Pandora Car Hire is the cheapest company at Bodrum Airport for a Compact car, averaging £29 a day over the last 12 months, but it does not yet have enough reviews for a score. Sixt costs £46 a day from 534 prices and scores 81/100 from 65 reviews. Alamo averages £48 a day across 802 prices. Every counter sits directly at the airport, but you must bring a credit card because all 11 desks refuse debit cards.

The cheapest company can cost you a longer queue or a bigger deposit, so check the review score and desk wait beside each car in the results before you book.

Sixt is the best-reviewed company at Bodrum Airport, scoring 81/100 from 65 reviews with an average desk wait of 20 minutes.

Enterprise averages a 7-minute wait, while Addcar averages 36 minutes.

Review scores are CarTrawler customers' own, from the last five months; the score and the desk wait sit beside each car in the results.

At Bodrum Airport, deposits held on your card range from £43 with Sixt to £685 with Addcar, and none of the 11 companies take a debit card at the desk. Every desk operates on a credit-card-only rule, meaning the card must be in the primary driver's name. Check the car details before you confirm to ensure your credit limit covers the hold. Any optional extras charged at the desk are listed under each car with their price.

If you bring your own child seat, check your airline's rules first: most carry one free, some charge.

The biggest trap at Bodrum Airport is showing up without a credit card in the driver's name, as all 11 desks turn down debit cards. Long counter queues can also stall your arrival, with Addcar averaging 36 minutes to hand over keys. While all rental desks are conveniently inside the terminal, you can still spend longer waiting at Addcar than it takes to drive to the nearest beach.

Only 55% of prices at Bodrum Airport are full tank out, full tank back, so read the fuel line under the car before you book.
