grahamb Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 I just booked some flights from the UK to Ireland during the summer. Aer Lingus told me I could get a good rate from Hertz so I thought I'd see what they were offering. One of the questions was "Country of Residence". I tried it twice putting in Thailand (my country of residence) and UK (where my driving licence is from) and the results were: Thailand: Cheapest car was €691 (B35400 ) UK: Cheapest car was £165 (B12100) If you're booking a car, be very careful if you're using your Thai licence - it may cost you 3 times as much! Of course, I'm not suggesting that anyone would put down the incorrect country of residence Fortunately I've got access to a corporate rate that was cheaper than both of these but I was amazed how much difference there was between the countries.

Dragonman Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 Is anyone surprised someone admitting they drive in Thailand would not be surcharged. I just wouldn't be able to cope with no overtaking on inside,outside,hardshoulder,central reservation,motorbikes coming straight at you,u-turns on dual carriageways,etc.,etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
