When driving in Chiang Mai, we recommend a compact car, such as a Nissan Almera, Honda Fit or something similar, for ease of accessibility, parking and driving through narrow and busy streets.
In Chiang Mai, the speed limit is determined by which area you are driving in or the type of road. In the city and towns, the default speed limit is 60 km/h; this increases to 90 km/h when you’re in the country; and on the motorways, you can reach up to 120 km/h.

There are several small areas around Chiang Mai city, such as Paiboon Car Park, Warorot Market, Banthai Village Parking Lot, Raming Lodge Carpark, Malarat Car Park as well as many small, unnamed car parking areas.

Pros:
We enjoyed the prompt response of the staff to our requests. We booked the car online half an hour before the pick up. We picked up in the wrong office but they got us the car very quickly. We received detailed info about the car, the rental conditions and insurance before signing the contract. For dropoff, the staff was kind enough to drive us to the airport. Totally recommend.2.0 Poor

Pros:
The effort the lady at the counter made to rectify the problem.Cons:
I booked an SUV but was given a Toyota Double Cab truck. I was contemplating taking it anyway however the tires were dangerously worn and unsafe to drive so I decided against it. This resulted in an hour delay to change vehicles.2 locations in Chiang Mai
