Hi Guys, just looking for some advice from all you wise old men :P

 

I am thinking of taking a friend of mine to her home in Nongki for a few days when I am next in Patts(Dec/Jan).

 

I was planning on hiring a car/pick-up and driving myself so was wondering if anyone can advise on:-

 

Good places in Patts to hire from.

 

How much should I expect to pay?

 

Are there any scams I should look out for?

 

Your advice and tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I've booked four days hire at the end of November from Avis Thailand. Bottom of the range, Toyota Vios at 900baht per day. I looked at some of the other local options but felt more comfortable going with a brand name I know about and the price seemed comparable or in some cases cheaper.

 

From what I can see it's got a maximum excess of 8000baht if I fuck the car up at all. So I may buy an insurance for this in the UK which would add another £14 to the total.

 

Cheers

Grs, did you book your car from the UK and do Avis have an office in Patts?

I booked it from the UK but used the avis thailand website rather than going via the UK one. I used the one at http://www.avisthailand.com/EN/index.php

 

When I tried to do it via the UK site it wanted to charge > £120. The same deal via the thai site was 3600baht.

Good advice and a significant saving (more than a third).
