I was especially interested in the ones at <strong>Antalya Airport<\/strong> (that&#8217;s where we flew in). All of them have both advantages and disadvantages. After searching for information on aggregators, I decided to book with an international distributor.

It&#8217;s much more convenient to fly in and complete all the paperwork right away.

But there was no choice &#8211; there are no rental company offices at Aqaba Airport.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Clear fuel policy &#8211; <strong>Full tank &#8211; Full tank<\/strong> and deposit. It turned out to be quite small &#8211; we were frozen about $70 on the card, which was returned three days later, after the car was returned.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>We got the car with a low mileage of 7000 km. and it was diesel (cheaper fuel at the time + better for climbing mountains).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>On the downside, the rental price was a bit more expensive than that of Turkish rental companies: we paid $23 per day, although there were options for <strong>$18<\/strong> from Turkish rental companies.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-pros-and-cons-of-turkish-rentacars\"><strong>Pros and cons of Turkish rentacars:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The <strong>main<\/strong> <strong>advantage<\/strong> is a lower price and a small deposit (sometimes it is not even taken at all) compared to international bookmakers.  <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Often, Turkish car rental companies agree (offer) to deliver and pick up a car in a more convenient place for you. For example, they can drive you to the hotel at the agreed time.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>At the same time, Turkish rental companies are more likely to have<strong>&#8220;tired<\/strong>&#8221; <strong>cars<\/strong> with high mileage. It&#8217;s stressful, especially if you&#8217;re traveling long distances or in the mountains. I don&#8217;t want anything to break down in the middle of the road.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Turkish rental companies often give out a car with a minimum of fuel in the tank &#8211; you have to return the car with the same level. But no matter how hard you try, you will still return more fuel. I prefer the <strong>Full tank &#8211; Full tank<\/strong> scheme, i.e., getting a car with a full tank and returning it with a full tank.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Not all Turkish rental companies are present at airports.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In any case, it&#8217;s up to you to choose.

As a result, we left in 20 minutes and immediately went to look for a rental office. Our flight arrived at Terminal 2, and the Budget office is located in Terminal 1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We found the office without any problems and arranged a car rental in ten minutes. We got a <strong>Renault<\/strong> <strong>Clio<\/strong>, 1.2 engine, diesel. It&#8217;s not the fastest car, but it pulled two people around Turkish serpentines just fine. But it was economical with fuel &#8211; we spent a little more than one tank for 1200 km.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We were given documents with which we went to the parking lot located opposite Terminal 2. Here we were given a car and checked the fuel gauge. According to the terms of the contract, the tank was full. We also checked the scratches and recorded them in the documents. We immediately went on a <strong>road trip through Turkey<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We returned the car in the same place &#8211; two hours before our flight home. We received the car promptly, and the money from the deposit was returned three days after the car was returned. In general, we were satisfied with the rental company, the car and our experience of traveling in a rental car in Turkey. We hardly felt any difference with the European experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-rules-and-peculiarities-of-driving-in-turkey\">Rules and peculiarities of driving in Turkey<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.journeys6senses.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/20200708_151513-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" class=&quot;pull-center&quot; title=&quot;Roads in Turkey&quot; src=&quot;https:\/\/www.journeys6senses.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/20200708_151513-1024x576.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Rent a car in Turkey&quot;&gt;\" class=\"wp-image-11853\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.journeys6senses.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/20200708_151513-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.journeys6senses.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/20200708_151513-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.journeys6senses.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/20200708_151513-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.journeys6senses.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/20200708_151513-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.journeys6senses.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/20200708_151513.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The habits of Turkish drivers are practically no different from those of ordinary European drivers. On the highways, it&#8217;s the same &#8211; sometimes the signs can be in Turkish. For example, the<strong> stop sign is &#8220;DUR<\/strong>&#8220;. In cities, Turkish drivers behave in the same way as in Ukraine. The only difference is that almost no one lets pedestrians cross the street.
