Generally a lack of reviews of car rental in Antalya so was a little worried about what I might get when I arrived.
Leading up to my holiday had good email/voice communication with Turtas and no money was taken up front.
When I arrived at the airport no one was waiting but spoke to one of the other rental guys (they all seem to know each other) who got on the phone and about 10 mins later someone turned up. I wasn't overally put out by this as planes don't always arrive on time and you don't always get through baggage reclaim as quickly as we did.
Anyway, shown to a very nice relatively new Renault Fluence. Professional hand-over and paper work and off I went. The car suited my needs and had little problem with 2 adults and a couple of kids in the back. Having initially booked for 6 days I extended it by 8 more over the phone.
I did have to put some coolent and water in the car after a few days which does make you wonder about oil etc, however the car ran OK.
Dropped off the car at the wrong terminal but was given a lift to the correct one after monies was sorted out. I did get the impression that they would rather take payment in cash (euros) as they weren't ready to handle a credit card payment. One of the guys had to shoot off to their office to confirm the credit card payment. Anyway luckily this didn't take too long so wasn't put out by it.
All in all very happy with the service and car recieved and wouldn't hesitate to use them the next I'm in Antalya.
The fuel conditions were like for like and there was a 500 euro excess for insurance. The next time I rent a car I am going to look into getting an insurance excess policy in this country, particularly if I drive in Turkey again as Turkish drivers are a bit in a hurry overtaking you from all angles (I've been a passenger with my Turkish brother in-law in Istanbul so I'm talking from experience ;-). read more
