I want to give a great big shout out for Pegasus rental cars, they have a fab offer on at the mo a week car hire £50 (includes insurance)
Now it is cooler it’s a great time to explore places that are just too hot to visit in summer, we have been here there and everywhere places we could not have gone on public transport...
This is the third time we have used them this year can’t praise enough 😀
-
Meant to say I’m soo glad hubby has been brave enough to drive out here cos omg I couldn’t do it and what an experience it’s been! ;)

We hired a Hyundai Accord automatic from Pegasus for 3 weeks in September. The car was faultless and the Pegasus guys were very helpful on arrival. At departure though it was sad to see all the rental cars parked up around the airport hire car company's forecourts on our way to our "repatriation" flight. A lot of glum looking drives as well.
As we passed the entrance to the new main building we noticed on the left,scores of transfer buses parked up in the Domestic side of the airport, another sign of Thompson's failure.

Karennina Thank you very much for the great info, we will be using Pegasus on boxing day when we are next there for 3 weeks ;)
-
Your very welcome Tosh Tosh hope you have a lovely trip next month
What a a fab service from Pegasus we have had, for anyone thinking of coming out of season and thinking about a transfer they also bring the hire car to Dalaman so we are going to do that next time we here as it seems funny to think now we weren’t brave enough to drive from airport before, to be honest we both think it will be a doddle now after some of the driving experiences we have had!
And after some of the probs with Hoppa this year it will be fab not to have to wait for shared bus at airport...
-
Thanks Karennina, i will let you know how we get on !! :)

The main thing to remember about driving in Turkey is 'Always expect the unexpected', even moreso than when driving in the UK. Oh, and keep pressing that horn !
-
Yes i think if they used their indicators they failef their test,
Unless someone took the test for them.😎😎😛
-
Ha we have seen soo few people use their indicators far more horn action then indicating going on!
My worst fear has been running a random dog over!
-
It's a well known fact that the only reason to scrap a car in Turkey is if the horn doesn't work. ;)
-
If anybody is interested the £50 a week offer is now on until 25th March.

I want to give another great big shout out to Pegasus rent a car...
So this time as transfers are not plentiful at this time of year we decided to drive ourselves from Dalaman and pick up the car there...
Absolutely fantastic service and a much cheaper way of getting from airport we had a day time flight so the drive to Calis was lovely, same going back, tho we did have a bit of a “ worrying 5 or so minutes as the petrol light came on and whilst we were seeing lots of garages on the opposite side of the road there appeared to be none on ours, when I finally spotted one in the distance never have I been so glad to see a garage...
We love the novelty of petrol stations in Turkey where they fill up for you and maybe give your windscreen a clean at the same time and don’t bat an eyelid if you just ask for 20tl worth of fuel.
Incidentally if anyone is thinking of hiring a car for the first time this year, car hire in Turkey appears to work on an empty to empty basis re the fuel...
-
Pegasus are an excellent company for car hire and I've used them several times in the past and never had any problems.
However, I'd always recommend, whichever car hire company you use, to take photos of every body panel, all glass, including front and rear lights, tyre tread and the interior including the spare tyre and tools in the boot, when taking the car on. This could save you getting an unexpected claim later for damage that was already on the vehicle.

Ooh that’s a good idea KKOB I must remember for next time I feel as tho we are now hooked on having a car tho I don’t think the day will come when I’m brave enough to drive in Turkey myself :D
