Ostine21 · 2025-08-26

Hi there, Has anyone got any great tips for long-term car rental (1 month, maybe more) in Chiang Mai?

Hi everyone, Same question as Ostine21 but from Chiang Rai airport to Phuket, between January and February for 26 nights. I’ve checked sites like Avis, Booking, and a few Thai rental companies. Thanks for your tips!

Hi

Before I had my car, I used to rent through the site https://www.fastcarhire.com/index.html on a budget.

I just found a car rental place that looks solid: Car Drive Rental, with an office at the airport. Has anyone tried them?

By typing "reviews for car drive rental in Chiang Mai" online, you’ll get plenty of answers. This method actually works for a whole bunch of things.

The web is flooded with favorable reviews posted anonymously by the companies themselves or their commissioned reps—this trick works for a whole bunch of things too.

After relying on some reviews here on VF for hotels or guesthouses, I know I’ll look elsewhere for my good deals. You can’t exactly claim everything online is fake either.

Who’s going to answer the person’s question, and how will that guarantee they’ll get the same service?

I was just asking for an opinion, not an out-of-place controversy. As they say, forewarned is forearmed—I can still read a review, but I just want some firsthand feedback. I’ve been going to Thailand for six years now, and believe me, I’ve had a few letdowns despite positive reviews.

There’s no controversy at all.

Good evening everyone, and thanks for your advice. Your site shows prices similar to French booking sites, but they're double what's listed on Drive Car Rental, Booking Car, or Thai Rent a Car.

I'm slowly leaning toward "Chic Car Rent"—if anyone knows about them, that could help Ostine21 and me out.

When do you usually make reservations? I was thinking about 1 month before departure.

Thanks in advance for your comments.
