How do I find the best car rental deals in Sao Phao with Expedia?
Expedia makes it a cinch to compare fees, offers and rental providers, and to check reviews. Bundle your Sao Phao car rental with flight or hotel bookings to make even bigger savings.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Sao Phao?
If you're 21 and over, you can rent a car in Sao Phao. Be mindful that rental companies will charge young drivers an additional fee, which is meant to cover the higher accident risk involved. Also, young motorists are generally restricted from renting larger vehicles and luxury cars. Check the fine print before booking so there are no surprises at the rental counter.
What do you need to rent a car in Sao Phao?
Any rental company you select will require two things — a valid driver's licence and a credit card in your name. If you'd prefer to opt out of the provider's insurance plan, proof of other coverage will also likely be needed. Read your policy thoroughly so you know what to bring when it's time to collect your wheels.
What side of the road do you drive on in Sao Phao?
If you're renting a car in Sao Phao or planning a big road trip in Thailand, be prepared to drive on the left-hand side. Also, the steering wheel will be on a different side to what you're used to in the U.S. This may take a while to get the hang of, so drive with extra caution.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Sao Phao?
Whether you have plans to hang around Sao Phao or explore what's beyond, it's easy to book a long-term rental with Expedia. Enter your trip dates and pick-up/drop-off locations and we'll help you find incredible long-term car rental deals.
Where can I find a Sao Phao car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to look into the age policy of the Sao Phao rental suppliers you're interested in. If you're under 25 years of age, be aware that some will charge extra costs. It's better to know this before collecting the vehicle so you can tailor your budget accordingly. Each rental car company has its own rules for younger drivers, so it pays to do your research.
