When to book a car hire in Chiang Mai
Car hire excess insurance in Chiang Mai
Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) & Theft Protection Waiver
Collision damage waiver and theft protection are insurance options that cover renters from paying high penalty fees if the car is stolen or returned damaged. Some Chiang Mai car providers already include Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) and Theft Protection Waiver into the rental price but not all of them. We recommend always be aware of your coverage when renting a car in in Chiang Mai.
Deductible
Keep in mind that car hire excess insurances often have a deductible clause, which is the amount you’ll have to pay if something happens during the time of your rental. If you want to avoid unwanted surprises, you should consider adding a no-deductible option to your Chiang Mai car rental.
Top tips for hiring a car in Chiang Mai
- Chiang Mai is the largest city in the north of Thailand and home to hundreds of Buddhist temples, both in and around the city. Chiang Mai is the gateway to the northern villages of the country, which you can visit by car while using Chiang Mai as a base. When travelling around Chiang Mai, you can easily access the temples and the nearby mountains more conveniently with a Chiang Mai car hire. Car hire in Chiang Mai will give you flexibility for travelling on day trips around the area. Although there is a great bus system, buses can be limiting if you wish to visit different spots in the surrounding areas. Close to Chiang Mai is the highest mountain peak in ancient Thailand, Doi Inthanon, and around the area are national parks and ancient temples. The 13th- and 14th-century temples that are far easier to reach by car include Wat Phra That Doi Suthep, Wat Umong Suan Phutthatham, Wat Pha Lat and more.
