Kayseri Erkilet Airport (ASR) Car Rental

Kayseri Erkilet Airport (IATA: ASR) is Central Anatolia's busiest airport and the main international gateway for Cappadocia. Located just 5 km from Kayseri city centre, ASR receives 15–20 daily scheduled flights from Istanbul (IST and SAW), Izmir (ADB), Ankara (ESB) and Antalya (AYT). It is by far the most practical air entry point for travellers planning to visit Cappadocia, Erciyes Ski Resort or the wider Kayseri region.

Through Yolzz, you can compare prices from 100+ car rental suppliers and complete your booking in minutes. Your vehicle will be waiting at the terminal when you land.

Why Rent a Car at Kayseri Erkilet Airport?

Fastest Access to Cappadocia

From ASR to Göreme it is 75 km — just 1 hour. Package tour shuttle transfers, stopping at multiple hotels en route, typically take 2–2.5 hours. With your own rental car you go directly to your accommodation and arrive in time for a sunset walk in the valleys — or even catch your hot-air balloon the next morning without rushing.

Year-Round Flight Frequency

Nevşehir Airport (NAV) operates mainly during peak season with limited routes. Kayseri Erkilet receives 15–20 scheduled flights daily, year-round, from all major Turkish cities. Far greater flight time flexibility means you can choose arrival and departure slots that suit your itinerary.

Erciyes Ski Resort — 30 Minutes Away

One of Turkey's largest ski resorts, the Erciyes Ski Centre is just 30 km (40 minutes) from the airport. In winter, collecting your car at ASR and heading straight to the slopes beats waiting for a hotel shuttle by a wide margin. Outside ski hours, you can explore Kayseri city, the Cappadocia valleys or nearby villages at will.

Save on Hotel Transfers

Private airport transfers to Cappadocia hotels cost 3,000–5,000 TL (~$94–156) for a family of four. The equivalent rental car costs 850–1,500 TL (~$27–47) — and you keep it for the whole holiday. For families, renting a car is overwhelmingly more economical.

24/7 Open Counters

ASR car rental counters are open for all scheduled arrivals. If you need to collect your car at midnight in order to reach Göreme for a 04:30 balloon pick-up, simply include your flight number when booking — the supplier will have the car ready.

Wide Vehicle Selection

From economy compacts (Fiat Egea, Renault Clio) and mid-range saloons (Toyota Corolla, Skoda Octavia) to SUVs (Dacia Duster 4x4, Hyundai Tucson) and premium vehicles (BMW 3 Series, Mercedes C-Class) — a full range is available to suit every trip type and group size.

Which Vehicle Type Should I Choose?

City Centre + Short Cappadocia Trip: Compact

Fiat Egea, Renault Clio, Hyundai i20 — easy to park in Göreme's narrow lanes. Ideal for solo travellers or couples.

Family Holiday: Mid-Range Saloon or SUV

For a family of 4–5, Toyota Corolla or Renault Megane is sufficient. Travelling with children and luggage? An SUV like Dacia Duster or Renault Kadjar offers more comfort and boot space. SUVs also handle cave hotel access roads more easily.

Winter and Erciyes: 4x4 or High-Clearance Vehicle

Travelling to Erciyes or snow-covered Cappadocia roads between December and March? A Dacia Duster 4x4, Hyundai Tucson or Volkswagen Tiguan with winter tyres is essential. Always check that chains are available.

VIP and Business Transfer: Premium

BMW 3 Series, Mercedes C-Class or Audi A4 — for corporate visits or private tours requiring a prestige vehicle and long-distance comfort.

Groups and Large Families (6+ people): Minivan

A 7–9 seat minivan (VW Caravelle, Mercedes Vito) accommodates the whole group and all luggage — far more economical than booking two separate cars.
