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 Konya, 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
Signs that prohibit parking and stopping look standard. However, they often have a specific label. In fact, some road signs have power only in a certain period of time or on certain days of week, so it is important to study the information indicated on labels very carefully.
The majority of intersections are equipped with traditional three-section traffic lights, while in some large intersections it is possible to see traffic lights with a timer. It is very simple to understand how they work because they show the remaining time till the switch of the signal.
As it has been noted above, local drivers (and pedestrians) pay attention to the traffic signals rarely. In order to make traffic on heavily loaded streets at least somewhat organized, there are many police patrols on busy roads and at intersections. If the officer's hand is raised up, then all vehicles must stop. The direction, in which it is allowed to move, is shown with one hand.
