Gimbo Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 I am heading back to the Buri Ram area in June, and wonder if it is possible to hire a car (pick-up preffered) at the air port in Buri Ram? Thinking about flying there instead of hiring one at BKK and drive. Will be farting about with it for two weeks, trying to see as much of Isaan as possible, so need something that will not die on me in some remote spot. Any tips and advice appreciated. Have all the required licenses and insurances, and well used to driving in Thailand, so no problem there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe able to hire something in Buriram though or try Farang Connection in Surin. TBWG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gimbo Posted March 30, 2007 Author Share Posted March 30, 2007 Ok, that answered the question. So then I will simply rent a car at BKK, and drive up there, as logisticly it will be the easiest option for me. GF is 60 km north of Buriram, so going all the way to Surin to hire the car and then drive back up there is not an option. Could of course rent one in Buriram town itself, but thats just a hassle. I enjoy driving anyway, so no problem. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Bonaparte Not sure of exact date but I suspect it has been open for at least 10 years, certainly 7 to my knowledge. Its a nice passenger friendly airport a pleasure to use.

TBWG It's been open about 14 years. I used to fly direct Bangkok-Surin, but Surin Ratchadee Airport has been closed for a couple of years now. Well, not closed, but Andaman Air used to serve it.

Disting Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 On my first visit to Buri Ram with the future Mrs to meet family etc, I called Budget and asked if I can rent a car from Buri Ram airport. Yes they say, but with a surcharge as we have to bring car from different place. No worries says I and get on the plane. Arrive at airport and pick up the car. Driver takes us to the hotel in town and we do paperwork. Thank you I say, Thank you he says and speaks Thai to the missus. She says he wants to know what time we finish with the car as he has long trip to pick it up. Where did he come from I ask. Turns out he brought the car from Bangkok. Crazy as they have a place in Khorat. If they had told us that at the time I would have driven. As it was I cancelled the pick up and drove it back to Bangkok myself. So, car rental is possible at the airport but under rather bizzare circumstances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBWG Hi Gimbo Realistically think my original comment still applies. TBWG Actually I've already PM'd him to say we DO deliver to Buriram Airport. We charge a 500 baht pick up or drop off fee. Which is pretty fare as we have to take two cars to the airport. And sorry for the confusion, but although Surin airport is still open, it does not do commercial flights, only military flights. We're still hoping it will open commercially again soon though. Edited April 25, 2007 by lampard10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bottlerocket Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 I wouldn't rent any cars in Surin, because no one there has any "For Hire" insurance. You're better off and safer renting from a reputable car rental agency. You should ask to see coverage or you could really be up the creek,...especially in Surin.

Not flying in after all as my girl is coming down to meet me and then we spend a couple of days in BKK, before driving up country. She need to get her pass port sorted, so we will take care of that first, then rent a car and drive up. Edited April 26, 2007 by Gimbo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrong.......................................we have for hire insurance. After all we are a registered tour company. As for the rest of the hire cars in Surin, you're almost right. Most of them have NO insurance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
