Which company is most trusted at Chiang Rai Airport?

05

How much is the deposit, and can I pay with a debit card?

The deposit and card rule for each hire car are shown beside it in the results at Chiang Rai Airport. Filter for a debit card before you compare prices rather than after. Extras charged at the desk, such as a child seat or a second driver, are listed under each car with their price.

If you bring your own child seat, check your airline's rules first: most carry one free, some charge.

06

What should I be careful of at Chiang Rai Airport?

One thing catches people out when you hire at Chiang Rai Airport: fuel rules that are not full to full. The results list every company quoting a hire car for your dates at Chiang Rai Airport, with its desk wait and whether it collects you by shuttle.

Only 87% of prices at Chiang Rai Airport are full tank out, full tank back, so read the fuel line under the car before you book.

07

Which car should I pick?

For up to 5 people with cases, pick a Compact at Chiang Rai Airport, the Honda City or Nissan Kicks E-Power size at about £37 a day across the year. It seats 5 but takes 3 bags, so a full car means soft bags on laps. A couple can save a little with a Mini, a Geely EX2, at £24 a day, though it takes 2 bags. An Intermediate, the Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid size, takes 4 bags and is £52 a day. 93% of hire cars at Chiang Rai Airport are automatic, so one is easy to find. Electric cars are 13% of what is offered and hybrids 27%, so there is usually one free at short notice.
