Car rental in Sivas — city centre, Nuri Demirağ Airport and high-speed rail station pick-up. Explore Seljuk monuments, Divriği UNESCO site, Kangal thermal springs and Gökpınar Lake by rental car.
Sivas is one of the largest provinces in Turkey's Central Anatolia region, renowned worldwide for its rich Seljuk and Ottoman architectural heritage. With a city-centre population of 300,000 and a total area of 28,600 km² — larger than Belgium — Sivas also holds a special place in Turkey's national history as the city where the Sivas Congress of 1919, a pivotal moment in the founding of the Republic, was convened.
Through Yolzz, you can pick up your rental car at city-centre offices, Nuri Demirağ Airport or the high-speed rail station, and begin exploring this historic city and its surroundings at your own pace. Compare current prices from 100+ car rental suppliers and find the option that suits you best.
Sivas province spans a vast 28,600 km² (larger than Belgium). Beyond the city centre, fascinating districts such as Divriği, Kangal, Gürün, Zara, Suşehri and Şarkışla await — and getting between them by public transport is neither efficient nor practical. With a rental car, you can comfortably cover 300–500 km per day on your own schedule.
While Sivas city centre has a dolmuş and bus network, regular services to outlying districts and tourist sites are sparse. Reaching places such as Kangal Thermal Springs, Gürün Gökpınar Lake and Divriği Grand Mosque by public transport can eat up half a day, whereas the same journeys take just 1–2 hours by car.
Direct road connections link Sivas to Kayseri (and Cappadocia), Tokat (and Amasya), Malatya and Erzincan. For Cappadocia visitors, the return route via Sivas makes for a rich and varied road trip through Central Anatolia.
When visiting Sivas's historical and natural sites, being able to stop freely for photographs, tea breaks and village breakfasts makes a rental car essential. For families of 4–6 travelling together, it is also the most economical option.

Sivas possesses one of Turkey's richest collections of Seljuk heritage. It is represented on the UNESCO World Heritage List by the Divriği Grand Mosque and Hospital. Must-see destinations to explore by car:
Divriği, 195 km from Sivas, has been on the UNESCO World Heritage List since 1985. Its highlights include:
The Kangal Balıklı Kaplıca (Kangal Fish Springs), 110 km from Sivas, is unique in the world. The "doctor fish" — Garra Rufa and Cyprinion Macrostomus — that inhabit the thermal waters have long been used in the treatment of skin conditions such as psoriasis and eczema, drawing visitors from across the globe. Residential treatment programmes are available for longer stays.
Kangal is also the ancestral home of the world-famous Kangal Shepherd Dog. Breeding farms in the district welcome visitors.
Gökpınar Lake in Gürün, 150 km from Sivas, is one of Turkey's clearest lakes. Its turquoise waters, stable at 6–7°C year-round and surrounded by a verdant valley, make it a paradise for photographers. The nearby Şuğul Valley is ideal for hiking.
85 km from Sivas, Tödürge Lake is a tectonically formed wetland and one of Turkey's most important birdwatching sites. Migratory bird species can be observed in spring and autumn.
