Local intelligence
Things to know before renting in Antalya
- Turkey's electronic toll system (HGS) is required on major highways — rental cars come pre-fitted with a transponder, billed at return or via a daily fee.
- The D400 coastal highway runs the length of the Turkish Riviera, connecting Antalya to Side, Alanya, and Kaş with dramatic coastal views.
- Antalya's Old Town, Kaleiçi, has narrow cobbled streets largely closed to cars — most hotels there require parking outside the old walls.
- The Taurus Mountains rise directly behind the city, and mountain routes toward Termessos or the Köprülü Canyon involve winding, narrower roads.
- Peak holiday season (June–September) brings heavy demand from charter tourism, pushing rental rates up 20–35% and requiring earlier booking.
- Turkish traffic law requires drivers to carry a reflective vest, warning triangle, and first-aid kit in the vehicle — most rentals include all three.
