In Thailand there are many Car Hire Companies, all the main International Car Hire Companies have car for hire available in Thailand. There are also many local Car Rental Companies. In Thailand in is possible to hire both Chauffeur-driven and Self -drive Hire cars. Within the Bangkok area we would highly recommend that the visitor takes advantage of one of the car hire companies that offer chauffeur services. Prices for chauffeur driven hire cars are offered surprisingly good value that they are well worth considering even in the less hectic parts of the country.
To hire a self-drive car in Thailand one would need a current driving licence from ones home country. It is a good Idea to apply for an International driving licence before leaving for Thailand. It is a legal requirement for overseas nationals living and driving in Thailand to obtain a Thai Driving licence.
In the popular tourist area as well as is Bangkok there are many small local car hire firms it is very important to ensure that you are receiving full comprehensive insurance before hiring the car. If you are in any doubt about the level of cover then we would highly recommend that you go to a car hire company that you are certain can offer the correct cover.
As we have said all the well known international car rental companies are represented in Thailand. Avis (www.avis.com), Budget (www.budget.com), National (www.national.com), Europcar (www.europcar.com) and Thrifty (www.thrifty.com) to mention but a few. These and other rental companies are able to pre-booked your hire car before leaving on your visit to Thailand.
