Mersin Car Rental

Car Rental in Mersin — No Airport, Maximum Flexibility

Mersin has no commercial airport of its own — the nearest is Adana Airport (ADA), approximately 70 km away. For travellers arriving by ferry from Northern Cyprus or cruise ships docking at the port, picking up a rental car at the port area or city centre is the most practical option. RentaCarSAW compares rates from 100+ companies across the Mersin and Adana region, helping you save 25-40%.

Coastal and Regional Routes

Mersin is the starting point for one of Turkey's most beautiful coastal drives. The key destinations accessible by car:

• Kızkalesi: Fairy-tale sea castle 65 km west of Mersin — no public transport connection
• Tarsus: Ancient city and birthplace of St. Paul, 30 km east
• Silifke: Ancient ruins and coastal plateaus, 75 km west
• Anamur: Mamure Castle and banana plantations, 180 km along the coast
• Mersin Free Zone and port: Practical base for business travellers

Vehicle Recommendations

A mid-size sedan is adequate for coastal routes. For families or those planning highland excursions (Bolkar Mountains, Taurus plateaus), an SUV offers more comfort. Summer temperatures regularly exceed 35°C — air conditioning is essential.

Peak Season and Cruise Tourism

June through September brings both domestic tourists and cruise passengers, causing a 30-40% rise in rental prices. Booking early through RentaCarSAW secures the best rate from 100+ companies and guarantees vehicle availability during peak weeks.
