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 Side.
Before leaving the parking garage in Side, 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
Roads in Turkey are distinguished by high quality of surface and excellent informative support. This is particularly true about the roads in the south-western region of the country, as well as the roads that pass through popular tourist destinations.
Right driving is generally accepted in the country, but local drivers do not bother to follow traffic regulations. It is not uncommon to see a car that moves right in the center of the road without paying any attention to the lanes for each direction.
Local drivers are inclined to making violent maneuvers on the road. You can expect virtually anything from them. Sharp turns and sudden stops, passing the red light and speeding – these are the most common traffic violations in Turkey. It is also worth considering that drivers make maneuvers without turning on light signals. This fact makes the situation on the roads of the country really complicated.
