When hiring a budget hatchback, it is definitely worth saving on insurance deposit (franchise). Deposits on small cars in Turkey vary from 100 to 1.000 euro/dollars. Check the rental conditions of each car in your selection to find a vehicle with a minimum deposit.
If your routes in Turkey are foreseen to pass through hilly areas or mountains, it is not recommended to consider very small cars for rental. Their engines are usually insufficient for a confident driving on the roads with long or steep climbs.
At the rental office in Fethiye, consider to take a 'Breakdown Assistance' package or ask an officer for a contact data to use in case of a vehicle breakdown. Cheap cars are sometimes unpredictable in operation.
Upon receipt of the rental invoice, please check that all the information, as well as the final payment amount do match the data in your voucher.

Detailed FAQ on the rental process
You shouldn’t be surprised if you see how one car blocks the traffic on the whole street in order to turn around, or how one of local merchants decides to unload the goods from the car, blocking the traffic in both directions. Here, such things are treated with understanding, so drivers should not honk or complain. You just need to wait patiently until the road is free again.
In major cities, traffic jams are not uncommon. However, even here drivers are very polite and patient. Even if there is a traffic jam on the road, it is still not allowed to occupy the extreme left lane. It must always remain free for road service vehicles and other privileged vehicles.
Drivers always notify each other of the police patrol. They do it in a standard way – they “wink” with headlights to the cars moving in the opposite direction. As already mentioned above, you should not be scared if the patrol asks you to stop. In most cases, this is just a standard document check.
