Hiring a car at Bodrum Airport

What this means for your booking

• The cheapest sticker is usually not the cheapest car. With 84% of suppliers charging about €61 for a second driver, two cars advertised a few euro apart can be €61 apart by the time you drive away. We put that fee into every price the moment you say you need one.
• A month is not four times a week. The median week here is €373 and the median month €1492 — worse per day, which is why back-to-back rentals often beat one long booking on hires of 40 days or more.
• Airport or town desk? We have not measured which is cheaper yet, so we won't guess. We are measuring it now and will publish the numbers. See every pick-up point here.

Getting to the car

If you land late. Only 16% of the suppliers we priced shut by 22:00, and the typical desk closes at 00:00 — a late arrival is less risky here than at most airports. Measured across 226 offers that publish their desk hours; a supplier that does not publish them is not counted as open.

Not every supplier here hands you the keys in the terminal. Across 4 searches, this is how collection splits:

• In terminal 58%
• Meet & Greet 22%
• Free shuttle service 16%
• Rental office 12%

Most suppliers here are in the terminal, so collection is usually quick.

The fine print, measured

These conditions vary more between airports than most people expect. We measure each of them everywhere we sweep: deposits · debit cards · second-driver fees · desk hours.

Deposit banding, as the suppliers classify it themselves: low deposit 74% · average deposit 24% · no deposit 1% · high deposit 1%.

What each supplier actually costs here

21 suppliers appeared in our searches. These are the ones you are most likely to be offered — chosen by how often they came up, then ordered by what they really cost, which is rarely the same order as the advertised price.

Prices are for a one-week hire. Mixing rental lengths would make the column meaningless — a fee charged once per rental is a very different share of a week than of a month — so this table is built from week-long searches only.

Deposits vary far more than prices. AddCar holds €800 on the main driver's card against Gri Rent A Car's €75. It is released after you return the car, but it has to fit.

"With 2nd driver" is the advertised rental plus that supplier's additional-driver fee — our definition of the total, and the only one we rank on. Full cover is quoted separately and never added in: many travellers hold annual excess insurance or rely on a card, and folding in an assumed purchase is precisely the trick this site exists to expose. Medians across 4 searches; a supplier that does not publish a fee is not counted as free. How we measure this.
