries one, and what happens past it, is written into the agreement, so check it before a long intercity run.
• Cover beyond the compulsory layer: compulsory traffic insurance comes with every car by law, and any wider damage package or lower excess is described in the agreement.
• Return to a different point: collection from the same address is standard; a different drop-off is arranged case by case and carries a fee under the agreement.

Read those four in one sitting with the fuel rule — full-to-full — because a missing tank and a changed return point both land on the same final invoice.

Age, experience and the class of car

Requirements climb with the class of vehicle, so a younger driver should settle the question when booking rather than at the delivery address. The thresholds themselves are written into the rental agreement and are not fixed on this page. In practice the question is simpler to settle before the car is delivered than after, and the 1.6 L Talisman at ₺2,900 or the 1.6 L Insignia at ₺2,950 sit at the bottom of the class by price; the age conditions are the same for the whole class.

Delivery, hand-over and return of your sedan car rental in Turkey

There is no counter to queue at — Rent-Trip brings the sedan to you.

What to settle before the booking is confirmed

• Address: the exact street and building, agreed with a manager — a change of address after confirmation is agreed again with the manager.
• Date and time: fixed before confirmation, and the same pair governs the return.
• Card: a credit card in the main driver's name, held for the security deposit under the agreement.

Returning the car full and clean

The sedan leaves clean with a full tank and must come back the same way — full-to-full. The car comes clean, as the rental agreement states.

Common mistakes on a sedan car rental in Turkey

Most of the friction on a Turkish sedan booking comes from four habits, and each one is avoidable before the car is delivered.

Four things travellers get wrong

• Booking the dearest car for a city stay: the Citroën C5 X at ₺5,700 and the fastback 508 at ₺3,748 buy a fastback body, not more seats or a different gearbox — a city week rarely uses either.
• Leaving the delivery address loose: the address is agreed with a manager before confirmation, and a change afterwards is agreed again with the manager.
• Returning the tank short: the missing fuel plus the refuelling service fee is charged under the agreement, and a station stop before hand-back is the cheaper route.
• Assuming the six-month licence clock starts at collection: a foreign licence may be used for no longer than six months from the date of entry into Turkey, counted from the entry stamp, not from the day you collect the car.

The sixth month can run out mid-trip for a traveller who arrived in spring and returns in autumn, so check the stamp against your booking dates before you fix the reservation.
