By car to Fethiye

If you need a car for the run down Turkey's Turquoise Coast, Rent-Trip arranges car rental in Antalya for a trip to Fethiye with 65 vehicles to choose from, starting at ₺1,893 a day. We deliver the car to any address in Antalya and to Antalya Airport (AYT) and Gazipaşa-Alanya Airport (GZP), and the delivery address, date and time are agreed with a manager before the booking is fixed.

What car rental in Antalya for a trip to Fethiye includes

Rent-Trip runs 65 cars in four classes on this page, with the vehicle brought to the address you give when booking. A booking covers the vehicle, VAT included pricing, compulsory third-party cover and a full-to-full fuel rule.

How the car reaches you before the D400

We bring the car to any address in the city and to Antalya Airport (AYT) or Gazipaşa-Alanya Airport (GZP), and the delivery address, date and time are agreed with a manager before the booking is fixed. The same address takes the car back at the end of the trip; a different return point is arranged separately and the fee for it sits in the rental agreement. Our fleet is 65 cars across Comfort, Crossover, Minivans and SUV, so the delivery slot is matched to a specific vehicle, not to a category placeholder. Delivery outside the places we list is arranged case by case — ask before you fix dates, because an address outside these places is confirmed only by the manager.

What the rental agreement fixes and what it leaves open

• VAT included pricing: every rate on this page already includes value-added tax at 20%, so the daily figure is the figure you compare.
• Compulsory traffic insurance: compulsory third-party liability cover is required by law on every registered vehicle in Turkey and is part of the booking.
• Full-to-full fuel: the car comes with a full tank and goes back full; the missing fuel and a refuelling service fee are charged as set out in the rental agreement.
• Security hold: a credit card in the main driver's name is required, and the deposit and any excess are written into the agreement rather than quoted here.
• Documents: passport, entry stamp, home driving licence, plus an International Driving Permit if the licence is not in Latin script.

Read the fuel clause first — the refuelling service fee is the item travellers query most, and it is the one line that turns a full-to-full arrangement into an argument at hand-over if nobody checked it before signing.

Choosing a class for a car rental in Antalya for a trip to Fethiye

Four classes cover the 65 cars on this page, and the gap between the cheapest and the dearest is wide enough that the choice matters more than the badge on the bonnet. Comfort opens at ₺1,893 a day, Crossover at ₺2,183, Minivans at ₺2,240 and SUV at ₺2,523. All four are front-wheel drive, and every one of them handles the run south without special preparation.

Four classes side by side

The cheapest class is not the smallest: Comfort holds 16 cars including hatchbacks and saloons, so a low rate here buys a proper five-seater rather than a city runabout.

Five, seven, eight or nine seats

• Five seats — 46 cars: the default for couples and small families, from the Kia XCeed at ₺1,893 to the Toyota C-HR at ₺6,634.
• Seven seats — 5 cars: the Dacia Jogger at ₺4,081, the Peugeot 5008 at ₺4,690 and the Mercedes-Benz V-Class at ₺7,714 among them.
• Eight seats — 1 car: the Fiat Ulysse at ₺4,281, a diesel, the only eight-seat option on the page.
• Nine seats — 13 cars: from the Toyota Proace Verso at ₺2,240 to the Renault Trafic at ₺6,794, all of them diesel.

Nine-seat minibuses are all diesel — check the gearbox of the chosen one, it matters on a long run, because a full load of passengers and bags is where a manual gearbox and a small petrol engine start to cost you fuel and patience.

Petrol, diesel or hybrid for the route

41 cars run on petrol, 19 on diesel and 5 are hybrid. Petrol dominates the Comfort and Crossover classes, diesel sits mostly under the minibuses, and the hybrids are spread thinly — the Toyota Corolla at ₺3,339, the Renault Austral at ₺4,348, the Toyota Corolla Cross at ₺4,588, the Opel Frontera at ₺2,661 and the Toyota C-HR at ₺6,634. Fuel prices around the city differ between petrol and diesel, so the cheaper pump price does not automatically mean the cheaper trip: a diesel minibus carrying nine people and their luggage can still undercut two petrol crossovers doing the same journey.

In our experience the class decision is made by the boot, not the engine. A group of four with a week of bags fits a Crossover only if the rear seats stay up, and the Škoda Octavia at ₺2,794 — a five-seat liftback with 150 hp — is a strong value against several SUVs in a higher price band. Decide the seats and the luggage first, then pick the class that matches; that order saves both a cramped drive and an unnecessary upgrade.

Automatic or manual for car rental in Antalya for a trip to Fethiye

Automatic or manual is the second decision in car rental in Antalya for a trip to Fethiye, and it changes how the D400 feels along the coast and through the mountains. Gearbox choice decides how the D400 feels along the coast and through the mountains, and our fleet is weighted heavily toward two pedals. Below are the numbers behind that weighting and the models that carry them.

Why 60 of the 65 cars are automatic

60 cars are automatic and 5 are manual, and the manual ones sit in the lower price bands. The automatic share is not a marketing preference — it follows the route: the climb out of the coastal strip toward the plateau comes with switchbacks, and stop-start traffic through the resort belt is where a clutch wears fastest. Our manual stock is concentrated in the Comfort class, with Fiat Egea Cross at ₺1,937 a day and Hyundai i30 at ₺3,022, plus Peugeot 308 at ₺3,332; most Crossover, SUV and Minivan cars on this page shift themselves. Traffic drives on the right and every car is left-hand drive, so the gearbox is the only thing to re-learn — a driver used to a left-hand-drive manual will find the pedals in the familiar order.

Named models and what each one is for

• Kia XCeed — ₺1,893 a day: the cheapest car on the page, a 1.5 L petrol hatchback with 140 hp, five seats and an automatic — the sensible pick for two people and hand luggage.
• Škoda Octavia — ₺2,794 a day: a 1.5 L petrol liftback with 150 hp, five seats and an automatic; the pick for a family that wants a long car rather than a tall one.
• Dacia Duster — ₺2,677 a day: a 1.5 L diesel SUV with 115 hp, five seats and an automatic — the higher body and torque suit the uphill stretches.
• Toyota Proace Verso — ₺2,240 a day: a 2.0 L diesel minibus with 150 hp, nine seats and an automatic, for groups that want one car instead of two.
• Mercedes-Benz V-Class — ₺7,714 a day: the most expensive on the page, a diesel seven-seater, the top of the Minivans class.

The middle of the range is where most bookings land — Škoda Octavia at ₺2,794 and Dacia Duster at ₺2,677 cover the long drive without the top-tier rate. In our practice, travellers who book a nine-seat minibus for the first time underestimate the length: the Proace Verso and Hyundai Staria at ₺3,982 are full-size minibuses, so check that the address you have agreed for delivery has room to turn and park, and say so when the booking is fixed.

Documents for car rental in Antalya for a trip to Fethiye

The paperwork for car rental in Antalya for a trip to Fethiye is short, and most of it is yours rather than ours: a passport, an entry stamp, a licence and a card. What matters is that the six-month clock on a foreign licence starts at the border, not at the counter, so a long stay changes what you can hand over on the day.

Passport, licence and the six-month rule

• Passport and entry stamp: bring both — the six-month period for a foreign licence is counted from the date you entered the country, and the stamp is what shows it.
• Home driving licence: your national licence is the document that lets you drive; it must be valid for the whole booking, not just the pick-up day.
• International Driving Permit: required if your licence is not in Latin script, so check the script on the card before you travel rather than at the roadside.
• Six-month limit: a foreign licence may be used in Turkey for at most six months from the date of entry, after which it must be exchanged for a Turkish one at any nüfus müdürlüğü.

A foreign licence is valid for driving in Turkey for at most six months from the date of entry; after that it must be exchanged. Bilateral and multilateral agreements can change the picture for some nationalities, so if you are near the six-month mark, settle the exchange before you plan a long drive rather than after.

The card in the main driver's name

A credit card in the main driver's name is required for the security hold. The deposit amount and the insurance excess are not fixed on this page — both are set out in the rental agreement, and the hold is taken against the card of the person named as the main driver, not a companion's. Age and driving-experience requirements rise with the class of car, so a nine-seat minibus is not booked on the same terms as a hatchback: the exact conditions for your group are set out in the rental agreement. On our side, the delivery address, the date and the time are agreed with a manager before the booking is fixed, and Rent-Trip brings the car to any address in the city or to Antalya Airport (AYT) and Gazipaşa-Alanya Airport (GZP). If your group has two drivers, ask about the second one when you book — the documents and any fee for an additional driver are agreed then, not at hand-over.

The drive south on car rental in Antalya for a trip to Fethiye

The run south follows the D400 coastal road, and the practical questions on it are tolls, speed limits and the seasonal tyre rule. Both sub-sections below answer those from the road rules that apply to a private car, not from what a rental desk might tell you at the counter.

Tolls and HGS on the way

There are no toll motorways (otoyol) in the province, so the drive itself carries no motorway gate charge. HGS is the KGM electronic tag used for bridges and motorway gates elsewhere in the country, and it is charged by vehicle class: class 1 means an axle spacing under 3.20 m, which covers an ordinary passenger car. Section tariffs sit in the KGM «Otoyol Ücret Sorgulama» lookup. If a gate is passed without enough balance, topping up the account or registering HGS to the plate within 15 days removes the penalty; after that the crossing fee is multiplied by four. Between days 15 and 45 the charge is the fee plus one further fee («bir kat ceza») instead of four. Outstanding crossings show on kgm.gov.tr under «İhlalli Geçiş Sorgulama» and in e-Devlet. Who pays road charges and any penalty notice on a hired car is agreed when booking — it is not a fixed rule on this page.

Speed limits and winter tyres

• In town: a passenger car (M1) is limited to 50 km/h inside built-up areas, and local signs override the general figure.
• Two-way intercity roads: 90 km/h on undivided carriageways; the D400 south is largely this kind of road once it leaves the built-up strip.
• Divided roads: 110 km/h where the carriageways are separated by a barrier or median.
• Motorways: 130 km/h on KGM motorways and 140 km/h on YİD-built ones, raised for cars by a Ministry of Interior letter of 02.06.2022.
• Winter tyres: compulsory from 15 November to 15 April for vehicles used in intercity passenger and goods transport, including foreign-registered ones; a private car is not named in that list, and the provincial governor (valilik) decides whether to apply the rule inside the province, with the option of shifting the dates by a month either way.

Speed is the item most often misjudged on this stretch: the 50 km/h town limit applies well beyond the last junction, and speeding fines run from 2,000 TL to 30,000 TL under the law.

Longer bookings of car rental in Antalya for a trip to Fethiye

Longer bookings change the arithmetic of car rental in Antalya for a trip to Fethiye: the daily rate stops being the number you compare, and the weekly and monthly figures take over. Rent-Trip sets those rates directly from the daily one, so there is no separate negotiation and no hidden tier.

How weekly and monthly rates are calculated

• Weekly rate: daily rate multiplied by six, so the cheapest car on the page — Kia XCeed at ₺1,893 a day — comes to ₺11,358 for a week.
• Monthly rate: daily rate multiplied by twenty-one, which puts the same Kia at ₺39,753 for a month.
• Where the saving sits: the multiplier is fixed across the fleet, so a nine-seat minibus and a compact hatchback scale the same way.
• What stays outside the calculation: deposit, insurance excess and any delivery fee are set out in the rental agreement, not folded into the weekly or monthly figure.
• Why it matters for a Fethiye trip: a seven-day booking is priced as six days, so the longer you stay the less each individual day costs relative to the daily rate.

Matching the booking length to the drive

The D400 run takes about 2 hours 50 minutes each way without stops, and most of our longer bookings are built around that shape — a car collected in the morning, driven down, parked for several days, then returned. A week is the common length for a single-base stay in Fethiye, and the weekly multiplier is what makes it work: at daily rates the same seven days would cost more than the weekly figure we quote. A month suits travellers who treat the coast as a loop rather than a destination, adding Kaş or Demre (Myra) without paying for a second rental period. In our experience the class that holds up best over a long booking is the one you would pick for comfort on the outbound leg rather than the cheapest on the page — a Crossover such as the Volkswagen Taigo at ₺2,183 a day costs a little more per day but keeps its value over close to six hours behind the wheel there and back. Fuel is the variable that grows fastest with duration: petrol and diesel differ at the pump, so a diesel minibus doing the return leg twice is not automatically the cheaper long-run choice.

What to settle before a long booking

• Return point: the car goes back to the same delivery address at the date and time in the contract; a different return point may carry a fee set out in the rental agreement.
• Fuel: the car is supplied with a full tank and must come back full — the full-to-full rule applies to a month exactly as it does to a weekend.
• Dates: the delivery address, date and time are agreed with a manager before the booking is fixed, and that includes the return slot on a long rental.
• Documents: a foreign licence is valid for driving in Turkey for at most six months from the date of entry, so a booking that runs past that mark needs the licence exchanged at a nüfus müdürlüğü first.

Ask about the return timing when you fix the dates — a long booking is where a mismatched return slot costs the most to correct.

Booking car rental in Antalya for a trip to Fethiye

Rent-Trip works without a counter: the car is brought to the address you name, and every detail of the hand-over is settled with a manager before the booking is fixed. The same applies to a run south and back — the delivery point, the date and the return time are confirmed in writing before anyone gets behind the wheel.

What the manager confirms before the trip is fixed

• Delivery address: any address in the city, Antalya Airport (AYT) or Gazipaşa-Alanya Airport (GZP) — the exact point is agreed when booking.
• Date and time: both ends of the hire are set with a manager, not chosen from a slot list on the site.
• Return point: the car goes back to the same place at the time written in the contract; a different drop-off is arranged case by case.
• Class and model: the class is booked, and the exact model is confirmed with the manager when booking.
• Card and documents: a credit card in the main driver's name is required for the security hold, alongside passport, entry stamp and home licence.

What sits in the rental agreement rather than on this page

The deposit, the insurance excess and any delivery fee are set out in the rental agreement — we do not publish figures for them here, and the manager confirms them before the booking is fixed. The same document carries the mileage terms and the fuel clause: the car leaves with a full tank and comes back full, otherwise the missing fuel and a refuelling service fee are charged as the agreement describes. VAT included pricing and compulsory traffic insurance are standard on every booking. Read the fuel clause first, in our experience — it is the item travellers query most often after the fact.

Booking a longer run and paying for it

Weekly and monthly rates are lower per day than the daily rate, and the arithmetic is fixed: a week is charged at six daily rates and a month at twenty-one, so a fortnight south is priced off the daily figure for the class you pick. Prices on this page run from ₺1,893 to ₺7,714 a day across 65 cars, and the class you book decides where in that band you land. If the dates are still open, tell the manager the route as well as the days — a return to a different point on the coast is arranged case by case and is not promised on the site. Anything about tolls, HGS balance or penalty notices is likewise agreed when booking, never assumed.

Summing up car rental in Antalya for a trip to Fethiye

The hand-over is arranged for wherever you are staying, and the slot is settled with a manager before the booking is locked in. That single arrangement decides more about the Fethiye run than any specification sheet, because the drive starts the moment you have the keys, not the moment you land.

For the route itself, pick the class by what the car has to carry, not by what it costs. Four people with two suitcases fit a Comfort hatchback or saloon; five with a buggy want a Crossover or SUV; a family group of seven to nine needs one of the minibuses, and those are all diesel — the combination that matters over a long day behind the wheel. Sixty of the 65 cars are automatic, so the gearbox is rarely the constraint. What people actually regret is booking the smallest car that technically seats the party.

• Fuel: the car comes with a full tank and must go back full; otherwise the missing fuel and a refuelling service fee are charged as set out in the rental agreement.
• Payment: a credit card in the main driver's name is required for the security hold, and prices already include VAT.
• Time abroad: a foreign licence is valid for driving in Turkey for at most six months from the date of entry.
• Tolls and penalties: who pays road charges, HGS crossings and penalty notices is agreed when booking — it is not a fixed rule.
• Age and experience: the requirements rise with the class of car, so a minibus is not handed to the same driver profile as a hatchback.

Two things we would flag from our own bookings. First, the delivery slot is the part that slips: agree the time before you commit to a ferry or a hotel check-in, because a car handed over at the wrong hour costs you the first afternoon. Second, read the fuel clause and the deposit terms in the rental agreement before you sign anything — those are the two lines travellers query most often, and both are settled at booking rather than at the roadside.

Everything else on this page — the 65 cars, the four classes, the seat counts, the daily, weekly and monthly rates — exists so that the choice can be made in a few minutes and the rest of the trip spent on the D400 rather than on paperwork.
