KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Pattaya
- Booking your car hire in Pattaya is an exciting experience, as the roads are always buzzing with movement and energy. Avoid catching public transport that is sometimes unreliable and hard to understand if you are not familiar if the Thai langue. There are some stunning day trips you can go on that are easily reachable by car, such as Koh Lan (Coral Island), which will be a welcome change of pace from the busy beaches of Pattaya. Or head to The Sanctuary of Truth and Thai cultural dance and martial arts performance.
- A nearby airport to Pattaya is U-Tapao–Rayong–Pattaya International Airport (UTP), which is around 31.2 km away. Collecting your car hire in Pattaya directly from the airport is a convenient choice to get your Thailand adventure started without delays. You'll find the car hire desks are located behind the security checkpoint in the domestic arrivals terminal of the airport. Some Pattaya car hire companies at the airport are specifically geared towards a certain type of car; for example, Wanathana Company Limited specialises in limousines and vans.
- Driving your car hire in Pattaya can seem like an overwhelming task for inexperienced drivers, but soon you'll get used to the flow of things. Roads are crowded and tend to move forward without taking note of the road lines. You need to look out for motorbikes, scooters and tuk-tuks. There are loads of three-wheel and two-wheel vehicles on the roads weaving in and out of traffic, which can be distracting at times.
- You'll find that driving close to the city centre, the traffic is highly congested, morning to night. It only slows down in the late evenings around 22:00 and starts up again around 06:00. The road system has a complicated layout and most side roads are not well maintained, and you'll find a lot of local drivers seem to have no regard for the rules of the road.
- Book your rental car in Pattaya at least 4 days before your trip in order to get a below-average price
- Economy rental cars in Pattaya are around 29% cheaper than other car types, on average

What type of car is recommended for driving in Pattaya?
Due to the extreme conditions of driving in Pattaya, it's best you pick a small or company car. Smaller cars are easier to manoeuvre in tight spaces, which you'll find on small side streets. Navigating through highly congested traffic jams in a smaller car is also easier, as smaller cars are lighter for the stop-start nature of heavy traffic. Small cars are also easier on fuel consumption in traffic than bigger cars, which will come in handy if you are travelling on a budget.
What’s the speed limit in Pattaya?
When driving your car hire in Pattaya, it might seem like there are no official speed limits, but this is untrue. It's best for you to follow the rules of the roads no matter what other drivers are doing around you, to avoid getting traffic fines. When driving in all major cities, including Pattaya, most roads are 60 km/h. Driving on open roads further from the city centre means reaching speeds of 90 km/h, and you'll be able to reach 120 km/h on motorways and highways.
Where are the best places to park in Pattaya?
Parking on the street in Pattaya can be tricky, as parking zones are not often marked; however, there is a fair amount of street parking available. If you see a parking attendant, they will usually let you know how much parking will be for that stop and for how long you can park there, but typically the on-street parking is free. Heading to a car park might be a bit less daunting. There is a multi-storey car park right in the heart of the Bali Hai area, and there are two car parks at Bali Hai pier.

Pros:
The car was in good shape and fairy clean.Cons:
After the drop off they asked me for more money. It was 55 Baht more so if you change it to dollars is not much.. But still, I signed a different price at the beginning. I don't think is fair to sign for a set price at the pick up and when you drop it off they tell you that they made a mistake and you have to pay more.. after you used it for the whole day. That'd be my only complain and I am very upset about it because the mistake with the price wasn't my fault. Now I have 2 different charges on my credit card.National
