Why Hire A Car in Thailand...


For most people, a trip to Thailand is a once in a lifetime experience. Many tourists arrive into the main airport and travel onward via plane to either Phuket in the south or Koh Samui. Why not make the most of this once in a lifetime trip and plan a fly drive holiday?

Spend your fist few nights in downtown Bangkok getting accustomed to the language and culture. Don't let the busy traffic put you off. Once you leave Bangkok the roads are good and there are signs posted in English. Do buy a map before leaving Bangkok as it's difficult to find one outside the city of Bangkok.

Car Hire Thailand Tip: Most car rental companies in Bangkok and other Thailand tourist locations offer free delivery to and collection from your hotel.

Just a few hours drive from Bangkok in a southerly direction is the charming fishing village of Hua Hin , Hua Hin offers a host of spa resorts and golf courses. Don't be surprised to see a few famous people as some spa resorts are very exclusive.

Car Hire Thailand Tip: rental cars are strictly not allowed outside the borders of Thailand and if taken outside all insurance will be null and void.

Spend a few nights in Hua Hin and move further south and visit Koh Samui or Phuket or both. If your rental is over 3 days you can just ask to have your car collected from your final resort is the south of Thailand free of charge.

Car hire Thailand Tip: You may take your rental car on a Ferry to the Islands but this must be arranged with the ferry company and rental company in advance, the ferry company will ask for car registration so you need to book your car rental first.
