Early Bookings Help Travelers Save 46% on Car Rentals in Turkiye

Data shows that 25% of all car rental bookings for Eid al-Adha in Turkiye were made just within the last seven days before the holiday. Travelers who secured their rentals in advance paid significantly less. On average, early birds saved about 46% compared to those who booked at the last minute.

For example, while last-minute renters paid around 1,460 TRY (about USD 45) per day, early planners paid closer to 1,000 TRY (around USD 30) per day. As the holiday approached, prices continued to climb, making same-day and on-holiday rentals the most expensive.
