Before leaving the rental lot, check if the vehicle has essential emergency supplies, such as a spare tire, jack, and first aid kit.

If you plan to share driving, check if the rental company allows a second driver and whether there are additional fees. Some companies offer free second driver options under certain conditions.

If you have a specific vehicle model in mind, consider rentals that guarantee the car type you want. This avoids surprises at pickup when you receive an alternative vehicle.

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

Research any toll roads on your travel route and understand the payment options. Some rental companies provide toll transponders for convenience.

Familiarize yourself with the fuel policy for your rental. A 'Full-to-Full' policy means returning the car with a full tank, while 'Same-to-Same' indicates you return it at the same fuel level. Full-to-Full is usually more economical.

Ensure your rental agreement, ID, and insurance details are easily accessible throughout your rental period for quick access if needed.

Understanding your insurance options is essential when renting a vehicle. Choose coverage like Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) to safeguard your finances in case of an incident. Always confirm the required protection with the rental company.
