Hiring a car at Dalaman Airport

What this means for your booking

• A month is not four times a week. The median week here is €330 and the median month €1264 — better per day, but 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 23% 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 328 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:

• Meet & Greet 50%
• In terminal 29%
• Free shuttle service 15%
• Car rental center 6%

29 suppliers appeared here across our searches, at several separate pick-up points. See which is nearest you and what each costs.

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 71% · average deposit 26% · no deposit 6% · high deposit 1%.

What each supplier actually costs here

29 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. Hello Car Rental holds €1,000 on the main driver's card against GreenMotion's €63. 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.
