TL;DR
Search for rental agencies near your hotel on Google Maps or look in central Bodrum — local companies often require no deposit or prepayment, deliver to your hotel, and accept returns at the airport.
One traveler found a great deal by searching Google Maps for rental agencies near their hotel in Bodrum, checking their websites, and contacting them directly. The result: no deposit, no prepayment, car delivered to the hotel and returned at the airport — at a fair price.
A group of five travelers with luggage rented a car for a one-way trip from Antalya to Bodrum. No hidden fees, no deposit required. Staff helped with luggage at drop-off and provided a ride to the airport — a smooth, stress-free experience.
Many rental services promoted in expat chats require full prepayment or large deposits. If you're already in Turkey and want to pay in person, it's better to find local Bodrum agencies directly rather than relying on chat recommendations.
