Kemer arose on the site of a small Turkish village located near the Taurus Mountains, and the name is translated from Turkish as "belt". The villagers were forced to build a wall encircling the mountain in order to save their homes from regularly descending mudflows, and this wall gave the city its name.
By the last decade of the 20th century, the city gradually turned into one of the resort towns of the Turkish Riviera. The city has a mild Mediterranean climate, and the salty smells of the sea mix with notes of citrus groves and aromas of numerous islands of coniferous trees.

Book in advance
Kemer is now in ever-increasing demand, which affects the high demand for car rental. By booking online, you can avoid any unpleasant surprises after you arrive at your destination. Both with the car itself and with its rent.
It is better to book a car at least one and a half months before the trip. As the required date approaches, the number of available offers is reduced, and the cost of the remaining models increases. If plans change and the trip is postponed, then you can cancel the rental without any sanctions 2 days before it starts.
Which car to choose
Tourists who expect to drive only around the city and its immediate surroundings prefer to rent compact cars, Fiat Panda or Ford Fiesta. For trips to the mountains, you need a car with increased power. You should go on such a trip with a full tank, as fuel consumption in the mountains increases one and a half to two times. An all-wheel drive crossover would be the ideal car for this. Renting VW Passat Estate in Kemer will cost €35 per day.

The rental agreement must include a telephone number to contact the rental company.
