To rent a car in Turkey, you generally need a valid national driving license from your home country, a passport, and for non-Turkish license holders, an International Driving Permit (IDP) is highly recommended or often required, especially if your license is not in a Latin alphabet. The minimum age for car rental is typically 21, with some companies requiring drivers to be 23 or 25 for certain vehicle categories or to have held their license for at least 2 years.
Car rental prices in Alanya vary significantly by season and vehicle class. Economy cars typically start from around 25-35 EUR per day in the low season, while SUVs or premium models can range from 60-100+ EUR daily. During peak summer months, expect prices to increase by approximately 50-100% across all categories.

In Turkey, traffic drives on the right. Speed limits are generally 50 km/h in urban areas, 90 km/h on rural roads, and 120 km/h on motorways, though always check local signage. The legal blood alcohol limit for drivers is very low, effectively zero (0.05% for private vehicles, 0.00% for commercial). Headlights are not required during the day. Seatbelts are mandatory for all occupants. Child safety seats are compulsory for children under 1.35 meters tall and under 36 kg.
In Alanya, finding free parking in the city center can be challenging, especially during peak season. There are numerous paid parking lots and street parking zones where payment is usually made to an attendant or via a ticket machine. Outside the immediate city center, particularly near hotels or residential areas, free parking might be more available. Always look for signs and be aware of 'No Parking' zones.
Fuel (petrol and diesel) is widely available throughout Alanya and across Turkey. Most petrol stations accept credit cards, but it's always wise to carry some Turkish Lira for smaller stations or emergencies. Fuel prices in Turkey are generally higher than the European average; expect to pay approximately 1.20-1.50 EUR per liter for petrol or diesel.
For driving in Alanya and exploring the coastal region, an economy or compact car is usually sufficient and easier to navigate through city traffic and park. If you plan to venture into the mountainous regions or travel with more luggage, a compact SUV or a sedan with a slightly more powerful engine might be a better choice. Manual transmission cars are common, but automatics are readily available if preferred.
