Car Rental Companies at Esenboğa Airport

Suppliers operate both inside the terminal and in nearby off-airport facilities:

  • In-Terminal Offices: Global brands like Avis, Budget, Enterprise, and Garenta operate directly inside the Arrivals hall. After signing your contract, you simply walk to the designated terminal parking garage to pick up your vehicle within minutes—no shuttle required.

  • Off-Airport & Shuttle Services: Trusted local suppliers located just outside the airport grounds often provide highly competitive rates. When you book with these companies, a free courtesy shuttle meets you outside the terminal to take you to the nearby main office.

Which Vehicle Should You Choose?

ESB offers a rich fleet tailored for the capital's wide boulevards or regional road trips:

  • City Driving: For central districts like Kızılay, Tunalı, or Bahçelievler where street parking can be tight, compact hatchbacks or economy sedans offer the best maneuverability.

  • Business & Diplomatic Travel: As a hub for diplomacy, Ankara demands prestige. Choose from our luxury fleet (e.g., Mercedes, BMW) for a high-comfort executive experience.

  • Regional Excursions (Cappadocia, Bolu): If you plan to drive from Ankara to surrounding tourism centers, spacious SUVs provide superior comfort and luggage capacity.

Practical Tips for Renting a Car at ESB

  • Driving to the City Center: Driving straight down Özal Boulevard (Esenboğa Road) provides a direct route to downtown Ankara, typically taking 30 to 40 minutes depending on traffic.

  • Fueling Before Return: To easily comply with "Full-to-Full" fuel policies, refuel at the gas stations located along the airport road just before reaching the terminal.

  • Compare Deals: Always compare suppliers, as many offer seasonal discounts or promotional rates through Yolcu360.

Parking and Vehicle Return Process

  • Picking Up: When renting from in-terminal offices, your car will be waiting in the main terminal parking lot. The exit ticket fee is generally pre-paid by the rental agency.

  • Dropping Off: As you approach the airport for your departure flight, simply follow the "Rent a Car Return" or "P3 Otopark" overhead signs to enter the designated drop-off zone.

  • Short-Term Parking: If you are driving your own vehicle to pick someone up, the short-term parking fee for 1 to 3 hours is approximately 260 TRY.
