Avoid large upfront purchase taxes
With ÖTV and VAT adding heavily to new-car prices, a monthly fee lets you use a newer car without paying those costs upfront. The taxes are still reflected in the price you pay.

Car Subscriptions in Turkey
Buying a new car in Turkey is expensive. Special consumption tax (ÖTV), VAT and annual motor vehicle tax (MTV) push prices well above those in much of Europe, and high inflation makes long financing commitments risky.
That has made monthly car rental (aylık araç kiralama) and, more recently, true subscriptions (araç abonelik) an attractive way to drive a newer car without tying up capital.
The subscription segment is still young. SIXT launched SIXT+ in Turkey with rolling 30-day plans, and manufacturers such as Fiat and Jeep have trialled subscription offers for electric models with partners. Most of the market is still made up of large rental companies offering monthly rentals and long-term operational leasing, mainly in Istanbul, Ankara, Izmir and Antalya. Prices are quoted in Turkish lira and can change frequently.

Guide
How car subscriptions work in Turkey
To rent or subscribe monthly in Turkey you usually need to be at least 21, hold a driving licence for at least one or two years, show a national ID or passport and pay with a credit card in your name. Some providers carry out a financial assessment after booking. Monthly rentals often include a set kilometre limit, commonly a few thousand kilometres, and charge for extra distance. The car is normally collected from a branch, where the contract is signed, and fuel is paid separately.
Things to check before you subscribe
- Check whether the price includes 20% VAT and whether fees are one-off or monthly.
- Ask for the monthly kilometre limit and the cost per extra kilometre.
- Confirm the insurance excess and which damage is excluded.
- Check whether prices can change during the contract given inflation.
- Confirm which branches you can collect from and return to.
Business
Car subscriptions for business
Companies in Turkey widely use operational leasing (operasyonel kiralama) and monthly corporate rental for fleets, often for 12 to 36 months. Monthly rental and subscription fees may be treated as business expenses, subject to the limits that apply to passenger cars; consult a financial adviser (mali müşavir) about the treatment for your company.
