Im in England right now, I fly out tomorrow , a friend of mine has died , and i need to go to issann (korat)

if anyone can help me out ,it would very much appreciated

thanks in advance

I think I saw a couple trucks among the cars for rent at the Exzite parking lot car rental operation. However, I don't know if these informal rental operations provide proper insurance.

I've hired quite a few truck in Thailand and I've never had and problems with insurance .... normally 5000B deposit and that covers everything

but yes full insurance is important

i think the trucks near Xcite are expensive .... 2000B- 2500 a day

thanks

This place seems cheaper than the others for pick-up weekly rates.

12,000 / wk for a 4wd 4 door vigo as opposed to 9000 wk for same model from Pattaya rent a car would suggest otherwise.

I've had a quote of 6900B for a week

if you can beat that or match get in touch . nice to have options

some of the prices quoted are ridicules ...... i have never paid more than 1200b a day ...... 6000B for week

Had dealing with them in the past, you really really have to be careful about the extras they add to your bill and watch the charges you will incur for the slightest imperfection when returning the vehicle.

Yes they have first class insurance but you are paying through the nose for it.

There are better places in Pattaya both Thai and expat owned.

Yes, to reiterate...be sure the vehicle is insured AND that the coverage is for a rental/hire vehicle. This is not a problem if renting from a legit car/truck rental business but if you go to one of the more informal rentals, insist to see the rental contract and verify that it is actually for the vehicle in question, that it is a current policy, and that it covers rental/hire of the vehicle.

I was looking at the cheapest model on offer, and for this they appeared to be cheaper.

YMMV

I couldn't actually see this insurance mentioned anywhere on their website.

If you are going to Korat why not fly to a closer airport and hire from there ?

Maybe you have friends or equipment you need to take from Pattaya ?

If it's cheap then there is usually a reason and usually it is no Rental Insurance!

I have used www.escape-rentals.com who are on Soi Dianna, smashed up the front end of the car and there was no problems just loss of deposit (as expected) and they even let me rent again.

I've heard so many horror stories about the cowboy rental companies.. charging for time off the road after an accident and invalid insurance leaving the hirer responsible for 3rd party damages etc..
