Toyota Veloz in Thailand
We rented a Toyota Veloz in Thailand at Suvarnabhumi Airport. We rented a car for 6 people, so we needed a seven-seater. We spent a few days in Pattaya, then moved to Koh Chang. In general, everything went well, we did not cause any damage to the environment and the car.😁 At the airport we were met by a representative of the company in the place where agreed and on time, handed us the car, signed the contract. I would like to warn future car renters at Suvarnabhumi airport: very serious traffic and complicated junctions, it will be very difficult without a lot of driving experience. We got lost both when we were leaving and when we were driving back. Google navigator shows the junctions not accurately, Yandex is lost in space. I recommend to see the junctions in advance in Google or on video somewhere. There are no special remarks on the car, mileage 24000 km, the engine 1,5 liter is weak for a seven-seater. On a smooth road goes 90-110 km/h normally, further does not pull. On Koh Chang the roads are mountain serpentine, it is very hard to drive uphill with 6 people, we had to turn off the air conditioner to overcome the rises. But the fuel consumption of the car on the highway is about 5l/100 km. In general, if you want to drive in the mountains, you should take something more powerful, if the road is more or less level, this car, as an option for 6 people will do. The day before the return I called the representative of the company, agreed on the time and place of meeting (on the 4th floor of Suvarnabhumi airport at the departure hall. The representative met us, inspected the car, returned the deposit. We would like to thank the company representative and TakeCars staff for the opportunity to rent the car. Thank you!

Toyota Yaris Ativ in Thailand
On receipt and return of the car everything was fine. But the car itself was not in the best technical condition, the problem was apparently in the gearbox or in the engine in general, the car did not accelerate well, and during a sharp gain of speed you could smell the smell of burning in the cabin. But it did not spoil our trip). I will give 5 out of 5 for the service and 3,5 for the technical condition of the car.
Toyota Yaris Ativ in Thailand
everything was great, maybe only one point I can note that the guy who handed the car to me at the airport did not speak English at all 😁 but this is a nuance, everything else is just great, fast, clear, no additional costs and problems) thank you very much!
Toyota Yaris Ativ in Thailand

Toyota Yaris Ativ in Thailand
Overall 3 with a minus. The car was given class C instead of rented A. The condition of the car is normal, although it is definitely worth to undergo service, as the suspension rattled, the wheels are unbalanced, there was an impression that they will fly off to the sides at speeds over 100 km/h. Several things marred the rental: 1. When renting the car was transferred to the paid parking lot of the airport, on my question whether it is necessary to pay for parking the girl said No problem. At the exit it turned out that the parking lot must be paid -150 baht. 2. Return the car should be with a full tank. The contract does not specify penalties for an empty tank. On the way to the airport was nowhere to refuel, and the tank was at the end of the trip a quarter. Well, I think, I will pay for a full tank of 1500 baht and that's the end of it. But they started demanding 2000 from me. Why what - just give me 2000. I had in the dates was 1700 - I say take 1700 is still more than the cost of the tank. They are not in what kind of like go to the direction or 2000. The woman who took the car did not understand English. In general the result - I exchanged the money at an unfavorable rate and gave them 2000. The manager started to teach me what to do to avoid wasting their time. The main claim that the fine and the amount of the fine is not written in the contract. So it was taken from the ceiling.
