Good to know

  • Come prepared and save time at pick-up. You'll typically need your physical driver's licence (no copies) and another form of photo ID. Also keep a credit card handy to cover the required excess. If anything extra is required, you'll find it in your booking.

  • Familiarise yourself with your rental. Fix your seat and mirrors, find the lights and wipers, and get a feel for its handling before you set off. And don't forget to stay on the right side of the road in Türkiye (Turkey).
