hasitha77 98 Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Is it possible to rent my own car as a foreigner to get some income since I got laid off from work😔. What is the legal background behind renting a personal car in thailand as work permit holder? If it is possible, what type of Insuarance I should purchase before renting it out? Any suggestions/own experience will be appreciated.🤗 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salerno 7571 Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 I would think that would be seen as "running a business" therefore, if it came to the attention of authorities you could have problems. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FritsSikkink 16850 Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 If you got laid off, your work permit isn't valid anymore. You would be running a business without paperwork. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

richard_smith237 49661 Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 The ‘as a foreigner' part makes it difficult... IF the car can be rented out from a Thai (i.e. Thai wife etc), then that is quite possible although there are obvious other pitfalls, such as risk of theft and insurance etc... but that is a different matter from your question.

I guess this is the best possible solution now. Transfer car to my wife's name and rent it out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not even sure the car needs to be in your Wife’s name... She can just rent it out as ‘her business’... Obviously the insurance needs to be water-tight and use GPS trackers etc. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
