Hire a Car in Ordu, Turkey With Competitive Prices and Local Know‑How

Compare airport and city-centre pickup options, understand insurance and fuel policies, and drive the Black Sea coast confidently with our UK-focused Ordu car hire guide.

UK Travellers’ Essentials
Ordu Car Hire Guide For UK Travellers
Hiring a car in Ordu is one of the easiest ways to explore the Black Sea coast at your own pace—especially if you want to visit beaches, upland plateaus (yaylas) and nearby towns without relying on infrequent regional buses. For travellers from the United Kingdom, the main advantages are flexibility and often strong value outside peak summer; the trade-offs are city-centre parking, occasional steep roads inland, and the need to be comfortable with local driving style. Expect manual cars to be most common, with automatics and larger vehicles best booked early. Check what your quote includes (insurance excess, mileage, young driver fees, additional driver, and cross-border restrictions), and photograph the vehicle at pickup and return.

Ordu–Giresun Airport (OGU) Car Rental Area
Ordu’s main airport for most international arrivals via Istanbul/Ankara connections. Car hire desks are typically in or near the arrivals area, with vehicles collected from the airport car park. Pros: longest opening hours, best availability for automatics and SUVs, straightforward onward driving on the coastal road. Cons: prices can be higher than city locations, queues at peak arrival banks, and some suppliers may require a larger deposit on a credit card.
Ordu City Centre (Altınordu) Offices
Convenient if you are staying in central Ordu first or arriving by coach. Pros: sometimes lower day rates than the airport and easier to compare nearby branches on foot. Cons: limited weekend hours, fewer automatics, and kerbside pickup/return can be busy; allow extra time for traffic and inspection.
Ordu Intercity Coach Station (Ordu Otogarı) Area
A practical pickup point for travellers reaching Ordu overland or connecting from nearby provinces. Pros: good for one-way trips, and easier access to main roads without driving deep into the centre. Cons: inventory may be smaller, and exact pickup instructions can vary by supplier (meeting point vs office).

Ordu's seafront promenades and narrow old-town lanes are far easier to negotiate in a compact hatchback. A small petrol car keeps fuel costs low, slips into tight bays near Boztepe cable car, and handles the stop-start coastal traffic without fuss. Light steering is ideal for first-time visitors.

The winding mountain roads up to Aybastı and Perşembe plateaus demand extra ground clearance, especially in winter when mist and light snow are common. A modern crossover SUV with auto transmission handles hairpin bends, damp tarmac, and gravel pull-ins to viewpoints with reassuring stability.

Travelling with extended family, golf bags for the new courses, or the inevitable hazelnut-shopping haul? A seven-seat MPV gives everyone room to stretch on the longer drives towards Ünye and Giresun. Big boots swallow suitcases, and elevated seating makes coastal scenery far more enjoyable for children.

Hiring a Car in Ordu, Turkey: FAQs

Practical answers on driving licences, tolls, weather and parking for a self-drive trip along the Black Sea coast

Can I drive in Ordu with a British driving licence, or do I need an International Driving Permit?
Yes, your full UK photocard licence is valid in Turkey for up to six months without an IDP, which is the situation most British travellers need. There is no requirement for a notarised translation. The minimum age to rent is usually 21, with drivers under 25 paying a young-driver surcharge of roughly £8–15 per day, and most firms cap the upper age at 70–75.
What are the roads like between Ordu and Trabzon, and are there mountain passes I should worry about?
The D795 coast road is a well-maintained dual carriageway with light traffic, but expect short tunnels, slow lorries and a 90 km/h limit enforced by average-speed cameras. Inland routes towards Sivas or Tokat climb to 1,800 m on tight, twisting single-carriageway roads, often damp and foggy. Drive on the right, overtake only on dedicated lanes, and keep well back on blind bends.
Is there a motorway toll near Ordu, and do I need an HGS/OGS tag for the Black Sea highway?
There is no toll on the D795 along the Ordu–Trabzon coast, so you can forget about HGS tags for most Black Sea drives. Tolls only kick in if you head west on the O-31 towards Samsun and Ankara, charged at about ₺80–120 per 100 km via the HGS windscreen transponder. Most rental cars already carry one, so confirm at pick-up and you will sail through the toll gates.
What fuel should I use in Ordu, and are petrol stations easy to find along the coast?
Petrol is called benzin and diesel motorin; nearly all hire cars run on unleaded benzin 95 or diesel, both widely available from Petrol Ofisi, Shell and BP stations every 20–30 km along the coast. Stations in rural Sivas- and Tokat-bound mountain roads close early, so fill up in Ordu after 21:00. Pick-ups are usually full-to-full; missing refuelling costs around 2.5× the pump price plus a service fee.
Does it snow in Ordu in winter, and are winter tyres or snow chains compulsory on the coastal roads?
Coastal Ordu itself sees only brief flurries and heavy rain, so ordinary tyres are fine, but inland drives to Aybastı, Çambaşı and the highland plateau get 1–2 m of snow between December and March. Turkish traffic law requires winter tyres (lastik) on certain mountain stretches and chains in your boot for higher passes; many rental firms include them for free if you request in advance, otherwise budget about £15 a day.
Where is the best place to park in central Ordu, and how do I pay for street parking without a Turkish card?
Use the multi-storey Otopark near Cumhuriyet Square or the beachfront lots around Atatürk Boulevard, both charging about ₺30–50 per hour and guarded 24/7. On-street bays use the Belediye Otopark metres that accept credit cards and the KentKart contactless card sold at kiosks. Avoid parking under the hazelnut orchards on the edge of town; flat tyres and local fines of ₺600 are common.
