What’s the price of car hire in Thailand?
This South Asian country is known not only for its lush tropical landscapes, but many visitors often comment on its affordability. For example, daily rates here might look like this:
- Economy cars: $15-$35 per day
- Mid-range cars: $25-$40 per day
- SUVs and minivans: $35-$45 per day
- Luxury cars: $80+ per day
Car hire in Thailand is two to three times more expensive than the public transport option - a motorcycle. This is a reasonable premium for the comfort and independence you receive, but the budget burden can be minimised if you:
- Confirm your reservation 1-2 weeks in advance
- Look for budget models and plan a long-term hire
- Purchase standard insurance and minimal extras
- Always compare prices before making a final decision.
