The car was too old, but everything else was fine: 1. The bumper had been hit and was fixed with wire, making noise at high speeds which was worrying for safety; 2. The windows occasionally malfunctioned and required manually adjusting the rubber strip holding the glass.

The staff deliberately arrived two hours late when returning the car, which delayed the return process. Today, I checked the bill and saw that an extra day's rental fee of $500 was deducted from my deposit.

Budget truly lives up to its reputation as a global brand. They are everywhere and clearly marked. The service is very professional, and they don't push you to buy additional insurance. The pickup and drop-off processes were very efficient, and the deposit was returned on the fourth day after returning the car. Great!

Antalya Airport is small. Budget is on the right side as you exit the hall. There were about four or five people in line. Other companies had no business. It was relatively quick, but could be faster.

Antalya Airport has two terminals, one for domestic flights and the other for international. Apparently, we first went to the domestic terminal and found the window closed. There was a phone on the counter, and we had to call twice to get in touch with someone to pick us up. Eventually, we found out that the office was in the other terminal, which wasn't too far away. The rental process was quick; we provided our documents, signed the papers, and soon enough, we were in the parking lot getting our car. We had booked a BMW 5 series but got an X3 instead, which they said was in the same vehicle group. The X3 was a Middle Eastern version, almost the size of an X5 in our country. As our trip went on, we were grateful for having an SUV; it handled some roads much better.
