What long-term rental means
Long-term rental is for an ongoing need rather than a temporary fix. Alongside daily rentals, long-term domestic car rental is one of the services Beta Car Rental describes as core to its business.
It tends to suit people asking questions like:
- Should I buy a car in Turkey or rent one for the long haul?
- I would rather not deal with buying, reselling and depreciation.
- I live in Turkey for now but do not plan to own a car here.
- My business needs vehicles without tying up capital.
For a temporary stay with a known end date, monthly car rental may suit you better. If several vehicles or employees are involved, see corporate car rental.
Buying versus renting long term
The right answer depends on your circumstances. Points worth comparing:
- Upfront cost. Buying means paying for the car outright or financing it; with a rental, the payment plan is set out in your offer.
- Depreciation and resale. Selling the car later is not your problem when you rent.
- Servicing and insurance. Ask how these are handled during the rental and get the details in writing. This site does not describe coverage.
- Flexibility. Check whether you can extend, shorten or change vehicle class if your needs change.
Getting an offer
Long-term rentals are arranged directly with the team rather than through the standard booking flow:
- Phone: +90 850 885 23 82 or +90 543 414 97 97
- WhatsApp: +90 541 215 44 00
- Email: [email protected]
Share the period you have in mind, preferred vehicle class, expected annual mileage, the city where you want to collect the car and driver details. Asking for the terms in writing makes comparison easier. More options are on the contact page.
Which cars to consider
For mostly urban use, an economy car keeps things simple. Families and frequent long-distance drivers often look at midsize cars or SUVs, and executive use points to luxury cars. Driver requirements vary by car: minimum age 22–30, licence held 2–5 years.
