Renting a car in Turkey requires a valid driving licence, a passport or ID, and a credit card in the driver's name. The minimum age is usually 21 for economy and midsize classes and 25-27 for luxury and SUVs; most suppliers also want the licence to be 1-3 years old. Prices on Voyago include compulsory traffic insurance, collision cover with an excess and taxes; fuel and the deposit are not included and are stated on each car's card. Pick-up points are the IST, SAW, AYT, ADB, BJV, NAV and TZX airports plus city branches.
You need a valid driving licence, an ID card or passport, and a credit card in the driver's name for the deposit. Turkish citizens give their national ID number; foreign drivers give a passport. The credit card must belong to the driver who signs the rental — someone else's card is not accepted.
21 is usually enough for economy and midsize classes; for luxury and SUVs the threshold rises to 25-27. Most suppliers also require the licence to be 1-3 years old. When you enter the driver's age in the search, the results show only the cars that age qualifies for.
Yes, foreign licences are accepted for the duration of a tourist stay. If your licence is not in the Latin alphabet, carry an international driving permit alongside it — some branches ask for one at hand-over. The original document is required, not a copy.

Displayed prices include compulsory traffic insurance, collision cover with an excess and theft protection. The excess is the amount you carry yourself in the event of damage. You can zero it by adding the zero-excess full cover package as an extra during booking. Tyre, glass and headlight damage falls outside some rates; the cover is stated on each car's card.
The deposit is blocked on your credit card at pick-up and released after the car is returned; depending on your bank the release can take a few working days. The amount is shown on each car before you book. Some suppliers offer a no-deposit option, which you can filter for in the results.
It depends on the car: some offers include unlimited mileage, others cap it at 250-350 km per day. The limit is on every car's card before you book and an extra-kilometre package can be added if needed. If you are planning a long intercity route — Antalya to Cappadocia, say — an unlimited-mileage offer usually works out cheaper.
Most Turkish suppliers use a full-to-full policy: you take the car with a full tank and return it full. Fuel is not included in the price. If the tank is short on return, the company charges at its own rate, so filling up at a station near the airport before handing back is cheaper.
Yes — just tick "return to a different location" when searching. Any one-way fee is included in the total price shown before you pay. A one-way rental saves time on itineraries where you fly into one city and out of another.
Yes, an additional driver can be added during booking. That driver must also meet the age and licence conditions and show their document at hand-over. Anyone not named on the contract driving the car voids the insurance, so if you plan to share the driving, add the second driver.
Cancellation and refund terms vary by supplier and rate, so we check eligibility with the supplier before cancelling anything and tell you whether the amount is refundable. Just contact us with your booking reference.
