The most popular SUV models offered at rental locations in Izmir are: BMW X3, BMW X5, Toyota Rav4, Hyundai Santa Fe, Kia Sportage, Daihatsu Terios and others.
While selecting your preferred model of an off-road vehicle, please examine the rental conditions. In particular, those requirements that concern credit cards – when it comes to renting an expensive car, sometimes offices in Turkey ask information about two credit cards.
Before signing the contract in the rental office upon arrival, check that the invoice figures match with figures in your voucher.
Once the vehicle is assigned, inspect it carefully before leaving the parking. Crossovers and SUVs are often used in tough road conditions, therefore scratches and other exteriour defects are inevitable. Due to this, it is important to check and specify all existing defects in your rental documents.
If you plan to use an off-road vehicle in the mountains, it is recommended to order snow chains. This will save you from unexpected incidents. Other important equipment in Turkey are mandatory child seats for travellers with children.

Common questions on rental process
In small towns, there are mostly very narrow streets, and so two cars can hardly move on them. Quite often, the main street is a road, the width of which is a little more than three meters. In addition to cars, there are pedestrians and local traders, the tents of which are located along roads.
Moreover, there may be cars parked in both directions in such streets, so there is often enough space for one car only. It is worth noting that the motion in such streets is usually well-organized. One by one, drivers pass each other, so traffic jams are rare there.
You shouldn’t be surprised if you see how one car blocks the traffic on the whole street in order to turn around, or how one of local merchants decides to unload the goods from the car, blocking the traffic in both directions. Here, such things are treated with understanding, so drivers should not honk or complain. You just need to wait patiently until the road is free again.
