Fortuner Car Rental 6 Months

Post by JimmyGreaves »

Hi I have some friends coming over in August to test the water here. They are looking for a family SUV like a fortuner to rent long term.

Anyone recommend a long term, safe, properly insured car rental company. They don't want Hertz etc as the rates are crazy!

Cheers.

Thanks Guys. Do any offer any discounts as they will start renting during the low season when things are quite.

I'll give them the websites sponsors for sure and maybe a couple more if I get good feedback here.

It did for me, and still does. I click the link, and my laptop inserts the .com. Maybe there there's something historically stored, but it definitely works. I'll try it on my tablet later when it comes off charge.

Actually do Avis, Budget and Hertz offer pretty good deals in low season if you contact them pr phone or email and ask for a deal on long term rental but forget booking through their webpages, the pr day prices coming up there is horrible. I paid Thb 13500,- pr month with one of the mentioned companies above on a 3 month deal for a nearly brand new Honda Jazz with 1. class insurance last year.

Yes it's magic. It picks .com when there could be a many top level domain names! (.co.uk .ie .co.th) Yes I'd say it's cached (historically stored)

Thanks Jimmy for passing your friend to us and fixing my link :oops: Note the price http://www.carhuahin.com charges includes CDW and personal injury insurance for car ,driver and up to 6 passengers plus 24 hour breakdown cover and free second driver plus bail bond as well as bringing the car to home or hotel. Most important for many is we do not swipe a credit card and have a maximum excess of 5000 Baht also included in our price. Some companies rental rates may seem cheaper but often have addons and extras and can be expensive when the car is damaged. For instance a customer last week scratched the front of the hire car,we charged 1000 baht (our cost of repair). A national company will not usually be this flexible and can charge much more to your credit card as per their terms.
Support your local Britsh managed rental company for personal friendy efficient service with no small print.Check the reviews at thebottom of this page http://www.carhuahin.com. Hopefully the link will work on all, not only magic computers 8)

The one scratching the car was propably me. On a narrow tarmac road I stopped to give way for a forthcoming truck. When turning back to the road I brushed a concrete pole hiding behind the high bonnet of the Vigo. When I heard the left fender contacting something, I felt a cold breeze blowing from my wallet pocket.

I took few photos of the damage, and mailed them to Som. Next day the mail was answered with a offer of 1000 bath to cover the repair. I even got thanks for reporting the damage early, so they could arrenge the repairs right after I would return the car. In Finland I propably would pay the same amount. In Euros.
