Car Hire at Dalaman Airport

Turkey is a modern country with a developed public transport system but many of the most beautiful villages are not connected via buses so driving is the only way to access them. So if you want to get off the beaten track and experience rural Turkey then hiring a car will give you the freedom to explore.
The roads in Turkey are maintained by the government but some of the highways in Turkey only have two lanes and some of the roads across Turkey have pot holes which you should be wary of. Driving should take place on the right of the road and that right of way always belongs to traffic coming from the right.
Dalaman Airport Car Hire
If you intend to hire a car make sure you take your full driving licence from your home country because the car rental agency at Dalaman Airport will want to see it and so will the police if you are stopped.
Drivers in Turkey must be over 21 years of age and have held a driving licence for at least one year (but some car hire companies stipulate minimum age 23). It is also worth noting the following points:
- The wearing of seat belts is compulsory.
- There are strict drink driving laws and the rule is absolutely no alcohol if you intend to drive. Random tests are quite common and police will issue spot fines.
- The speed limits are 120kph (70mph) on motorways, 90kph (55mph) on main roads and 50kph (30mph) in built-up areas.
- If another vehicle flashes its lights it does not mean that they are giving way but that they are taking right of way.
- Road signs conform to international standards but it is worth knowing yourself the following terms: dur (stop), yavas (slow), tehlike (danger), girilmez (no entry), tek yon (one-way), yasak bolge (forbidden area), park yapilmaz (no parking).
- Petrol stations sell super and normal petrol (benzin), diesel (mazot), and unleaded petrol (kursunsuz).
