Prices from €19 • Airport or City Pickup • Pay on collection
Base rates in Trabzon start at €19/day for economy models in shoulder seasons (May–June, September–October). Peak summer (July–August) sees 30–40% increases due to Black Sea coastal tourism and cultural heritage travellers visiting Sumela Monastery. All listings include mandatory third-party liability; optional Full Coverage removes excess liability and enables no-deposit bookings — especially popular for travellers collecting at Trabzon Airport (TZX).

Trabzon-Specific Savings: Book 10+ days ahead for early-bird rates during Trabzon International Film Festival (Oct) or summer peak. Weekly rentals include one free additional driver. Child seats, GPS, and mountain tyre chains (Nov–Mar for high-altitude trips) are complimentary on request. Payment is due at vehicle collection in Trabzon city or Airport — no pre-charges or hidden fees.
While a rental car unlocks the Pontic Mountains and Black Sea coast, there are scenarios where skipping the keys makes more sense. If your itinerary focuses strictly on Trabzon city centre with visits only to Hagia Sophia of Trabzon, Atatürk Pavilion and the historic bazaar, local walking paths and dolmuş services are cheaper than daily rental + limited parking in the compact historic district.
Another exception: travel during heavy fog or winter snow conditions. Mountain roads to Sumela Monastery or Uzungöl can become hazardous with limited visibility; in these conditions, booking a local guided transfer with an experienced driver is often safer than independent driving. However, if you plan even one independent day trip to Uzungöl, the Sumela Monastery, or the Çal Cave, a car quickly pays for itself in flexibility, time saved, and access to hidden Black Sea viewpoints not served by public transport.
Arriving at Trabzon Airport (TZX)? 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 Trabzon city centre or near the Black Sea coast, we coordinate local pickup near the historic bazaar or direct hotel delivery, eliminating taxi transfers with luggage through narrow coastal streets.
Travellers bound for Rize (45 min drive) or Uzungöl (1.5 hrs) can often arrange one-way pickup at TZX with drop-off in their mountain destination — ideal for linear Black Sea itineraries. Pro tip: If your first day focuses on guided tours of Sumela Monastery or Atatürk Pavilion, consider picking up your rental on day 2 for independent exploration of Rize tea plantations or the Uzungöl mountain lake. This avoids paying for unused city-centre parking and gives flexibility to adjust plans based on weather or local advice from your Trabzon 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 Trabzon-area location.
Economy cars like the Fiat Egea are ideal for navigating Trabzon's compact historic streets and short hops to Hagia Sophia of Trabzon or Atatürk Pavilion. For mountain routes like Sumela Monastery or multi-day trips along the D010 towards Rize and Uzungöl, we recommend SUVs like the Nissan Qashqai or Dacia Duster for higher ground clearance and better handling in foggy or wet conditions. Families staying in Trabzon centre often prefer minivans for luggage capacity and comfort during day trips to Rize tea plantations or Çal Cave.
