Car hire in Fethiye works across two distinct markets at the same time. One is the classic package holiday crowd — UK charter flights into Ölüdeniz or Hisarönü for a week. The other is the established British expat community in Çalış, Hisarönü and Ovacık, many of whom stay for months at a time. That’s why Fethiye runs all year round, unlike many other resorts on the coast.
“Fethiye has two clear demand patterns: the summer UK charter for 7–10 days and the year-round expat stay of one to three months. Local operators have long been set up to serve both.”
DLM (Dalaman) is 50 km / 50 minutes from the centre via the D555 and D400 — the main airport for the area. Ölüdeniz is just 15 km away (20–25 minutes), Hisarönü 12 km, and Çalış Beach only 4 km from the centre.
“The UK audience here already knows about icarhireinsurance.com, asks about monthly rates for wintering in Çalış, and doesn’t need the Lycian Way explained.”
“The pleasant surprise for first-time visitors is that Fethiye is the perfect launchpad for the Lycian Way. Seven relaxed days down to Antalya on the D400 is one of the standout drives in Turkey.”
Fethiye is compact, and the main attractions sit comfortably within a 100 km radius.
Ölüdeniz and Babadağ
Ölüdeniz is 15 km away. Belcekiz Beach and the Blue Lagoon remain the headline sight. Parking along the beach is ₺50–100 per day and fills up by 10 a.m. in summer — many people leave the car in Hisarönü and take the dolmuş down. Babadağ (1,969 m) is cable-car only.
“Paragliding off Babadağ is the big activity on this stretch of coast. You don’t need a car for the mountain itself — operators collect you from a base in Ölüdeniz and the cable car takes you the rest of the way.”
Saklıkent and Tlos
Saklıkent (50 km / 45–60 minutes) is a dramatic canyon with a cold mountain river you can walk through in neoprene. Tlos lies 15 km further on — an ancient city with rock-cut tombs. Morning in the canyon, lunch on the wooden platforms above the water, then Tlos in the afternoon.
“Saklıkent and Tlos in one day is one of the best outings from Fethiye. No organised tour manages both comfortably — with your own car you can take your time and stop for photos.”
Butterfly Valley and Faralya
Butterfly Valley itself isn’t reachable by car. The options are a boat from Ölüdeniz (₺200–300 return, 45 minutes) or a steep walk down from Faralya. Any car can manage the road to Faralya. The final 2 km to Kabak is a dirt track, and most rental contracts forbid it.
“UK visitors often try to drive right down to Kabak. Those last two kilometres of unmade road usually end with an off-road charge. Park in the village above and walk down instead.”

everything went well. I chose a car and conditions, booked on the site, paid with a card of the world, which is very convenient. I was met at the airport with a sign and everything was quickly formalized. The car is good enough for its age. The lessor was in touch with me on WhatsApp, the return was very fast and without problems. Atakan was a pleasure to work with, I recommend him and your site.

Everything went great! The car is new, with a lot of useful options (camera, parktronic, speed limiter, etc.). Met at the airport and also met at the time of handing over the car. Atakan was in touch all the time. Thank you. I liked everything

Thank you very much for the service, everything went great. The car was delivered to the airport, on the way back in the departure area an employee picked up the car. The registration took minimum time, the deposit was returned without any problems. The car was in good technical condition, I would recommend the service to my friends.

On renting a car. Used a Hyundai i20 rental and want to thank you for the clarity in time. Did not have to wait anywhere for the renter. Told/displayed everything. Showed maximum involvement on the first day of the car drop off. We were 3 adults and a child. Suitcases as a magician all laid out as neatly and quickly as possible. Very helpful. There were no complaints during the rental. There was 1 moment, but quickly got an answer. Also on the day the car was returned, the deposit was returned/car was given back. Everything was clear and to the point. I would love to return to your services in the future 👍🏻

We enjoyed a hassle free trip, thank you ☺️ I recommend to everyone for price 💲 and quality 👍
Citroen C-Elysee in Turkey
God forbid. It's the first and last time I'll be with you. First of all, the car was different, but that's okay. Secondly, the driver was late, that's okay too. He didn't understand a word of Russian or English. Called someone to pass the phone. They refused to take the deposit from the card. Said that they will return a month or longer. Divorced on 100 dollars for full insurance. And still took a $300 cash deposit. Then the voice in the phone asked me to take the driver to the bus stop. The driver got behind the wheel and drove 9 km to the city center where it was convenient for him. There he left me in shorts, without a T-shirt and without a clue how to return to the hotel. I had to take a cab and follow the cab driver. On my return, the receiver immediately went under the car, that there was some damage. UNDER THE CAR!!!!!!! I've taken cars in over 40 countries. This is the first time this has happened. I hope it's the last time

Everything went well. The chosen car was out of stock, we were warned about it and replaced it with a Renault Tailant. I was met at the airport with a sign and escorted to the car. The documents were filled out quickly. The price did not change. We took a deposit. The car is clean and in good condition. When we handed it over at the specified time, everything went quickly. The car was inspected and the deposit was returned. No questions asked

Instead of a Hyundai we were given a Renault, which was fine. The car is certainly not a Mercedes or even a Skoda, but it was better than a cab or a bus. Convenient meeting at the airport all clearly according to the contract without deceit and so on all questions answered phone to connect helped! A huge disadvantage is to give a car with an empty tank such a self and in people in a foreign country (especially knowing the French car industry when the light bulb is on gas can run out in 5 km, it is not a German on which another 50-60 km can be driven around the city before it will stand up). Even knowing the local climate you can give some thing like foil to close the windshield could be like the locals because at 45⁰ under the sun the steering wheel can not be taken)). You can also put a phone charger from the cigarette lighter. You rent cars to Russians. These mini things are already thought out in all countries. Look how bikes are rented by owners from the CIS with a charger with a cover on the seat that did not get warm in the sun with raincoats with helmets, etc. It's all extra comfort. Add this raise the price a bit to cover it and all cis customers are yours! Plus booking payment via rf card is of course a huge plus. Only because of the fact that large companies that have a car class higher ask for a credit card visa or master, which is difficult to formalize now in Russia, we chose you. A regular card is not enough for everyone. I give it a 3+ out of 5. Only for the empty tank was a real problem. If it wasn't for that then 4+. I hope it was a one time accident at your place

Everything was great with the rental. The car was in perfect condition. The only thing is that we specified that we had to hand it over at 21:00, in the end the car was picked up only at 22:30 approximately.

Everything went great, the staff was friendly and handed over the car on time. The car was brand new and I was a first time renter. I tried to handle it as carefully as possible. The meeting at the time of returning the car was also excellent, the deposit was returned. I am very satisfied and will recommend your service! Thank you!

All good Thank you
Fethiye is one of the best starting points for one of the finest coastal road trips in Turkey. It’s roughly 300 km to Antalya along the D400, normally spread over 5–7 days with stops. One-way drop-off at AYT costs €100–180.
“The D400 between Kalkan and Kemer is widely regarded as one of the great coastal drives in the world. With relaxed stops at Patara and the sunset terraces of Kalkan, it really is the best road trip Turkey has to offer.”
A typical week looks like this: Fethiye → Patara (75 km — Roman city and an 18 km undeveloped beach) → Kalkan (boutique hotels and sunset terraces) → Kaş (Greek islands on the horizon) → Demre (St Nicholas’s Church and the Lycian rock tombs of Myra) → Olympos (the eternal flames of the Chimaera) → Antalya (Kaleiçi old town).
“Patara is the underrated stop. A vast beach with no development, an ancient city right beside it, and free entry. A full day there is non-negotiable.”
For the route, a compact or mid-range car with an automatic is ideal. The D400 west of Kemer has plenty of switchbacks, long climbs and hairpin bends — a manual can tire the clutch leg in the Taurus mountains. The most demanding sections are Kalkan–Kaş and Kaş–Demre.
“The single best piece of advice for the Lycian Way from Fethiye: take an automatic and don’t rush. Seven days is the sweet spot — shorter feels like a race, longer and you tire of repacking every other evening.”
