From Kappa to Antalya

The process of picking up the car, returning it, and refunding the deposit was very smooth.

The car rental process was very enthusiastic and fairly smooth. However, swapping the car in Izmir was an absolute nightmare. Several phone calls were made, and nobody took responsibility. We couldn't find anyone at all until we finally located someone at the rental desk in the arrivals hall who reluctantly helped us. The car swap location was ridiculously tucked away in the deepest part of the underground of the second parking lot. It was incredibly frustrating.

The staff were very friendly and patient.

The rental service in Antalya is actually provided by Enterprise. The service was great. They told me that for a bit more money, I could get a bigger car. However, since it was just the two of us, we insisted on renting the Clio because it's small and fuel-efficient.

Alamo booking was serviced in Bodrum by Enterprise. The "in terminal" pick-up was a 10 minute walk in the blazing sun with luggage from the International to the Domestic terminal, where a security check was needed to enter the building. Enterprise staff were pleasant and car was ready for collection on arrival at the car park. Credit card was charged with deposit not blocked as expected. Renault Clio 1.2 was fine in town, but lacking in power and struggled with the hills of Turkey's main roads. Return was easy, and got a lift back to the International terminal from the car park.
