Top Tips for Hiring a Van in Bangkok
- Bangkok van rentals are an excellent option for travelers who would want to enjoy the various destinations and attractions located in the city. The van rentals will allow you to access the remote sites that are not accessible by public transport. With the van rentals, you can visit the Phra Narai Ratchaniwet and Lopburi located about 73 mi from the city. You will also be able to visit the Khao Yai National park located about 70 mi to the Northeast of the city and the floating market, about 72 mi to the southeast of the city.
- Don Mueang International (DMK) Airport is the closest airport to Bangkok, about 12.5 miles from the city center. The airport has a single terminal building with van rentals counters. The van rentals companies available here are Sixt, Avis, Budget, Dollar and Europcar. Suvarnabhumi (BKK) International Airport is a convenient and popular car hire choice. It provides van rentals services at counters: Avis, Budget, Europcar, Hertz, Nakhon and Bizvan rentals and THAIRENTACAR.
- The best way to get around Bangkok is through surface-level roads, which are wide and well maintained and have less traffic than city streets. You can go anywhere in Bangkok if you have a valid license and an International Drivers Permit (IDP) to drive in Thailand. When driving here, never assume the motorbike rider will slow down or pull over for you if you want to make a turn or if you want to park.
- The biggest problem with driving Bangkok van rentals is the road rules. People drive how they want. No one will stop at red lights and such until they want to go. The traffic here can be a nightmare, especially since the locals have no respect for the laws of traffic flow and many people seem to have no concept of speed limits. Some roads are chaotic due to many parked cars, taxis, and narrow streets.
- 25% of our users found a people carrier hire in Bangkok for AED 138 or less
- Book your people carrier hire in Bangkok at least 5 days before your trip in order to get a below-average price
- March is typically the cheapest month to hire a van in Bangkok, with prices around AED 44 per day. The most expensive month is August, with average prices of AED 70 per day.
FAQs About Hiring a Van in Bangkok
What type of car is recommended for driving in Bangkok?
Many locals drive old Toyota 5- or 7-seater vans around town. That is because they are big and spacious enough for families with small children or toddlers to move around quickly, but one person can still drive them. If you want to take your time exploring the streets, I suggest renting a Toyota Camry car or something similar. This is because they are spacious, comfortable and reliable to drive. Moreover, you will have a state-run insurance policy that covers the vehicle for anything from fire to theft.
What is the speed limit in Bangkok?
The speed limit in Bangkok varies from 31 mph to 38 mph, depending on where you are driving and factoring in the presence or absence of lights around the bend. To avoid accidents, maintain driving your Bangkok van rental at a comfortable speed between 31 mph and 38mph for you and your vehicle. When driving near schools and residential areas, the speed limit is often reduced to 25 mph. However, on the highways, you can go up to 47mph, which is an excellent speed to operate, but if you are driving a small car, ensure you are driving at least 31mph.
Where are the best places to park in Bangkok?
To move freely through Bangkok's cramped streets and traffic jams, you must park your Bangkok van rental at strategically placed spots near main shopping areas and other points of interest. Try to avoid deserted sites because they will be challenging to find and there is a big chance that some malicious party may damage your car when it is parked alone at night. Parking in areas like Lad Krabang Department of Highways Parking Lot, Wave Place Building and Talad Udom Suk Pattana is safe and free. You can also access parking garages, including MBK SkyPark and MBK Phrom Phong.

Dec 2017
Pros:
Check-in/Check-out was a breeze. The Thrifty counter at BKK is co-located with Hertz, conveniently at the airport. The folks at the counter spoke perfect English and were really helpful with all of our questions. We were able to add a second driver for no cost and there was no hassle about declining extra insurance, which we didn't need due to having it through our credit card. Best of all, they had the car waiting for us at the airport, having been brought to us from the off-site location. (We did have to return at the off-site location, but there was zero wait for the shuttle bus to get to the airport.) Even though we had booked the smallest/cheapest available model, the car we were given was plenty roomy for 4 adults and all of our luggage. I'm not sure if we were given an upgrade, or if all of their cars are just that nice, but we were really happy with it. Driving in Thailand was no problem outside of Bangkok (which we had seen earlier by taxi). Having a car made it really simple, convenient, comfortable, and cost-effective for the 4 of us to visit outlying areas like Khao Yai and Ayutthaya. Driving is on the left, like Australia and England, but Thai drivers are so polite it's easy to merge and traffic is not too fast nor too slow - really perfect. I highly recommend it.9.6 Wonderful

Pros:
1. I liked that the counter is right in the main terminal. 2. I liked that the car was located directly outside the counter location.Cons:
1. I did not like that there was no "Thrifty" sign at the car rental counters location. I asked several of the other rental desk workers where I could find Thrifty, and none of them knew. Finally I was told that I should go to the Hertz counter if I wanted to rent from Thrifty. 2. I did not like that the return procedure is disorganized. We were told to call the number on the paper that was attached to my rental agreement prior to returning the car. I called this number and got a recording. I returned the car at approximately 0330am and had to park quite a distance away from where I picked up the car because private vehicles were not allowed to enter the area where I originally picked the car up. The signs to show where to return are not well placed or do not properly explain where to go to return a Thrifty or Hertz car. I parked the vehicle in the commercial bus area and when I walked into the terminal and to the Thrifty counter, I found the agent sleeping on the desk. 3. The agents that Thrifty use speak little or no English. I had to ask an agent from another rental company to assist with communication. 4. When I picked up the vehicle the fuel tank was not full, yet the agent circled FULL, I had to seek assistance from another renter to speak Thai with the agent and explain that the fuel tank was not full, and that I was not accepting the vehicle with F circled.Sixt

Cons:
Upon arriving in Bangkok we found that the van provided was unlike the one we reserved and could not store nearly the amount of luggage as the one shown online. We also were informed that we would not have gps even though we had requested it prior to our trip. The vehicle itself was in fair condition save for the speakers/radio deck which were abismal. They constantly shorted out and were nearly useless. When we returned from our trip and attempted to return the van, your customer service had claimed they could pick up the van for us; however, we were left on our own and had to return the van to a different budget. This cost us almost 4 hours and we nearly missed our bus. Considering that we gave months notice on our requests we are EXTREMELY dissatisfied with this service and will not be using budget again.Europcar
