Fuel Overview: Gasoline in Turkey is about 5 new lira per liter, while diesel is slightly cheaper. Gas stations mainly offer manual refueling and accept cash and credit card payments. Local refueling terms: Gas station: Benzin istasyonu Gasoline: Benzin or Gazolin Diesel: Motorin or Dizel yakıtı How to distinguish between diesel and gasoline: When renting a car, please confirm the fuel type with the staff, and there are also obvious markings on the fuel tank cap. To be safe, always emphasize the fuel type to the refueling staff each time. Instructions for using the refueling machine: There are staff to help refuel, and after refueling, you can go to make payment, just like in your home country. Most gas stations accept credit cards. Refueling precautions: Turkey has a large number of gas stations, so there is no need to worry about running out of fuel. However, fuel prices in Turkey are relatively high, compared to domestic prices, and vary depending on the company. Refueling is all done manually. The service at Turkish gas stations is also very good. Gas stations generally have restaurants, supermarkets, and toilets, and some even have free self-service car washes, self-service tire pressure gauges, and self-service vacuum cleaners. Recommended local gas stations: Because of fierce competition, gas stations are making great efforts to provide better services: Opet offers free Turkish tea, Shell provides mineral water and tissues, and PO has staff to clean your windows. Overall, Opet has better software and hardware facilities, and is highly recommended.

Dear friends, have you encountered such a situation? Yesterday I picked up the car and didn't ask for a deposit. The fuel tank of the car was half full of oil. When I asked him how it was half full, he said it was okay to return half of the fuel when returning the car, because he couldn't communicate in English. So I drove away without paying the deposit.
