On April 23, my husband and I were planning on renting car in Kayeseri after flying in from Istanbul. Spend 4 nights and drive southwest to Antalya then work way up to Selcuk , drop car off airport at Izmir and fly back to Istanbul. I will have 15 days plus 2 separate days for flying, 17 in all. Someone is trying to suggest I rent car for time in Cappadocia then fly to Antalya, rent car , return it there and fly to Izmir , rent car for that area drop it back at Izmir and fly to Istanbul. The reason given is that this would be cheaper than paying for all the fuel when renting a car and driving distances in between. Is this a realistic suggestion. We are in our late fifties and ease is important.
Rent car or fly doing circuit from Cappadocia southwest Antalya to Izmir

Generally short term rentals are more expensive on a per day basis than longer term rentals, especially if they are less than a week. For you to judge if a rental for the entire time is better than a split rental with a plane fare in between. We used http://www.economycarrentals.com/ as the broker to rent the car in Turkey.
The cost of the fuel becomes insignificant considering all that you will see en route.
That is, especially if you take the Nevsehir-Nigde-Mersin-Silifke-Anamur-Antalya route with all the natural and historic sites along the way instead of the Konya route.
