Turkish Car Hire

[nice1two]

Got too go for a wedding in Turkey in September. Has anyone got any good tips for a car hire company or a good comparison site, i found economy car rentals which were cheap but never heard of them so was worried.

So any tips would be greatly appreciated.

Not sure of a Villa called The White House, there may well be one as there are a great many Villas there now.
There is also a B&B Hotel in town called The White House.

Either way if you are staying in the centre of Town my advice would be pay for the transfer from the airport at £55 each way. You will not need a car. You only need a car if you wish to travel about and visit Patara, Kas,Fethiye for example.

The prices for cars are going up everywhere and also depends on date going currently £165 a week to £180. Parking in the Old town is difficult but its not far to park and walk in.
The majority of car rentals are good and meet and greet at the airport.

We are going in 4 weeks so will be booking ours shortly and will update you with prices and best firm then.
Cheers

we've used economy car rentals for Greece for the last few years, no probs with them. they're just a broker, on collection our cars have come from Avis, National etc...

SNAP!! But in July

Having researched this a while ago most people were pointing to a company called Enes however I have booked with Dalaman Cars (www.dalamancars.com)

I haven't been yet however the communication has been great (native English speaker I am guessing, called Cath) plus when I booked they advised me that the prices would be going DOWN in 2013 so would email with my new lower price...which they did and it dropped by £60 (and we are not talking a massive landcruiser or anything so 60 notes is quite a chunk). They were cheaper than Enes as well (but not too cheap IYKWIM)

Ive used both Enes and Dalaman cars. You are right with your comment that Enes are more expensive. Dalaman cars are fine they are based out of the airport so allow time on your return when dropping your car off.They are only a mile out of the airport but if dark you can miss them on the road whichis not that well lit.
