Before you rent a car in Thailand

Before you rent

Before taking the keys, check the rental conditions carefully. Deposits, insurance excess, mileage, fuel policy and driver requirements can vary between providers.

Check your licence

Make sure your licence and International Driving Permit match the vehicle type.

Photograph the car

Take clear photos before driving away, especially around wheels, bumpers and panels.

Know the deposit

Check deposit, excess, insurance and fuel policy before confirming the booking.

Stay protected

Car rental insurance can be confusing. Before booking, understand what is included, what is excluded, and when cover may not apply.

Insurance excess

Check how much you would pay if the car is damaged.

Medical cover

Travel or health insurance can matter if an accident involves injury.

Legal exclusions

Cover may fail if the driver is unlicensed, intoxicated, or breaking the law.

Car rental insurance Thailand

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.
