MrPlumbs Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 I recently rented a car on soi khao noi (very near Villa) for a week while mine was resprayed, I returned it in good condition other than the tiniest of tiny marks on the bottom of the rear fender, looked like a small stone from the road perhaps. It wasn't visible unless you bent down and looked close. I was charged 500 Baht. I spoke to the owner and said that I had rented from him 3/4 times in the past and if he charged me for a tiny, tiny mark I wouldn't return... he took the money (He was farang). so I am looking for another rental place... any recommendations?

Jayman Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 no idea what you paid so hard to give you an honest comparison. It sounds like insurance means nothing to you since you are paying for damage on the car rented. I just rented a car from HERTZ at pattaya central mall. It was a brand new jazz and the cost is 555 per day + 200 or so for the all inclusive insurance (of you want it) we paid like 760thb for a brand new car completely covered by insurance. If you don't want the cdw then you get it for 555thb a day. http://www.hertzthailand.com/EN/ you have to call and book to get the discount rate.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anon10 Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 But wait till you bring it back and Hertz or Avis slipped your credit card already ?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayman Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 huh?? We rented it for 10 days and paid with SCB credit card. All went fine.. not sure what you are trying to say. If you feel better renting cars from your neighbors then by all means go for it. I prefer to rent from professional companies that maintain their cars and offer proper insurance.

Gone Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 The corner of SSCC and the Railway rd seems ok for Motorcycles and they have cars, trucks etc. too of course but best to just pop in to read all the prices etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taffythai Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Try Pranom at Siam Post office in Siam Country Club road. Decent cars and good service along with sensible prices. Located 200 yards past the electric sub station on the left going east. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayman Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 am I the only one to list the rental prices? If I need to rent a car the last thing I want to do is drive around the dark side asking for prices and details. Personally, the Hertz promo is the best deal around and the service and vehicles are A+. 555thb a day.. how can you beat that? Oh, they are not on the darkside but I'm sure they will let you take the car to the darkside Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigt3365 Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Why limit yourself to the darkside? These guys will pick you up and drop you off: http://www.pattayacar-rent.com/ I've rented from them several times and with full insurance. When I dropped off the car, they didn't even look it over. Full insurance!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
