KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Pattaya

  • Suppose you want to do an extensive tour of Pattaya. If that’s the case, it is wise to rent a car from one of the top car rentals in Pattaya for a smooth traveling experience. A rental car will offer you comfort and convenience that you will not get with public transport. Moreover, you will be able to reach your destinations more swiftly as you will not be traveling by schedule or stopping too often as buses do. With a rental, you can also take a road trip to neighboring towns such as Naklua, Rayong, Sattahip, and Bang Saray.
  • If you decide to take a flight to Pattaya, you will land at U-Tapao Rayong-Pattaya International Airport (UTP), which is 28 miles from the town center. At this airport, there are several Pattaya car rentals, so it will not be a hassle to rent a car. Their counters are located inside the airport terminal building, but at different points. At the Arrivals Section, signage for different car companies are available. To get to your preferred agency, clearly follow its signs.
  • Driving on Pattaya roads requires a certain assertiveness, as Thai drivers can be quite aggressive and unpredictable. So, it is crucial to maintain a safe distance between you and other cars as a cautionary measure. While most Pattaya roads are well-maintained, some side streets or rural areas may have potholes, so you should be very careful while driving. You should also note that motorcycles and scooters are prevalent on Thai roads, so it is important to follow traffic rules, stay alert and exude patience.
  • In Pattaya, traffic can be quite congested, especially in the city center and popular tourist areas. As a bustling city with many vehicles on the road, major roads like Beach Road and Second Road experience heavy traffic, especially during peak hours. Peak hours are typically early mornings, from about 7:00 am to 9:00 am, and late afternoons, usually from 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm, when people are commuting to and from work. To mitigate traffic, it is recommended to plan your travel routes and leave a time allowance for reaching your destination.

If you are a group of 4 to 5 people, consider renting a Compact or a Full-size to have a comfortable traveling experience. The rental you settle on should also be drivable to the destinations you intend to visit. Suppose you intend to get to destinations served by gravel and dirt roads. If so, it’s in your best interest to rent an SUV.

  • What’s the speed limit in Pattaya?

    As with most of Thailand, the general speed limit in the urban areas of Pattaya is 60 km/h (37 mph). The low-speed regulation is because there are many motorists and pedestrians on most Pattaya roads. The speed limit also applies to residential areas and roads within the built-up areas of the town. Still, speed limits may vary according to the condition of the road, so look out for signage that indicates speed limits to avoid getting in bad books with traffic police.

  • Where are the best places to park in Pattaya?

    If you are worried about renting a car from one of the car rentals in Pattaya because you may not be able to find parking spaces, then you need not worry. The town offers various parking options, such as street parking, public parking lots, and shopping mall parking for those who want to stop and do some shopping. Street parking lots are typically marked with white lines and may require you to pay parking fees at a rate of around ฿10 to ฿20 ($0.29-$0.58) per hour. Public parking lots in Pattaya are bigger and have more parking spaces. Parking fees in these lots are usually charged based on an hourly rate of ฿20 to ฿50 ($0.58-$1.44) per hour. Most shopping malls' parking services are free. However, they offer limited parking periods, such as two hours or so.

Pros:

The car was in good shape and fairy clean.

Cons:

After the drop off they asked me for more money. It was 55 Baht more so if you change it to dollars is not much.. But still, I signed a different price at the beginning. I don't think is fair to sign for a set price at the pick up and when you drop it off they tell you that they made a mistake and you have to pay more.. after you used it for the whole day. That'd be my only complain and I am very upset about it because the mistake with the price wasn't my fault. Now I have 2 different charges on my credit card.
