One of the greatest conveniences of renting a car is being able to collect your vehicle and start your journey as soon as you land. Car rental offices and pickup procedures vary between Istanbul Airport, Sabiha Gökçen Airport, Ankara Esenboğa Airport, and Izmir Adnan Menderes Airport, so it's helpful to know where to go before you arrive.

Many rental companies offer a meet & greet service, where a representative waits for you at the arrivals area and escorts you to your vehicle. When returning the car, be sure to allow extra time for airport traffic and review any additional charges, such as fees for extra drivers or optional insurance. To ensure a smooth pickup, always link your reservation to your flight details so the rental company can monitor any delays.
