May I ask the hotel owner that now he cannot help guests to book hot air balloon, only guests can try to book by themselves. I want to fly around Aug 1st, do I need to book in advance? How did everyone book theirs ? Turkey Q&A
Many guides say that Huaxia Bank's cards do not charge fees for foreign currency withdrawals, but when I went to handle it, I was told that the fees for ordinary cards would be charged from January 1st of this year, while the fees for platinum and diamond cards would not be charged. Has anyone tried this year ? Turkey Q&A
Hello everyone, my friend and I are planning to drive on the D400 highway (Fethiye-Antalya) from April 2nd to April 3rd. My friend was born on September 24, 1993, so technically he is not yet 25 years old. Will the car rental companies in Fethiye rent us a car ? Turkey Q&A
Hello everyone, I would like to ask you, when you rent a car, does the car rental company charge the deposit by pre-authorization or direct deduction, and when is the refund? I was charged directly, and the inspection staff said the deposit would be refunded within 3 days when returning the car, but it has not been refunded so far ? Turkey Q&A
Okay, got it. Thank you dear~ I saw someone in the post say that driving on icy roads in Turkey is not safe in the winter, but I feel like the coastal cities don't have temperatures below zero ? Turkey Q&A
Tonight I will start a Road trip to Izmir. I plan to stay in Cesme on the first day and visit Alacati and Ephesus on the second day. How about staying in Cotton Castle? I haven't booked a hotel for the second night yet. Is my itinerary suitable? Friends who have been there before ? Turkey Q&A
Excuse me, are the checks on long-distance bus travel in Turkey strict? Will they check passports? I found someone online to buy tickets, but one letter was wrong in the name. The boss said it was not a big problem, and I want to verify it ? Turkey Q&A
Hello everyone, I would like to inquire about the trip. The itinerary has been finalized and the car rental order has been confirmed. The main driver is unable to use their own credit card for pre-authorization. Is there any other way to pre-authorize, such as using a debit card, cash, or someone else's credit card ? Turkey Q&A
Maybe they think that when you rent a car, you should know that some rental areas do not have toll roads. The staff will assume that you will not drive far and will not tell you which toll road to take. The inside of the fuel tank lid will indicate what kind of fuel to add. The car manual is also in the car. If you forget to ask, you can read it yourself. If you don't understand, you can call or ask the people around you who you can ask. Don't think that everything will be taken care of properly. After all, this is in someone else's country. If you choose to travel freely, you must have a certain ability to cope with setbacks ? Turkey Q&A
I heard that you can charter a boat to see the sunken city, but I don't know the details. The place I'm staying at said it's about 500 lira, but I don't know how long the trip is. I only want to spend half a day and then go to Antalya. But all the itineraries I've found from Kas are from 9am to 6pm ? Turkey Q&A
When the accident happened, my companion and I had a big argument. I blamed her for driving recklessly and being too calculating about fuel consumption, while she blamed me for not understanding how hard it is to drive. However, I calmed down after five minutes and called the customer service calmly to inquire about the claims process, and specifically asked about the white slip issue. All of these actions proved to be effective in the end ? Turkey Q&A
The only thing that scares me now is returning the car in Kastamonu. My English is not good, so I have to call in advance. I suddenly came up with a trick: when I arrive at the 10th intersection outside the airport, let the local people help me make a phone call and inform the location. Then wait for the staff to come and pick up the car. Is it feasible ? Turkey Q&A
All deposits are pre-authorized and will not be actually charged, so you can unfreeze it yourself after a month. Your credit card statement may not show this, so you can call the credit card center to check if the money is still there. If not, it means it has already been unfrozen ? Turkey Q&A
One more thing I want to ask everyone, I only use the car for six days, the plane at 6:30 pm, on time or 1:00 pm, I'm afraid of being fined for exceeding time and charging one more day's money, so I rented it for seven days (there is a discount for seven days), and I feel it's not worth it. What good suggestions do you have for those who have been there ? Turkey Q&A
Dear friends who are renting a car, I want to remind you to check the exterior of the car for any scratches or dents when you pick it up. If you find any, make sure to inform the staff and make a note of it. This is a small matter. However, it is more important to pay attention to the brake pads and tire pressure, especially if you are driving for thousands of kilometers. We rented a car from AVIS and shortly after driving it, the warning light came on due to low tire pressure. Later, when driving on mountain roads in Cotton Castle and Cappadocia, we found that the brake pads were severely worn, and we had to be careful not to press the brake for too long. This is a safety issue that should not be overlooked. It's best to ask the rental company to check these things when you pick up the car. Please pay attention to safety ? Turkey Q&A
