How to Save Money on Car Hire at Bangkok International Airport: Expert Tips
Shop around: It’s always best to compare suppliers against each other to see where you can get the very best deal.
Smaller means cheaper (usually): Smaller cars are cheaper than larger ones most of the time – if you do not need a large vehicle and want to save money, opt for a smaller car.
Explore local rental options: Local suppliers – who will likely be based outside of Suvarnabhumi Airport – may offer you better prices than those within the airport.
Long-term rentals: The cost of renting a car per week is generally cheaper than renting it by day.
Choose reliable providers: Find a company with positive past customer experiences by browsing online reviews.
Compare insurance plans: Alternative insurance options outside of those offered by the rental agency are likely to be much cheaper.
How to Navigate the Car Hire Pick-Up and Drop-Off Process at Bangkok International Airport
Once you have selected your chosen supplier, head over to the car rental desks in Suvarnabhumi Airport. These can be found on the second floor of the Arrivals Hall in the main terminal. Next, you will need to present the relevant ID and documentation, and if a security deposit is required, this is when you will need to pay it. Before driving away, you should carefully check the vehicle over for any signs of damage (both inside and out), and take photographic evidence of any damages.
Dropping the car back off is just as simple. Some companies allow you to undertake a one-way rental, which means that you can drop it off at an alternative location – this is ideal for plane-hoppers. Go to the agreed drop-off point, and formally end the agreement by signing documents provided by the company representative who will meet you there. This is also when you will receive your money back from your deposit (if you paid one) if the vehicle has been returned in the same condition that you hired it in.
How to Drive from Bangkok International Airport to Bangkok
