About Car Rental at Kars Harakani Airport
Kars Harakani Airport serves Kars, a high-plateau city close to Turkey's borders with Armenia and Georgia. The airport sits just south of town, about 6 km from the centre according to the Turkish airports authority (DHMI), so the transfer into Kars is short. The real distances begin afterwards: the ruins of Ani, Lake Cildir and the Sarikamis ski slopes are all an hour or so away.
Most visitors come for Ani, for the snowy winter landscapes made popular by the Eastern Express train, or for skiing at Sarikamis; others fly in for work or family. Kars Harakani Airport car rental lets you see the main sights on your own timetable. Tours exist, but with a car you can stay at Ani until the late-afternoon light, stop by the frozen lake on the way back, or drive on to Ardahan or Erzurum.
With Otorento you compare Kars car rental offers from independent suppliers in one search, including deposit, mileage and fuel conditions. The number of cars at a smaller airport like Kars is limited, and winter weekends and holidays can be busy, so it pays to search early. Prices depend on dates, car group and supplier. Every booking includes free cancellation and 24/7 support.
Location and getting around
From the airport, the road runs north into Kars and on to the old town below the castle. Ani lies to the east on a quiet road towards the Armenian border, Sarikamis to the south-west on the way to Erzurum, and Lake Cildir to the north on the Ardahan road. DHMI lists a shuttle service between the airport and the city, as well as taxis.
Destination | Road distance (approx.) | Drive time (traffic permitting) |
|---|---|---|
Kars railway station | 6 km | 10-15 min |
Kars Castle and old town | 8 km | 15-20 min |
Sarikamis Ski Centre | 55 km | 50-60 min |
Lake Cildir | 63 km | about 1 hour |
Ani archaeological site | 64 km | about 1.25-1.5 hours |
Ardahan | 101 km | about 1.5 hours |
Erzurum | 213 km | about 3 hours |
The roads around Kars are state highways without tolls. Kars is the eastern terminus of the Eastern Express (Dogu Ekspresi) from Ankara, so some travellers arrive by train and fly home, or the other way round; if you plan to collect a car at the airport and return it elsewhere, set a different return location in the search form to see one-way offers.
Picking up your car
DHMI lists a handful of rental companies at Kars airport, including international brands and local firms. Depending on the supplier, someone may meet you at the arrivals exit with a name board or hand the car over at a desk or car park near the terminal. Your booking confirmation gives the meeting point and the supplier's contact number.
Documents: your driving licence, passport and the credit card used for the deposit, in the main driver's name. Turkish rules allow a foreign licence to be used for up to six months from your date of entry; check your supplier's requirements if your licence is not in Latin script.
Flight number: snow can delay winter flights into Kars; with the flight number on the booking the supplier can follow your arrival.
Winter: ask whether winter tyres are fitted, and look at the mileage limit if you plan long drives to Ani, Cildir and Sarikamis.
At the return, allow time for the short drive from town and for the security check at the small terminal. Kars car hire handovers are usually quick, but photograph the fuel gauge and mileage at both ends.
Places to visit by car
Ani: the ruined medieval city on a plateau above the border gorge, with cathedrals, churches and city walls, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2016. Approx. 64 km.
Kars Castle and the old town: the castle on its rocky hill overlooks the river, and the streets below keep Baltic-style stone buildings from the Russian period (1878-1918). Approx. 8 km.
Lake Cildir: a large lake on the Kars-Ardahan border that freezes in winter; when the ice is thick enough, visitors take horse-drawn sleigh rides and fishermen fish through holes in the ice. Approx. 63 km.
Sarikamis: a ski resort among pine forests south-west of Kars, convenient for a day on the slopes or as a stop on the way to Erzurum. Approx. 55 km.
Ardahan: a quieter province to the north, reached via the Cildir road. Approx. 101 km.
Driving and parking tips
Kars sits at about 1,770 m and winter temperatures fall well below freezing. Expect snow and black ice from late autumn to spring, keep the fuel tank well filled and carry warm clothing in the car.
The road to Ani runs through open, sparsely populated country towards the border; there are few services on the way, so plan fuel and food in Kars.
Never drive onto the frozen surface of Lake Cildir; leave the car on the shore and only go onto the ice where locals run organised sleigh rides.
In the old town, park on a main street and walk up to the castle; the lanes near the top are narrow and steep.
Days are short in winter. Plan the return from Ani or Cildir before dark.
