Exciting road trip adventures await in Chiang Rai, with daily rental car rates starting from as little as $21. That's based on prices found within the past seven days.
Can I rent a car from Chiang Rai Intl. Airport (CEI)?

Check your itinerary for the details or click through to our Customer Service Portal to find out more.

There's so much to do in Chiang Rai, but head farther afield and you'll find more sightseeing magic. Pick up a set of wheels and you can discover the surrounding area at your leisure. Add these awesome drives to your list:

  • You'll find Wat Phra That Doi Suthep and loads of other intriguing sights in Chiang Mai Province. From Chiang Rai, it's roughly 95 miles away.

How do I find the best car rental deals in Chiang Rai with Expedia?
Check out ratings and reviews, choose your preferred car class and compare offers from the most popular providers. Expedia makes it a cinch to score the best deal on your rental wheels. Combine your Chiang Rai car rental with flight or hotel bookings and drive off with even more savings.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Chiang Rai?
Generally, you need to be 21 years of age and over in Chiang Rai. You should be aware that most outlets will charge extra fees for young renters. Check before you pick your ride, as different rules may apply between rental car suppliers. Keep in mind that if you're planning to rent a specialty ride or a large car like a premium SUV, you may need to be older than 21.
What do you need to rent a car in Chiang Rai?
Before you can road trip around Chiang Rai, you'll need a valid driver's license and a credit card that matches the name on your license. If you prefer not to take out the company's insurance policy, you may also have to provide proof of other coverage. Requirements may vary, so read the policy terms and conditions before you select a rental provider.
What side of the road do you drive on in Chiang Rai?
In Chiang Rai, as with all of Thailand, you drive on the left-hand side of the road. Take things slow to build up confidence driving on the left if you've never done it before.
What is the cheapest car rental in Chiang Rai?
The two lowest daily rates on offer in Chiang Rai within the past seven days were $21 and $25. Now that's what we'd call a fantastic deal! 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 Rai?
You can rent a vehicle for a month or even longer in Chiang Rai, so go on and extend your hard-earned vacation! Just enter your trip information into our long-term car rental deals page and reserve your ideal ride.
Where can I find a Chiang Rai car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some Chiang Rai outlets will rent to drivers under 25, and others won't. Age policies differ between suppliers, so be prepared to do some research. Also, find out if there are any extra costs. Some businesses will have a surcharge for young drivers between the ages of 21 and 24. Always look through the terms and conditions so you know what to expect.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Chiang Rai?
It's a wise idea to have collision damage protection to cover your Chiang Rai rental car against accident damage, theft and vandalism. And with Expedia, it's easy to purchase this insurance for your vehicle during the booking process. Providing up to $35,000 in primary coverage, it also offers 24/7 emergency help and no deductible should you need to make a claim. Have your plans changed? If you cancel your policy before your scheduled collection time, you'll get a 100 percent refund.
Can I drive in Chiang Rai with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license issued in Thailand, then you might need to acquire an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country to be allowed to rent a car. Please also consider that if an IDP is required, it won't be valid on its own. You'll be asked to show your current driver's license your passport and other forms of identification as well. Lastly, make sure the credit card used to book the rental vehicle matches the name on your driver's license and passport. Some other requirements to rent a car internationally are:

  • Age restrictions: You need to be at least 25 in most places to rent a car. If you're younger, it might 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 you can rent.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the rules and regulations before driving away. With rental cars, you usually can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or on off-road areas with your rental car.
