How to rent a car in Antalya without overpaying (deposit, insurance, which company to choose)?

Some hotels have a car rental desk on the lobby floor — prices aren't always posted, so compare offers. If it's too pricey, ask your hotel guide or find a rental company in Telegram beforehand.

Deposits are usually taken in cash; pick a larger company with clear corporate policies since small damage won't be waived. There's a daily mileage limit with extra charges if exceeded, relevant for long road trips. Skip full insurance only if you're confident in your driving.

Don't send prepayment online — instead walk around to offices with a 'car rental' sign and negotiate in person. A deposit of about 2000 lira gets you a small economy car like a Renault Clio.
