I didn't rent one. I went with my own car. I was only commenting about driving in Turkey in my post.

We rented a car once, at Antalya, but it was winter time, so i guess that was the reason why i found it very cheap. I m sorry i can't recall the amount now, but i can tell you for sure that it was really cheap.

The kilometres we made with my own car were around 2000, from the greek borders to Kusadasi and all the way back again, plus the short distances covered there everyday. And the fuel's cost was again cheap. Though they say that fuel in Turkey is expensive.

I don't know where you are from, but compared to Greek prices, Turkish were heavenly good.

If I was to offer any advice on renting and driving in Turkey it would be to try and pay for the rental while there. In my experience of paying for rentals with a credit card, the rates you think you are acquiring the vehicle for seem to get lost in the exchange rate with the banks. Also regarding actually driving on the roads in Turkey I would suggest that you familarise yourself with the over take rule. On major roads there are 1000mt stretches that alternate between the directions of traffic to allow overtaking.

Quoting phatz:

But the reality seems to be that you flash your headlights and overtake anywhere As long as you flash your headlights you can go anywhere lol
