What is a midsize car?
Midsize cars sit between compact hatchbacks and SUVs. On the booking site you may see this class labelled Middle. They are still easy to drive in town but give rear passengers and luggage noticeably more room.
Who it suits
- Families or groups of four to five
- Intercity drives and multi-day road trips
- Business travellers splitting time between city streets and motorways
- Drivers who find economy cars too small but do not need an SUV
Example models
The official fleet listing includes:
- Toyota Corolla
- Renault Megane
- Fiat Egea Cross
These are examples only; availability depends on dates and pickup point. All three are marked automatic on the listing.
Driver requirements
- Minimum driver age: 23–25, depending on the model
- Minimum licence held: 3 years
The deposit and exact requirements for each car are shown on betacarrental.com, along with mileage, fuel and toll policies.
Practical tips
- Long-distance comfort. On routes like Ankara to Cappadocia or Izmir along the Aegean coast, a midsize car is far less tiring than a small hatchback.
- Boot space. Saloon versions usually carry more luggage than hatchbacks; check the exact capacity in the car's details.
- City use. These cars remain manageable in town, though in very narrow streets an economy car is easier.
- Fuel. Both petrol and diesel models can appear; on long trips the fuel type is worth considering.
Matching services
Midsize cars are a popular pick for weekly car rental road trips, monthly car rental during a relocation or project, and long-term car rental.
Where to pick up
Ankara Esenboğa Airport is a good gateway to Central Anatolia, and Izmir Airport to the Aegean. In Istanbul, Istanbul Airport and Taksim are options too.
