Circular Car Hire is a car rental company founded and based in Turkey. Having started in 1998, the company has plenty of experience with renting cars to travelers of all types. The company is based in Istanbul, the largest city in Turkey. 

While Circular Car Hire is based in Turkey, it has expanded over the years to have locations in Bulgaria, North Macedonia, and Romania, too. This includes locations at Alexander the Great Airport in Skopje, Bucharest Airport, and Varna, Burgas, and Plovdiv Airports. The company has over 50 locations in Turkey, though. These included locations in almost all major Turkish cities and at all major Turkish airports. They serve all of the popular tourist destinations in Turkey, including Istanbul, Ankara, Konya, Izmir, Kayseri for Cappadocia, and so on. 

Circular Car Hire has an extensive fleet of vehicles in most of their locations. The company is able to perfectly serve both leisure and business travelers. It has small cars, medium-sized cars, larger cars, vans, SUVs, and premium and luxury vehicles. So no matter what the purpose of your trip is, you can find a vehicle that’ll work perfectly for you with Circular Car Hire. The company’s cars are well-maintained and new popular models. This includes both manual and automatic vehicles (make sure to book an automatic if that’s what you need).

Circular Car Hire doesn’t allow its vehicles to be taken outside of the country where the vehicle was rented. So if you’re planning a trip that consists of traveling through multiple countries with a rental car, then you’ll have to find a different rental company to use.

One of the biggest issues many renters have is not realizing that most rental companies require a credit card in order to leave the deposit when picking up the car. Circular Car Hire is no exception here — the company requires renters to present a credit card upon pick-up. Circular doesn’t accept debit cards. Keep in mind that if you’re renting a premium or luxury car, an SUV, or a van, you’ll likely need to separate credit cards (from two separate banks).

Circular Car Hire does allow one-way rentals within Turkey. The company charges a one-way fee as almost all rental companies do. You can find out how much that is when searching using your desired pick-up and drop-off locations. Even though Circular has locations in Bulgaria, North Macedonia, and Romania the company doesn’t allow one-way rental to or from these countries.

You must be at least 21 and no older than 75 to rent a vehicle from Circular in Turkey. If you are under 23, you will only be able to rent certain car classes. The company has further age restrictions for premium and luxury vehicles and vans. You’ll also likely have to leave a bigger deposit for those types of vehicles as well.

Circular Car Hire’s experience, well-maintained fleet, and friendly customer service make for a great rental experience for travelers no matter what the purpose of their trip to Turkey (or North Macedonia, Bulgaria, or Romania) is.
