Depending on your flight, you’ll be greeted at the arrivals exit with a name board. During peak hours, a short walk to a designated meeting spot may be required to avoid congestion.

To avoid blocking traffic, handover often takes place at the short-stay parking (2–5 minutes on foot). Your agent will share the exact location via message—don’t forget to request a pin drop.

Pro tip: Add your flight code to the booking. Delays/early arrivals will be tracked automatically so your Dalaman rent a car pickup runs without waiting.

Night pickups & flight number

For late-night/early-morning arrivals, operations are synchronized with your flight code. You’ll be met at the exit or short-stay parking. Sign and inspection steps are completed in a well-lit area. Since only a few gas stations are open at night, note the current fuel level during handover.

Return scenarios (same / different location)

A) Return at the Same Point

Returning to the pickup point is fastest and often the most economical. Follow the “full-to-full” fuel policy and the mileage conditions defined in your contract.

B) Return at a Different Point

If you want to pick up at Dalaman and return in Fethiye center, inform us in advance. A different-drop fee may apply; leave an extra 20–30 minutes buffer for traffic.
