Possible To Buy Insurance For A Driver?

[girlx]

If I rent a car in Thailand, and the shop does not offer insurance, is there some kind of insurance i can buy to cover me for any vehicle I am driving? Ie. that covers the driver, not the vehicle? I am more worried about hitting someone else and having to pay for it than any injuries to myself (I have health insurance). Thanks for any info...

May be the Motor forum would be a better place to ask this.

There is bound to be someone to point you in the right direction there.

In Thailand ins. is for the vehicle. Shortest period I've come across is 6mos.

Do not rent from any vehicle rental company that cannot offer 1st Class Insurance. Ask yourself why? Probably they've scammed so much they cannot now obtain such!

well maybe but in koh phangan it is just mom and pop shops.... nothing is done like it is in bigger cities in thailand... there is no insurance to cover the driver instead of the vehicle then huh?
