Yes! Sawasdee Rent A Car has specialized in serving expats and foreign visitors since 2006. To rent a car, you need your passport and a valid driving licence. An International Driving Permit (IDP) is required only if your licence is not issued in Roman script. Minimum age is 25 years old. A credit card is required to place a refundable security deposit (THB 5,000–15,000 depending on the vehicle), charged through a secure PayPal invoice sent to your email; the rental itself can be paid by cash, bank transfer, or card. We have extensive experience working with expats and make the process simple and straightforward.

Sawasdee offers more flexible rental terms with no long-term commitments required, while KINTO One requires minimum subscriptions. I've been operating for 20 years (since 2006) versus KINTO's 7 years (started 2019).

We provide true door-to-door personal service rather than corporate procedures. Our focus is on building long-term relationships with customers, many of whom have rented from us for 10+ years. I offer transparent pricing with no hidden fees, a hand-picked premium fleet, and same-day delivery availability.

You can rent for any duration: minimum 3 days for individual rental, weekly (7+ days with discount), or monthly (30+ days with best rates). For corporate rental, we offer 1-year minimum contracts. Many of our expat customers rent for 3-12 months. Long-term rentals get the best rates, and a 1-month prepaid deposit may apply. We're flexible - you can start with a short rental and extend as needed.

You need:

1. Passport for identification
2. A valid driving licence. An International Driving Permit (IDP) is required only if your licence is not issued in Roman script
3. A credit card — required to place a refundable security deposit (THB 5,000–15,000, depending on the vehicle), charged via a secure PayPal invoice sent to your email. The rental itself can be paid by cash, bank transfer, or card.
4. Work permit (for long-term rental, when applicable)

Minimum driver age is 25 years old.

Yes, comprehensive insurance is always included in our rental prices at no extra cost. This includes: Collision Damage Waiver (CDW), Personal Accident Insurance (PAI), Compulsory Third Party Insurance (CTP), and first-class comprehensive insurance on every vehicle. You have 24/7 claims support if needed.

Please note: A flat insurance excess (deductible) of THB 3,000 applies per at-fault event, the same for all vehicles. It is deducted from your refundable security deposit.

Yes! All our rentals include unlimited mileage within Thailand. You're free to drive anywhere in the country - to Phuket, Chiang Mai, Pattaya, or anywhere else. The comprehensive insurance covers you throughout Thailand. Many customers use their rental to explore Thailand on weekends while living in Bangkok during the week.

Yes, monthly rentals are one of our specialties. Rates start from ฿18,000/month for a Toyota Yaris, up to ฿54,000/month for a Toyota Majesty VIP van. Monthly rates offer the best value and are popular with expats on assignment in Bangkok. A refundable security deposit applies, and I offer flexible renewal terms. Many customers rent for 3-6 months at a time.

Booking is easy:

1. Contact us via WhatsApp (+66 81 346 6888), LINE (@sawasdeecar), phone, or our website
2. Tell us your requirements: dates, vehicle preference, and delivery location
3. We'll confirm availability and provide exact pricing
4. Once confirmed, we'll deliver the vehicle to your specified location
5. Full payment is made at the time of car delivery

For long-term rentals, a 1-month prepaid deposit may be required. The whole process typically takes less than 24 hours from first contact to delivery.

Yes — a refundable security deposit of THB 5,000–15,000 is required on every rental, with the amount depending on the value of the vehicle. It is placed by credit card through a secure PayPal invoice sent individually to your email, and fully refunded once the car is returned undamaged. The deposit covers any charges incurred during the rental — including the THB 3,000 excess, fines, tolls, fuel shortfall, or damage — with the balance refunded; if charges exceed the deposit, the difference is payable. The rental itself can be paid by cash, bank transfer, or credit card (card via PayPal, with a processing fee). For long-term rentals, a 1-month prepaid deposit may also apply. Card details are never collected over WhatsApp, LINE, or email — only through the secure PayPal invoice.

I offer 15 vehicles across 13 personality categories: NIMBLE (Toyota Yaris hatchback, plus the all-electric ORA Good Cat Ultra), ASPIRE (Toyota Yaris ATIV sedan), DYNAMIC (Honda City Hatchback turbo), CONSCIOUS (Toyota Yaris Cross Hybrid), RELIABLE (Toyota Corolla Altis), UNITE (Toyota Veloz 7-seater), PROVEN (Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid), ELEGANCE (Honda HR-V e:HEV), HARMONY (Jaecoo J7 PHEV), WARRIOR (GWM Tank 300 4WD), FEARLESS (Honda CR-V AWD), EVOLVE (BYD ATTO 3), and PRESTIGE (Toyota Majesty VIP van and Toyota Alphard). Alongside the Toyota and Honda core, the fleet now includes ORA, Jaecoo, GWM and BYD. All vehicles are well-maintained, newer models (typically 1-3 years old).

Vehicles are delivered with a full tank of fuel. Please return the vehicle with the same fuel level to avoid refueling charges. Fuel usage during your rental is not included in the rental rate and is your responsibility. Our hybrid vehicles (Yaris Cross, Corolla Cross, HR-V) are very fuel-efficient, achieving 22-24 km/L.

Individual rentals require a minimum of 3 days. This allows us to maintain our high-quality service standards and vehicle condition. For corporate clients, we offer 1-year minimum rental contracts with flexible terms. If you need a vehicle for 1-2 days, please contact us directly and we'll try to accommodate your needs based on availability.
