  • You'll need to show some documents when collecting your car. As a rule, bring a valid driver's licence, a credit card with enough balance for the deposit (debit cards usually aren't accepted), and additional photo ID. Your booking will confirm exactly what's required.

  • Driving in Thailand may take some getting used to if it's your first time. Keep in mind you'll need to stick to the left side of the road.

  • Stay within local speed limits of about 55kph (35mph) in urban areas and around 110kph (70mph) on highways. Always check the posted signs, as limits may vary.

  • In Thailand, the legal blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit is 0.05%. If you're planning to drink, get someone else to do the driving or choose another way to travel.

  • Try to travel outside high-traffic periods for a smoother trip. 8am is one of the busiest times to be on the road in this destination.

  • You'll be using the Thai baht (THB) for everything you buy here. You may find it handy to carry a mix of cash and cards so you're covered for every situation.

  • The language most commonly used in this country is Thai.
