About Car Rental at Trabzon Airport
Trabzon Airport (TZX) is the main gateway to the eastern Black Sea. It sits on the seafront in the Ortahisar district, only about 6 km from the city centre, so the city itself is a short ride away. What brings most visitors, though, lies beyond it: Sumela Monastery in the Altindere Valley, the lake at Uzungol, the tea gardens of Rize and the highland pastures known as yayla.
Those places are spread along the coast and up steep valleys, and public transport to them is limited. Trabzon Airport car rental lets you plan around the weather, which changes quickly here, rather than around bus and minibus times. It is especially useful for families, travellers with luggage and anyone fitting several districts into a few days.
Otorento shows offers from independent rental suppliers together: economy and compact cars, automatics, saloons, SUVs and larger family cars, each with transmission, fuel type, fuel policy and rental conditions. Prices and availability depend on dates, car group and supplier. Free cancellation and 24/7 support come with every supplier.
Location and getting around
Road distances from the airport, rounded; journey times depend on traffic, weather and season.
Destination | Road distance (approx.) | Drive time (traffic permitting) |
|---|---|---|
Trabzon centre (Meydan) | 6 km | 10-20 min |
Akcaabat | 24 km | 20-35 min |
Sumela Monastery (Macka) | 46 km | 45-60 min |
Hamsikoy (Macka) | 51 km | 45-60 min |
Rize centre | 72 km | 55-75 min |
Uzungol (Caykara) | 90 km | 1.5-2 h |
Ayder Plateau (Rize) | 155 km | 2-2.5 h |
The airport is right next to the Black Sea coastal highway, which runs east to west along the shore. Go west for Akcaabat and Giresun, east for Surmene, Of and Rize. For Uzungol, leave the coast at Of and drive inland towards Caykara. Sumela and Hamsikoy are to the south, on the Trabzon-Gumushane road via Macka. For Ayder, continue past Rize along the coast, then turn inland up the Firtina Valley towards Camlihemsin.
City buses, dolmus minibuses and taxis link the airport with the centre via the coastal road. That is fine for a hotel in town; for day trips to the valleys and plateaus, a rental car is the more flexible choice.
Picking up your car
The handover point for Trabzon Airport car hire is set by the supplier you book: a rental desk in the terminal, a meet-and-greet at the arrivals exit, or a car park close to the terminal. For meet-and-greet, note from your confirmation where the agent will wait and which number to call if you cannot find them. All of this is in your Trabzon Airport car rental confirmation.
Documents: your driving licence, passport and the payment card named on the booking. Foreign licences are valid in Turkey for up to six months after you enter the country; check your supplier's licence requirements as well.
Deposit: usually taken on a credit card in the main driver's name; the conditions are listed with each offer.
Flight number: add it to the booking. How a delayed arrival is handled depends on the supplier's terms.
Different return point: if you would like to return the car in Rize or Giresun, check the one-way option when you search.
A small car is enough for the city and the coast. For Uzungol, Sumela or the plateaus, a saloon or SUV with more luggage space and power is more comfortable; a 4x4 is offered only where a supplier has one in its fleet. For long trips or one-way rentals, read the mileage limit, fuel policy and deposit terms before booking.
Places to visit by car
Sumela Monastery and the Altindere Valley: the region's best-known historic site, built into a cliff above the forest; approx. 46 km.
Hamsikoy: a village on the way back from Sumela, known for its rice pudding, which has a protected geographical indication; approx. 51 km.
Uzungol: the lake and surrounding plateaus in Caykara, the area's most popular nature trip; approx. 90 km.
Akcaabat and Sera Lake: a coastal town known for its local food and a lakeside walk close to the city; approx. 24 and 19 km.
Rize and Ayder: tea country and a highland spa village in the Kackar Mountains; Rize approx. 72 km, Ayder approx. 155 km.
Driving and parking tips
The coastal highway is fast and divided, but it gets busy at the entrances to Trabzon and around Akcaabat at rush hour and in summer; allow extra time on the way back to the airport.
Roads to Uzungol, Ayder and the plateaus are narrow, winding and steep, and slippery after rain. Snow and ice are possible in winter, so check road conditions first and ask your supplier about winter tyres.
At Sumela you drive to the car park in the Altindere Valley, then walk a few hundred metres up a steep stone path to the entrance. Shuttles run at certain times of year.
Sumela and Uzungol get crowded in summer and on public holidays; start early to find parking.
Before driving on gravel roads, check whether your rental agreement allows it.

Trabzon Airport Car Rental Frequently Asked Questions
How much does car rental cost at Trabzon Airport?
Car rental options at Trabzon Airport start from 21.89 EUR. The final price is updated during booking based on the selected vehicle, rental dates, pickup time, additional services and campaign conditions.
What types of cars can I rent at Trabzon Airport?
Options listed for Trabzon Airport may include Hyundai i20 and similar economy, mid-size or comfort-focused vehicles. Available models change in real time according to the selected dates and supplier availability.
How far is Trabzon Airport from the city centre?
Only about 6 km: the airport sits on the seafront in the Ortahisar district, and Meydan in the centre is 10-20 minutes away by car. City buses, dolmus minibuses and taxis also run into town along the coastal road. A rental car earns its keep for the trips beyond the city, such as Sumela, Uzungol and the Rize valleys, where public transport is limited.
Where do I collect a rental car at Trabzon Airport?
The supplier you book decides: it may be a rental desk in the terminal, a meet-and-greet at the arrivals exit or a car park close to the terminal. For meet-and-greet, note from your confirmation where the agent will wait and which number to call if you cannot find them. The exact handover point and contact details are in your booking confirmation.
How long does it take to drive from Trabzon Airport to Uzungol?
Allow 1.5-2 hours for the roughly 90 km. Follow the Black Sea coastal highway east to Of, then turn inland towards Caykara. The coastal part is quick, but the valley road beyond Of is narrow, winding and steep, and slippery after rain. Uzungol fills up in summer and on public holidays, so an early start makes parking much easier.
Can I drive to Sumela Monastery from Trabzon Airport, and where do I park?
Yes. Sumela is about 46 km south, 45-60 minutes on the Trabzon-Gumushane road via Macka. You drive as far as the car park in the Altindere Valley, then walk a few hundred metres up a steep stone path to the entrance; shuttles run at certain times of year. On the way back, Hamsikoy, known for its rice pudding, is about 51 km from the airport.
What is the route from Trabzon Airport to Rize and the Ayder Plateau?
Drive east on the coastal highway through Surmene and Of; Rize centre is about 72 km and 55-75 minutes away. For Ayder, carry on past Rize, then turn inland up the Firtina Valley towards Camlihemsin, about 155 km and 2-2.5 hours in total. The valley section is far narrower than the coast road, so plan to arrive in daylight.
Do I need a 4x4 or winter tyres for the plateaus near Trabzon?
A 4x4 is not essential, and it is offered only where a supplier has one in its fleet. A saloon or SUV with more power and luggage space is more comfortable on the steep, winding roads to Uzungol, Ayder and the yayla pastures. Snow and ice are possible in winter, so check road conditions and ask your supplier about winter tyres. Check your agreement before driving on gravel roads.
How much time should I allow to return my car at Trabzon Airport before a flight?
The airport is close to town, but build in time for coastal traffic and the vehicle check. The divided coastal highway gets busy at the entrances to Trabzon and around Akcaabat at rush hour and in summer. If you are driving back from Uzungol or Ayder on the day you fly, add that congestion to the 1.5-2 or 2-2.5 hour drive.
Can I pick up at Trabzon Airport and drop off in Rize or at Ordu-Giresun Airport?
Some suppliers allow one-way rentals; set Rize or Ordu-Giresun Airport as the return location in the search to see which offers include it and whether a fee applies. Ending in Rize saves driving the same coastal road twice on an eastern Black Sea loop. Check the mileage limit and fuel policy too, as distances add up quickly between valleys.
What documents do I need to rent a car at Trabzon Airport as a foreign visitor?
Bring your driving licence, passport and the payment card named on the booking; the deposit is usually taken on a credit card in the main driver's name. Under Article 88 of the Turkish Highway Traffic Regulation, a foreign licence is valid for up to six months after you enter Turkey. Ask your supplier whether it also wants an International Driving Permit. Free cancellation and 24/7 support come with every supplier.
