go for it
we (two 60ish women) rented a car in turkey and drove all around the western half of the country with no problem..................only mishaps were a nail in the tire and lost the back license plate.............we had full coverage on the car, but the rental company still tried to give us a hard time about the license plate, but the hotel concierge came to our rescue when we returned the car in istanbul......oh, yes, we did get a parking ticket that cost over $100............there seems to be no markings/signs/etc to tell you where or where not to park so ASK at the closest shop before you leave your vehicle.............
