Booking
5 questionsHow do I book?
Send a request on the booking page, message us on LINE or call +66 90 888 33 84
Just tell us your pick-up date and time, return date and time, where you want the car (airport or hotel delivery) and the model or type you have in mind. We check which cars are free and send you the price.
Do I pay booking money? How much?
Yes: ฿500–5,000 by bank transfer confirms your booking.
We send our bank details only through our own LINE account, never through any other channel. If someone sends you bank details in our name any other way, do not transfer; ask us first.
What is the minimum rental, and how are days counted?
The minimum is 1 day, and 1 day is 24 hours from the time you collect the car: pick up at 10:00 and you can return by 10:00 the next day.
You have 29 minutes' grace; after that an extra day is charged.
Are the cars automatic? Do they have a reversing camera?
Every car is automatic and has a reversing camera. See the models and prices on Cars & prices.
Can I hire a car with a driver?
No. We rent self-drive cars only.
Documents & drivers
4 questionsWhich documents do I need at pick-up?

Copies, photos and app licences are not accepted.
How old must the driver be?
Anyone from 25 up to 65 whose licence is at least 1 year old.
Can I use a foreign driving licence?
Yes. A licence in English is fine on its own. A licence in any other language needs an International Driving Permit (IDP) together with the original licence.
Can someone else drive too?
Yes. Give us the extra driver's name and show their original licence at pick-up. Anyone not named on the contract is not covered by the insurance.
