The daily rental fee
and Collision
Damage Waiver (CDW) are the costs
we look most closely at, but other
fees and taxes can increase the cost
of car rental substantially. Keep
these in mind:
Additional
Insurance
Besides CDW there's PAI, LFC and Theft. More....
Additional Driver
You may have to pay a fee of around YTL6 for an additional
driver to be listed on the insurance documents.
Child Safety Seat
The larger rental companies should have these available
at an additional fee (perhaps as much as YTL15
per day. Reserve yours in advance just to be sure.
Delivery Fee
If you do not pick up your car from a company office
(or within the immediate area, such as at a hotel
in the town or city), you may have to pay a delivery
fee of around YTL0.60 per kilometer (YTL0.70 per
mile) for the distance from the company office
to the point of pick-up. This can add up to a substantial
charge.
Transfer/Return Fee
If you do not return the car to the company office
from which you rented it, you may have to pay a
transfer/return fee (often around YTL100) for someone
to come to where you are and drive the car back
to the originating office.
The most expensive car rental companies
may not ask for a transfer/return fee,
but it may still end up being cheaper
to rent the car from a smaller company
at a lower rate and to pay the transfer
fee. Do the math!
Also, consider the cost
of fuel when deciding whether
to rent- here, return-there. It may
actually be cheaper to
pay the transfer/return fee rather
than to drive the car back yourself
when you consider the cost of fuel,
and rental and insurance charges
for the time it takes you to drive
the car back.
