Before you collect your Turkish hire car, it is important that you familiarise yourself with the local driving laws and regulations. Drivers in Turkey must stick to the national speed limits, which are displayed in km/h rather than in mph. If you are driving in built-up areas, the speed limit is generally 50 km/h (30 mph), while on rural roads the speed limit is 90 km/h (55 mph). On motorways, the speed limit is 120 km/h (70 mph). Speed cameras are fitted on some major roads in Turkey and, if you are caught travelling above the limit, you can be fined on the spot. Turkey also enforces strict drink-driving laws and drivers may be breathalysed if they are suspected of being under the influence. The legal blood alcohol limit for drivers in Turkey is 0.05%. On-the-spot fines may be issued to drivers if anyone in the car is not wearing a seat belt.
To drive in Turkey, UK drivers must have a full British licence. Most car hire companies will only lease cars to drivers who have had their licence for at least one year. You should also take another proof of identification with you, such as a valid passport or proof of address, when you go to pick up your vehicle. British motorists should also get a 1968 International Driver’s Permit (IDP) before they travel. You should keep your IDP in the car with you while driving in Turkey. If you have made the booking online or paid a deposit with a credit or debit card, you will also need to show this card when picking up your car. Most car hire companies in Istanbul will accept credit and debit card payments.
Hiring a car in Istanbul is a great way to explore the city and see more of the surrounding area and other nearby towns. The D-100 highway takes you along the Sea of Marmara coast and connects with towns like Golcuk and Gebze. You can also drive from Istanbul to Bursa in around 3 hours to see the city’s famous historical and heritage sites. If you drive north out of Istanbul along the 0-7, you will reach the Black Sea Coast and can connect with seaside towns like Zonguldak and the scenic cliffs at Sile. Meanwhile, if you want to enjoy a few days away in another major Turkish city, you can drive from Istanbul to Ankara in around 6 hours and from Istanbul to Eskisehir in around 4h 30min.
