well said Mr Scunner   - its really not worth the risk.  Go to a reputable company and check full licences/documentation are in place.  (Some turkish drivers are a law to themselves and as careful and brilliant a driver as you may be, you simply can't prepare enough for who else may be on the road !).

one company in the latest Land of Lights has a full page advert and offering 100 pounds per week which is good here.

Best Iv'e paid in 20 pound per day.

Yup, Pandora are usually between 20 - 22 pound depending on car and season.  Have paid less out of season because Mr Pookie drives a hard bargain !!!

It is important to check that all paperwork and insurance is in order. If you have an accident you need to know you are covered. If you have a serious accident and you are not covered locally, the chances are you will find you are not covered by your holiday travel insurance either and hospital fees can be horrific. Just my personal view I must say, I would not be looking to hire a car in a foreign country from a place with no company name working off a hotel hotmail address but then some people can't resist a holiday bargain when they get to Turkey...



I agree with you Keith. Have asked all the relevant questions & have been assured everything is 100% correct & all the relevant documentation is in place. I am not "sticking up" for anyone here, just passing on facts as I've found them. I believe the car hire is not the main focus of this business, this can be good or bad for the hirer as we all know!

Peace in our time!!! I've used Dalamancars twice last year and will be using them again this year. They have an office about 2 miles from the airport. They were waiting at the airport both times, one was 2.00am. The car was a Toyota Corolla in good condition, drove 240 miles in the week, no problems. I would advise  you to take the additional insurance to cover the glass, lights, windscreen etc, if you know the roads in Turkey you will understand why.
I can recommend this company.

Withing 5 minutes of your first post, we have been waiting to see who you came here to plug. You need a hire car for your holiday in Fethiye/Olu Deniz to get you from the airport - but you were in Fethiye when you asked and are in Fethiye now!!! You must think we are really stupid here!

Bye...
