Look no further than Rentalcars.com whenever you need a cheap car hire deal in Bangkok. To bring you fantastic prices, we negotiate with all the major rental companies in the Thai capital — including Thai Rent a Car, Hertz and Avis. Don’t forget: with our Best Price Guarantee, if you find the same car with the same supplier cheaper elsewhere, we will beat the quote. With simple search tools, upfront information and a choice of pick-up points (including Suvarnabhumi Airport and various downtown locations), we make it easy to rent a car in Bangkok.
Many brands (such as Sixt, National Hertz and Avis) often include at least one additional driver in the rental price — saving you money if you intend to split the driving with someone else. Any offers will be clearly stated next to the relevant listing. We also ask each customer to rate and review the company who supplied their car, so you can see how each brand compares in terms of value for money. Their feedback will be invaluable when you are deciding which company to hire with.
Amphawa Floating Market: Situated approximately 90 kilometres from Bangkok, the picturesque location of Amphawa is home to a quaint floating market and a small community of cafés, restaurants and wooden shop-houses selling souvenirs, books and Thai sweets. The sights, smells and sounds here are an explosion on the senses, as vendor boats serve-up delicious bowls of noodles, rice porridge, grilled squid and river prawns.
