Car Rental at Izmir Adnan Menderes Airport (ADB)

Gateway to the Aegean

Izmir Adnan Menderes Airport (ADB) is in Gaziemir, south of Izmir's city centre. Its location makes it a convenient starting point for the whole central Aegean: the stone houses of Alaçatı and the beaches of Çeşme to the west, the ancient city of Ephesus and the hillside village of Şirince to the south, and Izmir's lively seafront in between. Hiring a car lets you string these places together without relying on tours or intercity buses.

Pickup point

Izmir Airport is a pickup point for Beta Car Rental, not a terminal desk. Once you have booked, the team contacts you to confirm where and when you will collect the car. You can call +90 850 885 23 82 or message +90 541 215 44 00 on WhatsApp with any questions.

How to book

On betacarrental.com, select Izmir Adnan Menderes as your pickup location, add your dates and choose a car. Every listing shows its minimum driver age, years of licence required and security deposit. Prices are shown only on the booking site. At handover, bring your driving licence and passport.

Choosing a car for the Aegean

An economy car is ideal for city stays and easy parking near the waterfront. For longer drives between Çeşme, Kuşadası and Didim, a midsize car is more comfortable. Families often go for an SUV, business travellers for a luxury car, and wedding parties or groups for a minivan or minibus.

Driving around Izmir

Motorways and tolls. The airport is close to the Izmir–Çeşme and Izmir–Aydın motorways. Both are tolled and paid electronically via HGS, so ask at handover how tolls are handled for your car.

Approximate drive times from the airport:

• Ephesus and Selçuk: approximately 45 minutes to 1 hour (Şirince is just above Selçuk)
• Kuşadası: approximately 1 hour
• Alaçatı and Çeşme: approximately 1–1.25 hours
• Urla's vineyards: approximately 45 minutes
• Pergamon (Bergama): approximately 1.5–2 hours

Seasonal tips. In summer the Çeşme motorway gets busy on Friday evenings and Sunday afternoons. Alaçatı's lanes are narrow, so park on the edge of town and walk in. Afternoon winds along the coast can be strong; hold the door when parking by the sea.
