The highly requested detailed guide for a self-drive car rental on Turkey's D400 highway
The promised guide for a self-drive on Turkey's D400 is here❗️
I enjoyed the beautiful scenery along the D400 in the past few days, the Mediterranean is just too beautiful!
Many people asked for car rental tips and things to note for self-driving⚠️
👇I'll share the details in this guide, I suggest reading and memorizing the whole text❗️
1️⃣Car Rental
🔸I booked online in advance, you can use any domestic platform
🔸Passport, domestic driver's license, translated driver's license, foreign currency credit card
🔸Manual transmission is cheaper, returning the car in a different location is more expensive, we paid 550 (including insurance) for 3 days💰
2️⃣Pick-up and Return
🔸The distance from Antalya to Fethiye is not far, we chose Antalya Airport for pick-up and return, saving about ¥1000 on the fee for returning the car elsewhere
🔸When picking up the car, check the fuel level, take a video of the car body, and confirm the condition of the car
🔸When returning the car, refill the fuel to the same level, and hand over the car after confirming there are no issues on the spot
🔸The car rental company offers a 🆓 ride to the airport
3️⃣Parking and Refueling
🔸Most of the attractions along the D400 offer free parking
🔸Search for 'otopark' for parking lots
🔸There are many gas stations, our total fuel cost was 400💰
🔸Full-service refueling, cash and credit cards are both accepted🉑, and they even clean your car for free
4️⃣Driving Safety
🔸Common signs are seen
🔸No right turn on red❗️This is different from domestic rules
🔸There are many bends on the mountain roads from Ölüdeniz to Kaş, and Antalya is prone to traffic jams due to heavy traffic

Butterfly Valley in Öludeniz, Fethiye
this is my favorite place in Fethiye, Turkey. It’s easy to go there by bus from Öludeniz, take the bus from the beach just 18TL. Bus depart every 30 min.

Many girls have some girllike feelings in the butterfly valley of Fethiye in Turkey. After all, her name "Butterfly Valley" is really a picture. Every girl always has a princess dream.
There are two options for the Butterfly Valley. One is to take a boat at the Dead Sea port called Oludeniz. We certainly chose the second one: take the Lycian Way, which is the world's top ten long-distance hiking route. One, the full length of 500 kilometers...
It took us four hours to finally reach the other side of the mountain. We had a short ride in the middle of the road due to the sunset. Really worth it!
Finally, share it with you, a large piece of dog food that was stuffed in our road~
