Dalaman Airport counters hold between $58 with Sixt and $1,154 with Addcar on your card, and all 13 desks take credit cards only. None of the suppliers accept a debit card for deposits. Filter for your card type on the price checker before comparing offers so you avoid arriving with an unaccepted payment method.
