Antalya Airport (AYT) Car Rental Guide 2026

AYT pickup vs Alanya delivery, fees, documents and the road to Alanya.

How to rent a car at Antalya Airport in 2026: pickup options, delivery from Alanya, documents, fuel and realistic drive time to the coast.

AYT desk vs Alanya delivery

Antalya Airport (AYT) is the main gateway for the Turkish Riviera. Large international desks operate in both terminals, but queues and upselling are common in peak summer.

Many visitors staying in Alanya, Mahmutlar or Side prefer office or hotel delivery arranged by a local company such as Yoldaş Rent a Car. Delivery to AYT from Alanya is available (typically a modest fee — confirm when booking) and avoids circling multi-storey car parks after a long flight.

Documents you need in 2026

Bring a full national driving licence held for the required minimum years, passport, and a booking confirmation. An International Driving Permit (IDP) is recommended if your licence is not Latin-script.

Turkey generally requires a credit/debit card policy that varies by company — ask whether a refundable deposit applies. Yoldaş commonly works with clear insurance and transparent terms; always read the fuel and excess clauses before you sign.

Drive times from AYT

Expect roughly 1.5–2 hours to central Alanya in normal traffic via the D400 coastal road, longer on Saturday afternoons in July–August. Side is about 1 hour; Belek and Kundu are closer to the airport.

Night arrivals are straightforward: the coastal road is lit through most towns, but watch for lane merges and coaches.

Practical tips

Photograph the car from all sides at handover.
Confirm whether HGS / toll stickers are in the vehicle for motorways.
Save the agency WhatsApp number before you leave the terminal.
If your flight lands late, arrange meet-and-greet in advance.
