The wife and I just arrived last week and plan on staying 6 months maybe a year. I am interested in a car rental but unsure if it's better to go the private owner route or use a proper car rental company. Are private rentals perfectly legal in the eyes of authorities? Any pros or cons of either that stand out to you?
I'm looking to spend 10-12,000 baht monthly and not really particular about make and model as long as it's in good repair and AC works well.
Any advice in the subject appreciated. I'm sure I will have many more questions in many more topics in the coming days weeks. But so far we love Hua Hin!

Re: Need a longer term car rental
Those look like really nice vehicles, but the prices are more then I can afford. Is this company a site sponsor? Are there any others who may have less expensive vehicles?
Re: Need a longer term car rental
Most rental places would charge 800+ baht per day. So 30 days = 24,000 with a long term discount perhaps 20,000. I don't know of anywhere but if you can find a local place with older cars you may be lucky to get a cheaper price. Best of luck.

Thanks for that information. What is the best source for finding private cars for hire? I know for housing you just look for signs on the streets you're interested in. What about vehicles?

If you are still looking for a vehicle let me know, and I'll ask a mate of mine if he is interested, and if he is, how much he wants.

Re: Need a longer term car rental
Contact Avis, Budget or Hertz head offices in Bangkok and ask for a minimum of 6 months rent and I guess you can get one monthly for 10-15K included insurance.

Re: Need a longer term car rental
Still looking. I tried Avis today 17,900 baht is their best long term rate for Toyota Vios. Better than what I found so far, but still would like cheaper.
Re: Need a longer term car rental
You can easily find a small car for 12-14 per month from local business people. Try going along soi 102 and ask in each shop if they know where you can rent a car. You will be surprised.
The caveats of renting from a person instead of a car rent company should be obvious.
Also consider buying a second hand car instead, if you're really staying for 6-12 months. It can save you a bundle.
