Pick up at your hotel in Konyaalti, Lara Beach or Kaleici and explore coastal roads, ancient ruins and mountain canyons.
Antalya stretches along the Mediterranean coast with beach resorts in Konyaalti and Lara, the old town of Kaleici, and modern shopping districts inland. A car lets you reach ancient sites like Perge 18 km northeast and Aspendos 47 km east, mountain ruins at Termessos 34 km northwest, and natural attractions including Duden Waterfalls 14 km from the center. The D400 coastal highway connects Antalya to Kemer 45 km west and Side 65 km east, with longer routes to Kas 185 km along scenic cliffs and Pamukkale 240 km via D350.
We deliver cars to hotels in Konyaalti, Lara Beach, Kaleici and other districts in Antalya city, as well as pick-up at Antalya Airport 13 km east of the center. Eligible vehicles carry a "No Deposit" flag in the search results above and allow payment of the balance with a debit card or cash when you collect the keys. Each car has its own set of requirements, so check the vehicle details during booking.
You pay a booking advance online by card to confirm the reservation. The remaining balance is due at pick-up, and the accepted method - debit card, cash or credit card - is stated in the car details and in your voucher. No extra money is blocked on your card at the rental counter for those no-deposit cars. The local rental company hands over the vehicle, you sign the rental agreement and note any existing scratches or marks in the contract, then drive away.
Summer months from June to September bring busy beaches and higher demand, while November to March sees quieter streets, cooler weather and fewer crowds. For broader options across Turkey, see our Turkey car rental overview.
Local rental companies operate from the airport terminal and deliver vehicles directly to your accommodation in the city and beach zones.
Rental desks are inside the international arrivals hall. Choose airport pick-up if you land at AYT and want to drive straight to Kemer, Side or another town without entering Antalya city.
The rental company brings the car to your hotel lobby or entrance at the time you select during booking. You sign the contract, inspect the vehicle together and receive the keys on-site. Return is arranged at the same location or another agreed point.
Some companies maintain a counter in the city center. Exact address and contact details appear in your voucher after booking. Useful if you arrive by bus or stay in a central district.
The D400 coastal highway and inland mountain roads open access to ancient theatres, canyon hikes, beach resorts and limestone plateaus within a few hours.
45 km west on D400, 50 minutes. The coastal road hugs cliffs and pine forests, passing resort towns Beldibi and Goynuk before reaching Kemer marina. Continue 20 km south to Cirali and Olympos beach, backed by Tahtali Mountain. A compact sedan like the Renault Clio handles the paved D400 easily, though parking near Olympos ruins can be tight in summer.
65 km east on D400, 1 hour. Flat coastal highway runs through Aksu and Belek golf resorts to the ancient port town of Side, where Roman columns stand beside sandy beaches. Turn inland 5 km to Manavgat for the low cascades popular with picnic crowds. Any economy car is sufficient; book ahead if visiting in August when hotels fill. For longer stays in Side, explore our Side options.
47 km east via D400, 45 minutes. Exit the highway near Serik and follow signs 5 km north to one of the best-preserved Roman theatres in the Mediterranean. Parking is unpaved gravel beside the ticket office. A standard sedan or the Fiat Egea works well; arrive early in summer to avoid tour-bus groups and afternoon heat.
34 km northwest via D350, 50 minutes. The road climbs through Gulluk Dagi National Park to a high plateau, then a steep 9 km access track leads to the ancient city ruins at 1,050 meters elevation. The final stretch has loose stones and sharp turns, so a crossover like the Fiat Egea Cross or a proper 4x4 is safer than a low-clearance sedan. Check our 4x4 and SUV rental page for vehicles suited to gravel mountain roads.
90 km north via D400 then D695, 1 hour 45 minutes. Drive east to Serik, turn inland at Tasagil and follow the winding D695 through pine forests to the canyon. The road is paved but narrow in places with occasional potholes. A sedan manages the route, though ground clearance helps on side tracks to picnic spots. Rafting season runs April to October when the Kopru River has enough flow.
185 km west on D400, 3 hours. The scenic coastal highway threads past Kemer, cuts inland over mountain passes near Finike, then drops back to the sea at Kas. Cliffs, olive groves and turquoise bays line the route. A compact or mid-size sedan is comfortable for the long drive; fill the tank in Antalya or Kemer because petrol stations are sparse west of Kumluca. For an overnight stop, check our Kemer page.

Selected vehicles in Antalya let you rent without a credit card and without a deposit block, making car rental accessible to more drivers.
Each car in our search results shows its own payment and deposit rules. Look for the "No Deposit" badge on the vehicle card. Click through to see the full requirements: some cars accept debit cards and cash for the balance, others may still ask for a credit card even if no deposit is blocked.
The deposit waiver and accepted payment methods are independent features. A car can require no deposit but ask for a credit card to cover excess, or it can accept a debit card but still block a small hold. Read the terms on each vehicle page and in the voucher you receive after booking.
If you do not have a credit card, consider raising the limit on your debit card to cover any potential excess liability stated in the rental agreement. Requirements vary between individual cars, not between vehicle categories.
You need a valid driving licence, passport and the payment card - debit, credit or cash - specified in your voucher. At hotel delivery or the airport desk, the rental agent checks your documents, walks around the car with you to note existing damage in the contract, and hands over the keys.
No extra funds are blocked on your card if you chose a no-deposit car. The contract states the excess amount you remain responsible for in case of damage; this figure does not change whether a deposit is taken or not.

Common questions about renting a car in Antalya, hotel delivery, payment rules and local driving.
Yes, eligible cars marked "No Credit Card" accept debit card or cash payment for the balance at pick-up. The accepted method is listed in the vehicle details and in your voucher. Each car has its own rules, so check during booking.
Yes, local rental companies deliver to hotels in Konyaalti, Lara Beach, Kaleici and other districts in Antalya. Select city delivery during booking and provide your hotel address. The company brings the car to your hotel entrance at the agreed time.
Antalya Airport pick-up means collecting the car from the rental desk inside AYT terminal, 13 km east of the city center. City pick-up includes hotel delivery or a company office in town. Choose airport if you land at AYT and drive straight to another destination; choose city delivery if you stay in Antalya first.
The access track to Termessos is steep with loose stones, so a crossover like the Fiat Egea Cross or a 4x4 is safer than a low sedan. Standard compact cars can reach the parking area but ground clearance helps on rough sections.
Paid parking zones cover Kaleici old town, Konyaalti and Lara seafronts. Blue-marked bays require hourly tickets. Hotels often provide free parking, but confirm with your accommodation. Outside the center and beach areas, street parking is generally free.
Pamukkale is 240 km from Antalya via D350, about 3.5 hours one way. A day trip is possible but long. Consider an overnight stay in Pamukkale or Denizli to enjoy the travertine terraces without rushing back the same day.
A valid foreign driving licence is accepted by rental companies in Antalya. An International Driving Permit is recommended for longer stays and can help if stopped by police, but it is not mandatory for short-term rentals.
