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.

Tips for hiring a car in Bangkok

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.

It was completely satisfactory. I was happy all round and did not think to myself this or that could have been better. I especially liked the girls at the counter, they were extremely helpful.

Mediocre|Feb 2023

Car was very old, over 100,000 km. Also they took a $350 deposit on credit card and they say it takes a month to get back which is unheard of from any oher rental company.
