Driving Tips for Turkey
Drive your SIXT rental car in Turkey and experience the country on your own terms with these helpful Turkey driving tips:
- On the right: As in America and most of Europe, you’ll be driving on the right when you rent a car in Turkey.
- Parking: Parking rules and restrictions can change based on the time of day or weather conditions. Be sure to read parking signs carefully to avoid a fine or getting towed.
- Speed limits: The general speed limits in Turkey are 50 km/h (31 mph) within city limits, 90 km/h (56 mph) beyond city limits, and 120 km/h (75 mph) on motorways. Remember to slow down in case of bad weather, pedestrian traffic, or challenging roads.
- Car horns: People exercise liberal use of car horns in Turkey. However, honking is prohibited late at night.
- Add-on protection: Since credit card and personal policies are often limited in foreign countries, consider adding extra protection to your car rental in Turkey.
