Car Rental Without Credit Card in Turkey

If freedom and comfort matter to you when traveling, renting a car in Turkey is the best way to explore the country. Road trips let you discover Antalya's scenic coastline, the cozy bays of the Aegean Sea, the unique landscapes of Cappadocia and Pamukkale, or major cities like Istanbul and Izmir. Many locations are far apart and inconvenient to reach by public transport.

Having a car significantly simplifies getting around the country. An important advantage is that you can rent one without a credit card in just a few minutes. In different regions—from Antalya to Cappadocia—you can choose a suitable vehicle, pay for the rental with a debit card or another convenient method, and hit the road immediately.

Benefits of Renting Without a Credit Card in Turkey

When you choose car rental without a credit card on the Localrent website, you get several advantages:

• Accessible to everyone. This is an ideal option for travelers who prefer using only their own money and don't have a credit card.
• Multiple payment options. Debit card, cash, cryptocurrency—all available options can be selected using the appropriate filters.
• Lower financial barriers. Even young travelers who haven't obtained a credit card yet can rent a car.
• Transparent pricing. Possible fees and charges associated with credit card use are eliminated.
• Wide vehicle selection. Even without a credit card, you get access to a broad range of vehicles and high service standards in any region of Turkey.
  

Payment Methods Without a Credit Card

Available payment methods depend on the type of payment. For example, to make a deposit when booking a car on the Localrent website, a bank card is always required—cash payment is not available at this stage.

For paying the remaining amount and making a security deposit, different options are available:

• Debit card rental—the most common method. The card must be issued in the primary driver's name. Local companies accept debit cards for rental payment and deposit. In the latter case, make sure your balance has sufficient funds for the deposit hold.
• Cash payment—another popular payment method. Often you can pay not only for the car rental in Turkey but also make the deposit in cash.
• Cryptocurrency. Less common compared to previous methods. Some rental companies accept crypto in Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) for both rental and deposit payments.

Available payment methods depend on the specific vehicle.

Requirements for Renting Without a Credit Card

To book a car and pick it up upon arrival in Turkey, you'll need:

• valid driver's license
• passport or other identity document
• bank card for making the advance payment

You should also consider rental company requirements:

• Driver's age. Rental companies set minimum and maximum age limits at their discretion. Usually stricter requirements apply to luxury class models.
• Deposit. Some vehicles are available without a deposit.
• Insurance. Companies sometimes offer extended insurance coverage.
  

How to Book a Car Without a Credit Card in Turkey

To book a car for traveling around Turkey, follow these simple steps:

1. Specify your desired pickup location in Turkey (specific city, airport) and pickup/return dates.
2. Use appropriate filters in the search results.
3. Review available offers and rental terms from different companies.
4. Choose a car based on your preferences and budget. Check the vehicle details for technical specifications, rental and payment terms. Add extra options and review the final price.
5. Complete the booking and pay the advance with a bank card. You pay a small portion of the rental cost online (15-20%), and the remainder can be paid when picking up the vehicle.
