Top 5 Car Hire Companies in Pattaya

There are a number of car rental companies in Pattaya but some are best to be avoided whilst others offer their clients a professional service.

The most important thing with any car rental company is that they offer first-class RENTAL insurance. This means that they are insured to rent the vehicle in the first place. If you don’t have this and you are involved in an accident then your insurance could be null and void. For this reason alone, it is best to avoid the ‘cheap’ rental companies as you are unlikely to be covered in the event of an accident.

All vehicles come with full first class rental insurance and the company also offers a delivery and pickup service.
