AsiaWolfie Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 I wonder why it is no problem to get a small car (e.g: Suzuki Carribean 650 BT or Honda Jazz 750 BT, including VAT and 1st class insurance) for cheap in BKK from a very big and reputable car-rental company, and in Izan this seems to be very hard. from the Udon and KKC websites I know, I could not found any such comparable offers which is surprising in my eyes, as BKK is much more an expensive place in general..... anyone knows a cheap and trustful car rental company there in Udon, or Khonkaen (which would be better for my travelling schedule) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other place is two doors down from Erics bar also next to the the Oasis center but I think they are a bit more expensive. The other as day I took my motorbike to KK to get a service and ended up pissed in erics bar and the missus had the shits and would not come and pick me up so I got a car and driver from them for 1500bht to drive me 100km back to my house it was a bit rip off If you drop in and see some off the guys at Erics bar they may be able help you find something cheaper Rigger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boo Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 we used budget in KK airport & had a really nice aircon automatic car with stereo & cd player, they delivered to our hotel & for 9 days we paid 11k baht but was worth it for the comfort & convenience. That works out at just over 1.2k baht a day with main driver & one named driver, fully comp insurance plus excess waiver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
