Cheap Drive Car Hire in Bangkok

Most rental companies will require a credit card for the deposit, which is typically frozen in your account. Make sure to inquire about the specific deposit amount and the policy for releasing the freeze.

Car hires from Drive in Bangkok are charged per day. If you rent for more than 24 hours, you will be charged for an additional day, so plan accordingly.

When booking, check if the rental company offers extras such as GPS or child seats. These can enhance your driving experience but may incur additional costs, so it's wise to factor them into your budget.

When hiring a car, especially if you’re arriving in Bangkok by flight, plan for extra time at pickup to accommodate any potential delays. Suppliers like Drive typically offer a grace period of 30-60 minutes. Providing your flight number can be helpful, but if you’re running late, be sure to call the supplier to inform them.

If sharing driving responsibilities, check the policies regarding additional drivers. Some companies charge fees for each extra driver, while others may include it for free under certain conditions.

Ensure that you have a valid driving licence with at least one year of driving experience. If you are a foreign driver travelling to Bangkok, an international driving permit may be required. Remember, hire rates can be higher for drivers under 25 or over 70

Some zones may have driving limitations; make sure you’re aware of them.

Before leaving the rental location, inspect the car for any existing damage and ensure it’s documented. Take photos if necessary to avoid disputes when returning the vehicle.
