Our guests flying from Munich to Turkey collect their car at the airport where they land in Turkey: the booking form of SAW Rent A Car lists 15 airports, including Istanbul, Antalya, Izmir and Dalaman, plus Bursa city centre. Once your ticket departing from Munich Airport (MUC) is confirmed, choose your arrival point in the form; if you are combining a holiday and a home-town visit on the same trip, you can also set the return point separately so that you can leave the car at another point.
For many families coming from Bavaria, the trip to Turkey has two stops: first they rest on the coast for a while, then they visit relatives in the home town, or the order is the other way round. Between the two stops there is often a long road journey, and covering it by bus or on a domestic flight with all the suitcases is tiring. A rental car lets you make this transfer on your own schedule; in our booking system, which has welcomed more than 50,000 guests, you can plan both stops in a single rental.
From Munich Airport (MUC) there are flights to Turkey, to Istanbul's airports and to the holiday airports on the Mediterranean and Aegean coasts; some cities are reached directly, others with a connection, and the timetable changes with the season. When you buy your ticket, choose your arrival airport according to where your first stop will be.
For those who start with a holiday and finish in the home town, or do it the other way round, these are the points in the form that stand out:
You can see all 16 points in the form on our pick-up points page.
The order we recommend for travellers from Munich who want to cover two different regions with a single rental:
Most of our guests living in Munich obtained their driving licence in Germany. Our rental conditions have a single criterion for foreign licences: A national licence issued in the Latin alphabet or an international driving permit is accepted. A licence issued in Germany meets this criterion. The documents required when you collect the car are few: your driving licence and your ID card or passport.
The minimum age and years of licence depend on the car: some cars can be rented at 21 with a licence held for 2 years; in the upper segment the requirement rises to 25–27 years of age and 5–7 years of licence. The requirement for the car you choose is shown on its car card on the booking screen.
If more than one person will share the wheel on the trip, ask our customer service about the additional driver conditions by WhatsApp or phone before booking.
The list was compiled from the search for 20–27 October 2026 made in our booking system on 11 October 2026 for Istanbul Airport and Sabiha Gökçen; both points listed the same 19 cars. As the list may differ at the points in the holiday regions, search in the form with your own pick-up point.
If you are planning a long road journey, a car with automatic transmission can make the trip easier; remember that in the 9-seat car the driver requirement is age 27 and 7 years of licence.
Those who travel from Munich to Turkey by road drive for days through Austria and the Balkan countries; border crossings, road tolls and the journey back also have to be taken into account. Families who fly and rent in Turkey spend those days on holiday instead and drive the road between the two stops only once, inside Turkey.
If you choose to come in your own car, know this rule for toll roads in Turkey:
According to KGM, foreign-plated vehicles using toll motorways and bridges must have an HGS account with at least enough balance to cover the toll. An HGS account can be opened at PTT branches and agents at border gates and inside the country, or at bank branches; unpaid violations must be settled before you leave. Details: KGM – Foreign-plated vehicles.
In a rental car, crossings are deducted from the car's HGS balance; under art. 4.10 of the Rental Conditions, bridge, motorway and HGS/OGS tolls belong to the renter and the remaining balance is refunded at the end of the rental. Current rates are in our article bridge and motorway tolls for 2026.
The school holiday calendar in Bavaria differs from that of the other federal states; plan your flight and car dates according to your own holiday calendar. When the rental lasts 8–29 days the weekly rate applies, and for 30 days or more the monthly rate; details are on our monthly car rental page.
On a two-stop trip, renting the car once for a long period takes less effort than making a new rental at each stop; you can see the total price of the two scenarios separately in the form.
If your plan changes during the holiday, write to our customer service by WhatsApp or phone to extend the rental or change the return point.
In the form, the return point is chosen separately from the pick-up point; for example, you can start your holiday in Antalya and leave the car at an airport close to your home town or in Istanbul. In our search of 11 October 2026 with pick-up at Sabiha Gökçen and return in Antalya, the car cards showed a separate "One-way fee" line.
Confirm the fee for returning at a different point with our customer service by WhatsApp or phone before completing the booking.
When you book online, the payment options are shown on the card of the car you choose; you pick the one that suits you before confirming the booking.
If you have no credit card, make the booking through our customer service by WhatsApp or phone; payment can be arranged by bank transfer, EFT, cash, Wise or Revolut. All conditions for renting without a card are on our car rental without a credit card page.
We accept Wise and cash deposits — no credit card required.
Documents: A valid driving licence plus an identity card or passport.
Age and years of licence: These vary from car to car; they are shown in the selection list above and on the booking card.
Young driver: For drivers aged 21–25, contact our customer service by WhatsApp or phone for the young driver conditions and fee.
Included in the price: The "Included Services" section of the search cards lists free delivery, a clean car, a fair fuel policy, VAT and free roadside assistance.
Mileage and fuel: The total mileage allowance for the rental period and the fuel policy are shown on the car card.
