Getting around Turkey with your own transport will give you the chance to see all of Turkey 's ancient ruins as many are hard to visit without it.

Although it is a great way to get around, driving in Turkey requires you to drive defensively. With high speeds, low caution and overtaking taking place at the narrowest opportunity, it is important that you create space around your vehicle which will allow for the antics of other drivers.

It is best to avoid driving into the major cities, especially Istanbul and Ankara where driving is at its most chaotic. If you plan to drive to any of the major cities, we advise you to park in the outskirts of the city and then walk in or investigate alternative transport for your visits to the cities.

If you are involved in an accident you must not move your vehicle and you must carry two warning triangles, one to place in front of an immobilized vehicle and one behind it. If you do not do this, Police can issue on the spot fines.
