Budget car hire - telephone number or email address?

Post by **Jaime** » Tue Mar 14, 2006 1:53 am

Can anyone pm me the number or preferably the email address of the Budget car hire place in Hua Hin? The email address I have always used seems to have been discontinued.

Cheers in advance,

Jaime

Sorry to come in on the back of this, but can I request the same please - My need is not only for the local area, but to drive to Phimai for a few days and then back again. I assume thats not a problem?

I do have the offer of the village headmans pick up as an alternative!!!

Thanks

Hi Jamie.

The number for budget in hua hin is 032514220.

I always booked online when flying in to Thailand, www.budget.co.th

They do offer the best service and you will be met at arrivals.

Next time you are here ask for a corperate card. just fill out the form and you will get automatic upgrades when hiring a car.

Cheers Mike, I will be there in a couple of weeks. I just called and booked a pick up - I never seem to be able to get a pick up truck on-line. Not as comfortable as a Toyota Altis but easier to get 15 in-laws in the back!

Hi Jamie.

You can in fact order a pick up on line with the Budget site.

Dont forget to ask for a form to get your corp card.

You can then book online, get free upgrade, cheaper rates, and no hassle at the airport. Just show your card and away you go.

Just worried how a Valley boy will get on in BKK traffic.

If you pick up from the airport agreed it's no problem but I want to pick up from Hua Hin and they only have a limited range on the internet. I can't be arsed to drive from BKK to HH after a 12 hour flight - I think I would fall asleep at the wheel!

As for the traffic - you obviously haven't seen Bedlinog in rush hour!
