Tips for hiring a car in Bangkok
Browse helpful tips for hiring a car in Bangkok, Thailand including age restrictions, car type suggestions and more. Tips were last updated on 15 June 2025.
- It’s a great idea to hire a car in Bangkok rather than utilising public transport, as it gives you the freedom to explore the city and beyond without having to rely on bus or train timetables. For instance, if you wanted to visit Pattaya City, you can go there in about 1h 55min by car. This same journey via public transport takes in excess of 3h 30min and requires multiple changes along the way.
- Before you collect up your Bangkok hire car, you should ensure that you’re up to date with the rules of the road. For instance, you must adhere to the speed limits to avoid getting a fine. These are 50 km/h (31 mph) in urban areas, 90 km/h (56 mph) on rural roads and 120 km/h (75 mph) on motorways. If you’re caught over the legal limit of alcohol, which is 0.05% blood alcohol content, you will be prosecuted accordingly. You can use your phone whilst driving, but you must be using a completely hands-free device.
- You need to be at least 21 years of age to hire a car in Bangkok, although some agencies, such as National, will allow 20-year-olds to hire their cars. Normally, you will have to have held your licence for more than one year to access certain car categories, whilst a young person’s surcharge is often included for drivers that are younger than 25 years of age.
- It's normally prohibited for you to take your Bangkok car hire across borders to neighbouring countries, such as Cambodia. This is primarily due to insurance purposes, as your insurance will not be valid if you cross the border. Many car hire agencies do not permit you to take your car on ferries to Thai islands either, so you should ensure you seek clarification from your chosen car hire company regarding this before you embark upon your trip.
- There are many great locations that you can hire a car from in Bangkok. If you’re flying into Bangkok Don Mueang Airport (DMK) you can access agencies such as Budget and Europcar inside the terminal building. Whereas, if you want to hire a vehicle from the centre of Bangkok you will also have many options. One popular agency to hire a car from is Hertz on North Sathorn Road, which is a 10min drive from Bangkok Train Station.

Car hire FAQs
Find answers to frequently asked questions about car hires in Bangkok, Thailand, including policies, requirements, and more. FAQs were last updated on 15 June 2025.
What documents do I need to hire a car in Bangkok?
When you collect your hire car in Bangkok, you must ensure you have your UK driving licence as well as another form of ID, such as your passport. Some car hire agencies will also ask for an international driving licence, so be sure to consult your agency regarding this before you arrive. You can pay for your car hire with most major debit and credit cards, although these must be in the name of the main driver. You can also pay in advance online, which often provides you with better rates. If you do so, you must make sure that the cardholder is present when you collect your vehicle.
Do roads in Bangkok get busy?
Many of Bangkok’s central roads are very busy. Some of the most congested roads include Sirat Expy and Chalerm Maha Nakhon Expy, which both cross through the centre of the city and provide key entry and exit routes from Bangkok. These roads are especially busy during rush hour, when locals are heading to and from work. The busiest times tend to be from 07:30 to 09:30 and from 16:30 to 18:30. If you prefer to avoid roads when they are busy, it’s best to stay clear of rush hour and drive early in the afternoon, as the roads will be less congested. Whilst Bangkok is always a busy city, you will find some side roads can offer respite from the traffic, such as Rama VI Road, which runs next to Sirat Expy.
