Hi everyone! Planning a two-week road trip along the Turquoise Coast in Turkey later this summer (flying into Antalya and dropping off in Dalaman). We are looking to arrange a car hire in advance to avoid long terminal queues or inflated counter rates. For those who have rented vehicles in Turkey recently, what key things should UK travelers watch out for regarding international driving permits , security deposit holds on credit cards, and full CDW insurance coverage? Any recommended booking platforms that provide clear terms in English without hidden fees at pickup?

Renting a car is definitely the best way to explore coastal Turkey at your own pace. A few key tips from my recent trip: UK photo driving licenses are fully recognized, so you generally won't need an IDP unless your license is non-photographic. Always opt for comprehensive insurance to protect against minor gravel scratches on mountain roads. Also, pay close attention to HGS toll electronic tags most rental companies include them in the vehicle and simply deduct toll charges from your security deposit upon return. Make sure to inspect the bodywork, take clear time-stamped video at pick-up, and check fuel policy terms before driving off.
