Who Can Rent a Car in Turkey?

Not everyone is allowed to rent cars in Turkey. Your documents must be in order and you must be a certain minimum age. You will normally be asked for:

1. A valid passport (including, if required for your nationality, a valid visa)

2. A valid credit card to pay for the estimated rental fees, plus a security deposit "hold" of perhaps US$1000.

3. A valid driver's (driving) license. Normally you must have had your driver's license for at least a year before renting an inexpensive car, and perhaps two years for renting a more expensive model. If your driver's license is from a major country, you do not normally need to have an International Driving Permit.

4. A minimum age requirement. Normally you must be at least 21 years of age to rent. For more expensive models, you may need to be at least 27 years of age.
