How do I find the best car rental deals in Chiang Mai with Expedia?
Getting an awesome deal on your Chiang Mai rental car is a breeze with Expedia. Choose your preferred car type, add some details and compare prices across major suppliers. Why not add flights and hotels to your booking? You'll unlock even more savings when you combine your bookings into a package.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Chiang Mai?
In Chiang Mai, the requirement is usually 21 years and over. Most outlets will charge extra fees for young drivers, which can vary based on the rental location. Rental policies for young drivers may restrict certain vehicles, such as luxury cars, and require the purchase of inclusive insurance. Be sure to read the fine print before booking your wheels.
What do you need to rent a car in Chiang Mai?
Your driver's license and a credit card in the same name are necessities. Don't want to take out the company's insurance plan? Then you may also need proof of other coverage. Rules can differ between rental companies, so read through your policy.
What side of the road do you drive on in Chiang Mai?
If you hop behind the wheel in Chiang Mai, you'll need to stick to the left. Take note that the steering wheel will also be on the opposite side to what you're familiar with. Consider booking a ride with automatic transmission for an easier motoring experience.
What is the cheapest car rental in Chiang Mai?
Based on prices within the past seven days, you could've taken the wheel of a rental car for just $21 a day. The second lowest daily rate in Chiang Mai was $24. These rates were available on Expedia, with a rental starting date within the next year. Prices and availability are subject to change and additional terms apply.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Chiang Mai?
Whether you're planning to hang around Chiang Mai or venture beyond, you can reserve a long-term rental with Expedia. Enter your trip information and pick-up/drop-off locations and we'll find you the best long-term car rental deals.
Where can I find a Chiang Mai car rental if I am younger than 25?
This depends on the car rental companies operating in Chiang Mai. They often have different age policies. If you've found a place that does cater to drivers under the age of 25, keep in mind that extra fees may apply. Conduct some research into what those charges could be before you collect the car.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Chiang Mai?
A comprehensive insurance plan is a wise idea for your Chiang Mai adventure. That's why we recommend opting in to collision protection while reserving your car rental with Expedia. This insures your vehicle against theft, vandalism and accident damage. Some destinations may require a minimum level of liability insurance. This may already be included in your rental cost or your personal auto insurance, so check what you're covered for.
Can I drive in Chiang Mai with my current driver's license?
If you don't hold a driver's license issued in Thailand, then you may need to acquire an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your place of residence to be able to rent a car. Also consider that if you do need an IDP, it has no validity on its own. You'll need to show your current license your passport and other forms of identification as well. Lastly, it's important that the credit card you used to book the rental matches the name on your driver's license and passport. Some additional requirements to rent a car internationally are:

  • Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or older in many countries to rent a car. If you're younger, it may still be possible to rent a car but you'll have to pay a Young Driver's Surcharge. Additional restrictions may also apply to the types of vehicles available to rent.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before getting behind the wheel. Typically, you can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or off road with a rental vehicle.
