Winter

AutoSivas winters drop well below freezing, with regular snowfall and icy patches on the D-795 towards Gürün and the mountain passes east of town. A compact SUV with winter tyres delivers the extra ground clearance and four-wheel traction you need when roads get slippery. Heated seats and a robust heating system make those long, cold drives between ski resorts and the city far more comfortable. A higher driving position also helps when fog rolls across the central Anatolian plateau.
Mountain
SUV

AutoThe rolling highlands and rocky terrain around Sivas, including routes towards Tödürge Gölü and the Divriği foothills, mix tarmac with rougher unsurfaced stretches. A mid-size SUV gives you the clearance and stability to handle gravel tracks, livestock on the road and sudden weather changes. It still feels compact enough for the narrow lanes of central Sivas, where parking near the bazaar can be tight. Strong air conditioning is a real bonus during the dry, dusty summer months.
City
Small

AutoSivas itself is a compact city with one-way streets, busy roundabouts around the university and modest parking near the Ulu Cami and Çifte Minareli Medrese. A small hatchback slips into tight bays, sips fuel on short hops and keeps running costs low for British travellers watching the budget. Light steering and good visibility make navigating rush-hour traffic much less stressful. It is also the most common category available at the airport, so you will usually find the best rates here.

Fastest Start After Landing at Sivas (VAS)
Ideal for UK travellers flying in and wanting to drive straight away. Airport desks typically provide the best availability, clearer late-arrival processes and easier one-way options. Expect slightly higher rates due to airport fees, but fewer logistical steps and better support if your flight is delayed.

Popular Day Trips From Sivas:
Sivas Old Town Highlights (Gök Medrese, Buruciye, Şifaiye)
A compact self-guided circuit of Sivas’s landmark madrasas and historic core. Park once near the centre and explore on foot to avoid repeated parking and one-way streets.
Kangal And The Hot Springs Area
An easy out-and-back drive to the Kangal area, best known for thermal waters and a slower rural pace. Ideal when you want a restorative break from city sightseeing.
Hafik Lake Picnic And Lakeside Views
A quick escape north-east of Sivas for calm lake views and an unfussy picnic stop. Great for families and travellers short on time who still want fresh air and scenery.
Yıldız Mountain (Yıldız Dağı) Nature Drive
A local favourite for cooler temperatures, forested slopes and panoramic viewpoints. In winter, check road status and tyres; in summer, it’s a pleasant highland drive.
Car Rental Planning Tips For Driving Around Sivas
Check Licence And ID Requirements: Carry your driving licence and passport/ID; some companies may request an International Driving Permit depending on where your licence was issued.
Choose Sensible Insurance Coverage: Compare excess (deductible) amounts and consider adding windscreen/tyre cover if you plan rural roads; photograph the car at pick-up and drop-off.
Plan For Winter Conditions: Sivas can be very cold with snow and ice in winter; confirm winter tyres are fitted, ask about chains, and allow extra time for mountain routes and passes.
Keep Fuel Topped Up Outside Towns: Fuel stations are common on main highways, but can be sparse on smaller rural stretches; refuel before heading to Divriği or highland areas.
Use Offline Maps And Watch For Speed Limits: Mobile coverage can dip in valleys; download offline maps and follow posted limits and average-speed checks on intercity roads.
Simplify Parking In The City Centre: Historic Sivas is easier if you park once and walk; choose accommodation with parking if staying overnight and avoid peak hours around busy junctions.
Build In Buffer Time For Roadworks: Intercity routes can have seasonal roadworks; add 20–40 minutes to longer drives, especially when aiming for a specific museum or mosque opening time.
Save Emergency And Assistance Numbers: Store the rental company’s roadside assistance contact and keep a charged phone and cable in the car; carry water in summer and warm layers in winter.
