I used to use Budget before I had a vehicle of my own: http://www.budget.co.th/default.aspx
You can get a car from them exactly as you would anywhere else in the world. Technically you need an international license to drive in Thailand but they used to be happy with my UK one.
They have a branch in Hua Hin and obviously at the airport in Bangkok.
