Top tips for renting a car at Chiang Rai airport
- Mae Fah Luang Chiang Rai Airport (CEI) is one of the largest airports in Thailand and the main airport for Northern Thailand. It is about an 8-minute drive from the heart of Chiang Rai and a 3 hour drive from Chiang Mai (the largest city in Thailand). You can rent a car from a variety of car rental companies at Chiang Rai Airport. This includes SIXT, Budget, Avis, Europcar, and Hertz. There is a transportation counter in the arrival hall where all of the car rental kiosks are located.
- Although there is an abundance of taxis and tuk-tuks (Thailand transport) at the airport, having your own rental car will make it convenient to get to charming towns and hidden tourist spots in Northern Thailand. It will also give you the freedom to travel when you want. Chiang Rai Airport car hires are on the first floor of the terminal in the arrival hall and right across from the domestic and international arrival lounges.
- A Chiang Rai Airport car hire is convenient. You can go right from the plane to the rental car kiosk to pick up your car. The hours for the car rental companies at this location vary. Europcar and Hertz are open a little longer than some of the other rental car agencies. They are open 7 days a week from 8 am to 8 pm. If you need to return your car after the rental agency is closed, you'll have to make arrangements with them to do so. Some agencies allow a late return and some do not.
- You'll head right outdoors to Gate #2 to pick up your car rental at Chiang Rai Airport. This is the same place where you'll return your rental car. You can find the best deal for a car rental by comparing rental car companies on KAYAK. Along with easy price comparisons, you can add affordable amenities to your car hire bookings such as roadside assistance, infant/toddler/child car seats, rail racks, and GPS to help you navigate the city and region.
- Book your rental car at Chiang Rai airport at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price

Pros:
Vehicle size was exactly what we needed for four adults with luggage.Cons:
Expected on airport office, or representative to meet us. Had to ask around to find out where the in town office was, and the hire a cab to get there and rent the vehicle. Confusion on turn-in. I was told a Budget rep would pick up the car at our hotel by Chiang Rai rep. When I called for pick-up in Chiang Mai I was told they did not pick up. Eventually they relented and picked up the car. Car pick-up person in Chiang Mai expected me to pay the rental fee even though I had already paid in Chaing Rai. Good thing I had the receipt to prove payment.keddy by Europcar
