Typical models of the minivan/minibus class in Antalya are: Ford Galaxy 7 seater, Mercedes Vito, Peugeot 807 7 seater, VW Kombi 8 Seater, VW Touran, Citroen C8 Tdi and others.
Standard capacity of a minivan in Turkey is up to 9 people (8+1 formula), traditionally providing seven or eight passenger seats. The capacity of a minibus may vary from 9 to 15 people.
Please note, that in order to rent in Turkey a vehicle with capacity which exceeds 8 passengers, you would need a driving license of the corresponding category.
Minivan dimensions are quite unusual for an ordinary driver, which sometimes leads to appearance of scratches and dents during unsuccessful manoeuvring or parking. Therefore, we encourage you to order full coverage of insurance franchise during your booking, or directly at the rental office in Antalya.
Before leaving the parking garage in Antalya, inspect the minivan for exteriour defects and other signs of damage together with the office representative and mark the found defects found in your rental documents.

Popular questions on rental process
In order to help foreign travellers not to get lost on the road, we’d like to share one simple rule. While driving, you should always monitor closely the vehicle that moves in front of you. Prior to stopping or making another maneuver, you should pay attention to the cars that drive behind you.
Despite the fact that local drivers do not like to stop at a traffic light, foreign drivers should not follow their example. If you stop at the red light and hear that other drivers behind you start honking, this should not be considered a request to break the rules. This way, local drivers simply remind you that you should be attentive and move as soon as the green light appears.
The passion for "cutting" in front of other cars is also considered a distinguishing feature of local drivers. As a rule, drivers of old cars are particularly prone to this kind of traffic violation. While driving, they often move from one lane to another, and this maneuver is usually not accompanied by any additional signal.
