Toyota Yaris Ativ in Thailand
Everything went great. The company was very friendly. At my request they shifted the date by a day, delivered and picked up the car at the hotel without unnecessary formalities. The car without problems, really just a Toyota Yaris, not Ativ and probably not 23 years old. The first time on an automatic and even with right-hand drive I had a successful ride, thank you!
Nissan Note in Thailand
Everything went perfectly, receiving the car and returning it, the Joey company representative was always in touch and answered any questions promptly, just a special thank you to him, I definitely recommend this company 👌
Toyota Yaris Ativ in Thailand
We rented a car in Thailand through takecars.com. The choice of cars is convenient, all information is on the site. For more information you can directly write to the lessor. My question was answered quickly. I liked that the website clearly states what is included in the rental amount and the type of insurance. There is no mileage restriction and we did not have to pay extra for the possibility of traveling to other provinces of Thailand (other similar sites asked a lot of extra for this), as we traveled to Phuket, for us it was a significant plus. We received our car at the airport in Bangkok. Everything went quickly, clearly, without overlaps. We were sent accurate information about the meeting place and the amount of extra payment in baht (we paid for the car through the website in rubles). The car itself was not new (year of manufacture is indicated on the site), with small dents on the body, which were fixed during the transfer. The chassis, of course, requires repair, something occasionally knocked, but it did not prevent us on the road. To be fair, it should be said that it was the cheapest car of this brand from those offered on the site. The return was also quick and hassle free. We did not contact support, there was no need. Overall: the impression from booking on the website and the process of handing over the car is positive (5 out of 5), the car is not in the best technical condition (3 out of 5).
Honda City in Thailand
It was fine, but I didn't get the Honda City, as it had an accident a couple days before I rented it. I got a Toyota Yaris Ativ instead, which I didn't want to rent, even though it was cheaper by 100 baht per day. Because it has a very poor equipment, air conditioner blows either in the legs or in the body, and for hot Thailand good air conditioning in the car is number one. In general as a result I blew out my right ear and it was very painful, and still it is not cured till the end, still periodically it lodges. With music in the car also problems, konektakila magnet only with an iPhone, and we all have android, in general traveled throughout Thailand without music, on the phone listened to 🤦♂️. Engine 1,2 liters also does not shine sharpness, on the passes of Patong had to push the accelerator to the floor. In general, the car in all parameters lost to Honda, but there was no other choice, we reported the day before the lease and there was no time to look for something else. Otherwise we drove about 2500km around Thailand, the car did not let us down.
Honda City in Thailand
Everything was excellent, the car was served at the airport, full tank, clean interior, the car in perfect technical condition, drove it 3500 km without any problems. The air conditioner was refueled. Acceptance and issuance of the car took 10 minutes in total. The deposit was also returned without any problems
Nissan Note in Thailand
Everything was good. The company was helpful and friendly. The car was clean and in good condition. It was an uneventful drive
Toyota Corolla Altis in Thailand
Checkout and refund with no problems. Got in touch with Joey through WA. The car is horrible. I knew it would be 2016 and not 2022, never would have checked out such an old horrible car! Yellow dim headlights, no Bluetooth, only radio and CD. No climate control, no rear seat air conditioning. Rumble in the cabin the whole way like an AN-24 airplane.
Honda Jazz in Thailand
Everything is awesome.
Hyundai H1 in Thailand
Good service, everything on time, without the slightest delay. The car is clean, no complaints about the condition. We drove over 2tkm, everything is good. From the nuances: we had to be a little nervous, because the deposit took a very long time to return to the account (we paid by debit card). Perhaps the fault of the banks. But the guys were great, we are grateful to them and will recommend them.
Toyota Yaris Ativ in Thailand
Everything went perfectly. The car was technically serviceable. The car did not let me down, I drove it 2000 kilometers. Everything went perfectly, the car was delivered to the airport on time. Return in Bangkok to my address on time. Overall everything is excellent.
Toyota Yaris Ativ in Thailand
Everything went great! Very convenient website, we quickly found the option that suited us and placed the order, very cool that you can make a prepayment by card on the site. The order was processed quickly and the guys who were supposed to deliver the car wrote to us on WhatsApp. A very nice guy and a girl came, we looked at the car, recorded all the existing damage on video. On the spot the guys gave us something like a contract and kept one copy, talked through all the terms and conditions and communicated very politely. We were happy to drive around the island the same day and a few days later they asked for confirmation of the car. Everything was super prompt and the contract was honored by both parties, so we were very pleased with everything, thank you very much!

Driving in Thailand
In Thailand, vehicles are driven on the left side of the road. If you're more comfortable with a manual transmission at home, consider renting an automatic car for easier handling here. Always adhere to local driving laws to avoid fines and ensure a smooth journey.
Parking and Refueling Tips
Parking can be tricky in major cities, so always use designated parking spaces to avoid penalties. When refueling, choose high-quality fuel from reputable stations to maintain optimal vehicle performance. Thailand offers gasoline, diesel, and cost-effective gasohol options.
