Car rental facilities are available in Hua Hin at affordable prices from the airport and hotels. A valid passport, credit card and a driving license at least a year old is required to hire a car. Cars cannot be rented under 25 years.
Cars may be rented with or without drivers and can be hired for travelling to different destinations within the city and nearby areas. Most traffic signs are in both Thai and English. Thailand follows a left hand drive. It’s better to drive defensively, especially during night as local people hardly use headlights.
The most common brands available are various models of Toyota and Honda including SUVs, sedans and small cars. Child seats and GPS are available on request which usually cost extra.
While making a reservation it is important to know what type of insurance is included in the rental. It is also better to choose an option which provides unlimited mileage. Rates typically include a 7% VAT.
