Top 5 best quad bike (ATV) rentals in Ankara

Ankara rarely makes it onto a rider's shortlist of Turkish destinations, and that's exactly the point. While the capital's traffic and government blocks keep most visitors on foot or in a taxi, the real reason to come here on four wheels is what surrounds the city: the forested trails of Soğuksu National Park, the rock walls of the Beypazarı Kırkgeçit Canyon, the pine tracks of Beynam Forest. This is where a quad bike rental in Ankara earns its keep — on the unpaved climbs and dam-lake shorelines a city car can't touch.

Ankara itself is landlocked, hilly and spread across a wide plateau, with an unusually dense ring of forests, canyons and reservoirs within an hour or two of the center. That's terrain built for a quad, not a scooter: rutted forest roads, loose gravel switchbacks and long stretches where the nearest paved road is a memory. A guided 4x4 tour will get you to one of these places for the day; renting your own ATV lets you string two or three together, set your own pace and pull over wherever the view earns it.

Top 10 things to see in Ankara by quad bike

1. Soğuksu National Park (Kızılcahamam) — forested hills, marked trails and streams about an hour north, the classic day-trip destination for off-road riding near Ankara.
2. Beypazarı Kırkgeçit Canyon — a narrow, dramatic canyon near the historic Ottoman town of Beypazarı, a favorite rocky trail for off-road and ATV groups.
3. Mogan Lake (Gölbaşı) — a lakeside park with flat tracks and picnic areas, an easy scenic ride south of the city center.
4. Eymir Lake — a quieter lake near the METU forest, with dirt paths through pine woods good for an easy loop.
5. Beynam Forest — a large pine reserve south of the city, laced with unpaved roads favored by local ATV and trail-riding groups.
6. Elmadağ — a mountain just east of Ankara with a ski center and steep unpaved roads offering panoramic views over the capital.
7. Nallıhan Bird Paradise (Kuş Cenneti) — a wetland reserve reached via rural roads, a longer-range ride rewarded with wildlife and river-valley scenery.
8. Hirfanlı Dam Lake — a large reservoir southeast of the city with quiet shoreline tracks, popular for longer off-road excursions.
9. Çubuk Dam Lake — close to the city, a reservoir ringed by dirt roads — a short, accessible first outing.
10. Ankara Castle (Ankara Kalesi) — the old citadel above Ulus, a natural finishing point with sweeping views over the city.

What do you need to rent a quad bike in Ankara?

Guided off-road quad tours in Turkey usually only require a briefing and no formal licence, but if you plan to take a quad onto public roads it needs to be road-registered and you'll need a licence that covers it. Most operators set a minimum age of 18. Expect to leave a deposit, either as a card hold or in cash, and bring your International Driving Permit (IDP) along with your home licence just in case.

How much does it cost to rent a quad bike in Ankara?

Prices are quoted in TRY. A standard 250–300cc quad runs roughly 1,500–2,500 TRY per day in high season, dropping to around 800–900 TRY per day in low season. Larger 450cc-plus models or buggy-style ATVs go for 2,500–4,000+ TRY per day.

• Prices climb in June, July and August, when demand across Turkey's rental market peaks.
• December through February is the cheapest stretch, when the cold keeps most riders away.
• Booking a few days ahead in summer helps you get the model and dates you want.

When to book a rental quad bike in Ankara?

High season runs June to August, when prices and demand are at their peak. Low season falls between December and February, with the coldest months bringing the cheapest rates but also snow and freezing conditions inland. For the best balance of good weather and lighter crowds, aim for late spring or early autumn.

Local traffic rules in Ankara

Turkey drives on the right. Helmets are compulsory for riders on motorised two-wheelers and this is actively enforced, so wear one even on a short forest loop. General speed limits are 50 km/h in built-up areas and 90 km/h on rural roads, though off-road quads are meant to stay off public highways unless properly registered. The blood-alcohol limit is 0.05% for private drivers, with routine roadside checks, so treat a day of riding as a day off drinking.
