Alamo is cheapest at Bangkok Airport for an Intermediate car, averaging £31 a day over the last 12 months from 543 prices, but you need a credit card and cannot compare a review score yet. Alamo has an airport desk and does not yet have enough reviews for a score. Drive Car Rental scores 99/100 from 73 reviews, but its Intermediate cars average £60 a day over the last 12 months from 1,973 prices, £29 more a day than Alamo. Choose between the lower price and a company with an established review score rather than expecting a shuttle transfer with the cheaper option.

The cheapest company can cost you a longer queue or a bigger deposit, so check the review score and desk wait beside each car in the results before you book.
