Looking for a medium term motor rental

Post by thebears »

I'm not sure if it's allowed to ask for this on the forum, or if there's a classified section that I should use, but I'm looking to rent a reasonably up-to-date car or pick-up on a monthly basis, perhaps from someone who doesn't stay in the town all the time. Is there any chance of this at all? Thanks.

A price range and an idea of just how long you are looking at renting may help a little ? The time of year will also play a part in availability and cost. Any preferences to manual or auto also . Good luck

Hi Thebears,
I have a friend who has a 4 year old Honda City for rent (manual gears). It has fully comp insurance but you would need a Thai driving license or an Int license. It is available up until New Year for 10 000 baht per month.

Cheap as chips ! About what it would cost to buy one and without the deposit !

Many thanks to all for the help. The above sounds ideal for me, so I'll drop you a line separately.
