Top tips for hiring a car at Bangkok Suvarnabhumi Airport
Bangkok is the capital city of Thailand, a popular holiday destination for many people all over the world. Bangkok is teeming with places to visit, temples to see and markets to peruse, and car hire at Bangkok Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK) is an ideal opportunity to take yourself around the city. Using a car hire in Bangkok means avoiding a long wait at the airport for public transport or taxis. You won't have to barter with taxi drivers or deal with chaotic minibus drivers hurtling along the city streets.
When returning your Bangkok Suvarnabhumi Airport car hire, all you need to do is follow the signs when approaching the airport. Head towards the car hire parking garage and drive to the company you hired the car from. Because these companies operate out of the airport, there are rarely times when they're closed, so you'll be able to drop the vehicle off at any time without incurring extra costs, provided it’s the time and day you agreed to.
Bangkok Suvarnabhumi Airport is one of the busiest airports in Thailand, with millions of passengers commuting to and from the airport regularly. When picking up your car hire or dropping it off, we suggest giving yourself plenty of extra time to cater for possible delays in the process. It's best to book online before arriving and make sure you have all your paperwork ready to speed up the process.
Bangkok traffic is some of the busiest in the world, so travel times can end up being longer than expected and you'll spend a fair amount of time in traffic. For this reason, smaller and more fuel-efficient cars are often the best choice when hiring a car in Bangkok. There are a wide variety of modern compact and economy cars available through car hire companies at the airport.

Bangkok Suvarnabhumi Airport car rental reviews and directory
Smooth process. The first car we had experienced mechanical problems and was changed with no hassle. They also accommodated us because we had to take the car for 1 week rather than 2 days as was initially planned. Only downside is I think it would be best if the app would make you aware of the 10000 baht deposit. Also it cost me 10$ more a day because the car we selected (a Yaris) before arrival was not available so we got a Honda City instead which was more expensive.
