It is known for its welcoming culture and delicious cuisine. With a rental car in Thailand, you can fully experience the diversity of this country and enjoy freedom and flexibility during your trip.
Thailand's roads range from modern and wide in urban areas to narrow and winding in remote areas. Although the main highways are usually in good condition, some rural roads can be challenging. Be careful when driving in mountainous areas and be mindful of local traffic and road behaviour.
For Thailand, a category car such as an SUV is recommended, especially if you plan to travel through mountainous areas. An SUV offers more power and stability on hilly roads. If you are going to sunny destinations, a convertible can be nice for extra fun. Choose a car that suits your needs.
The best time to visit Thailand is in the dry seasons, from November to February, when the weather is pleasantly cool and dry. This is ideal for exploring the country by rental car.
