Find the right rental for your Thailand journey
Choose between car rental for airport pick-ups, road trips and family travel, or bike rental for local freedom in Thailand’s major tourist areas.
Car rental will connect into affiliate booking partners. Bike rental will become JLIT’s local rental marketplace across Thailand.
Your rental is only the start of the journey.
JLIT now connects the vehicle to the rest of the trip. Car drivers can open the interactive Thailand Explorer and build a multi-stop road journey. Bike riders can jump into Motorbike Thailand, choose from 72 ready-built rides, and launch a selected route straight into the interactive map with the route, itinerary and hotel stops already populated.
Before you rent in Thailand
Renting a car or bike in Thailand can be simple, but visitors need to understand the basics before they ride or drive.
JLIT will guide users through licence requirements, International Driving Permits, helmet rules, insurance issues, deposits, police checkpoints and accident risks.
Correct licence
Users need the right licence for the vehicle they rent.
Helmet and road rules
Riding without protection can create serious legal and insurance problems.
Check insurance
Cover may fail if the rider is unlicensed, drunk, or breaking the law.
Explore by region
Bike rental demand is strongest in Thailand’s main tourist areas. JLIT will build this city by city, starting with the biggest rental markets.
Stay protected
Insurance matters. A cheap rental can become very expensive if the user is not properly covered.
This section will connect visitors to travel insurance, medical cover, personal accident protection and future vehicle insurance partners.
Travel insurance
Cover for trips, delays, emergencies and medical events.
Medical cover
Important for anyone riding or driving in Thailand.
Vehicle risk
Understand exclusions before taking the keys.
Make sure the trip is covered.
Vehicle cover and personal travel cover are different things. Check the policy terms, licence requirements and exclusions that apply to the way you will actually drive or ride.

Once users have found transport, they can continue planning the rest of their Thailand journey from here.
