Hi all!

Any thoughts on this? I saw that Avis does long-term rent, has anyone tried them? Is there a reputable rental place that will work with this budget?

Thanks!

Avis are a worldwide company with a good reputation, so you shouldnt really encounter any problems with them. However Im not sure that you will get a car for 10k a month with them.

According to the link I posted, they do 10k/month long term rentals starting from 1 month. I'll be calling them in the morning (their long-term rental specialist), but I leave fairly soon. Do you think this is a possibility? Any other companies you would recommend?

You will soon find out that the 10K price is if you rent for 5 years.

I have an 20 year old jeep I can rent out for that price / month.

Lol, good to know. Serious about the jeep?

I don't know the details of the avis offer (please keep us posted) but yes, in Thailand, renting a car is quite expensive... because cars are more expensive.

Usually for 1 month it is about 20000 even for a basic car/4x4/pick up.

10000 per month that is very good deal

Plus a is have inssurence

Its too good. Full insurance for a car (not jeep) that is fully road worthy, no strings attached...not a chance.

If it were true then why would anyone bother to buy a car, we'd just rent

So, is it true, what are the strings...? Otherwise I'll take a dozen and rent then 20k :-)

Unless it is a friend renting to a friends for "mates rates" then you will never get this deal.

Otherwise i'll take a dozen too.

There was another topic running on the subject, it had quite a few prices in it, nothing like 10,000.

Yes I agree though these companies do offer promotions time To time

I find it hard to believe renting a car with full insurance for 1 month very hard to believe

Can't be many cars there left to rent by now if it is true

I would seriously check out where their office is as if a deal sounds to good then it normally is

Might be a filshing site with fake stickers on heir cars

It might not be but

The cheapest I have ever rented a car from Avis or budget is 1200 per day and that was in bangkok

Samui prices always started allot hire

I know that Avis and budget sell their cars after 100 000 km or they used to maybe this is a way of making money out of their old cars

U defiantly need to call them and ask where their offices are then go to he airport desk and ask for directions to that office

If they do not have leaflets in their office then that is cause for consign

Then ask them where the office is that u have been given

If you know anyone on Samui with a Bkk Airways flyer bonus/resident card this may be worth looking at.
