IMHO Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 (edited) 3.2L 6AT 4WD Titanium+: 1,749,000 (+150,000) Time to think about a BMW X1 as alternative. Why, the base model X1 is 1,999,000 before the latest tax increase? Right - it's 2.9M Baht for the 2.0L diesel X1. Not Really a comparison. If you want to compare a Euro to the Everest, probably the closest match would be a Land Rover Discovery4 at 6M Baht - as it uses a body on frame chassis, and a Ford 3.0L diesel That's not really fair to the Discovery though - in other markets where both vehicles are sold, the Land Rover is about 25% cheaper than the Everest Edited December 2, 2015 by IMHO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMHO Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 Try Thailand seeing as we live here.I cant find a Ford listed. Budget,Herts or Avis. Let's think about this. Rental cars get mistreated, crashed and break down all the time. Given that, low cost of purchase, and proximity to / proliferation of, service centres is probably the primary criteria that matter. You certainly don't go and fill up a rental fleet with "driver's cars" - that's just asking for it. Give the renters the most basic, cheapest, low powered, unexciting/unrewarding to drive cars you can, and you'll have far less problems to solve.

Jitar Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 (edited) Try Thailand seeing as we live here.I cant find a Ford listed. Budget,Herts or Avis. So what. In Thailand Rental Companies use Honda or Toyota models to describe the classes because they are popular. In Australia they use Holden Ford and Hyundai. Does not matter as rental companies have fine print saying their information is for vehicle category not a specific model. When you pick up they can give you anything in the same size range. Of coarse they are always going to use popular models in their fleet but that does not mean there is anything wrong with lower volume competitors for private buyers. Would you buy a Toyota Corolla because all the Taxi's do? There is no point second guessing rental companies because they have different priorities and purchasing power to private buyers. BTW Some time ago I rented Fords in Thailand, cant remember if it was Hertz. Nissans were available as well for a while.
