Compare 80+ cars from local providers — Mersin city, Erdemli & Adana Airport (ADA) pickup.
Prices from €18 • City or Airport Pickup • Pay on collection
Arriving at Adana Airport (ADA)? Most partners offer meet-and-greet service directly at arrivals — simply look for our representative with a name board near Terminal exits. For guests staying in Mersin city centre or Erdemli, we coordinate local pickup near the marina or direct hotel delivery, eliminating taxi transfers with luggage along the coast.
Travellers bound for Kızkalesi (45 min) or Silifke (1 hr) can often arrange one-way pickup at ADA with drop-off in their coastal town — ideal for linear Mediterranean itineraries. Pro tip: If your first day focuses on relaxing at Mersin Marina or dining on fresh fish, consider picking up your rental on day 2 for independent exploration of Kızkalesi or the ancient city of Tarsus. This avoids paying for unused city-centre parking and gives flexibility to adjust plans based on weather or local advice from your Mersin hotel concierge. All handovers include a digital vehicle inspection via WhatsApp, so you receive timestamped photos of the car's condition before driving off from any Mersin-area location.
While a rental car unlocks the Cilicia coast, there are scenarios where skipping the keys makes more sense. If your stay is strictly limited to Mersin city centre with visits only to the Marina, Museum and waterfront parks, local taxis and walking are cheaper than daily rental + parking fees. Similarly, if you're visiting solely for business meetings in the port area, hotel shuttles or corporate transfers may be more efficient.
Another exception: short 1-day transfers via Adana Airport (ADA) with immediate departure. Pre-booked shuttles to Mersin are cost-effective for solo travellers. However, if you plan even one independent day trip to Kızkalesi, the Cennet-Cehennem abysses, or the Tarsus historical sites, a car quickly pays for itself in flexibility, time saved, and access to hidden coastal coves not served by public transport.
Base rates in Mersin start at €18/day for economy models in shoulder seasons (April–May, October–November). Peak summer (June–September) sees 25–35% increases due to Mediterranean beach tourism and citrus harvest season visitors. All listings include mandatory third-party liability; optional Full Coverage removes excess liability and enables no-deposit bookings — especially popular for travellers collecting at Adana Airport (ADA).

Mersin-Specific Savings: Book 10+ days ahead for early-bird rates during Mersin International Music Festival (Oct) or summer peak. Weekly rentals include one free additional driver. Child seats, GPS, and mountain tyre chains (Dec–Feb for Çamlıyayla trips) are complimentary on request. Payment is due at vehicle collection in Mersin city or Adana Airport — no pre-charges or hidden fees.
Economy cars like the Fiat Egea are ideal for navigating Mersin's modern boulevards and short hops to the Marina or Tarsus. For coastal routes towards Kızkalesi or multi-day trips along the D400 towards Silifke and Anamur, we recommend Comfort or SUV models like the Toyota Corolla for smooth highway driving. Families staying in Erdemli resorts often prefer minivans for luggage capacity and comfort during day trips to Kızkalesi Castle or Cennet-Cehennem abysses.
