What to keep in mind when renting a car in Thailand
The minimum age to rent a car is 21 years old and with some suppliers for people over 75 years of age, this can be different between car categories. Young driver surcharges may apply to many car rental companies for people under 21 years of age. Different vehicle groups have different driver age restrictions, which are automatically applied to all online rental searches. If you have entered your correct age and the online search results in a specific vehicle group, you are eligible to rent it. Please note that the same restrictions apply to all additional drivers. This information is visible in the search engine with Orbit Car Hire. Accidents are something we do not control, therefore it is important to keep in mind what kind of coverage you have. At Orbit Car Hire, you can buy additional coverage so you can travel around Thailand without worry. In Thailand, you drive on the right side of the road. For the countries that drive on the left lane, this can be confusing but good to know before you begin the journey.

This ensures that the prices of airline tickets to Bangkok are very reasonable and the service is very good.

One Way Rental in Thailand
When finding offers through Orbit and its top brands, you can pick up the car at one location in Thailand and return to another location. A one-way fee may apply, and they are included in Orbit Car Hire deals when searching for a one-way trip. Our car rental companies in Thailand do not offer to return the car in another country, however, you can find domestic one-way rental options.
What travel adapter do I need for Thailand?
Most electrical outlets in Thailand support one of three different types of plugs, type A, B and C. However, there are still some older buildings that only support two plugs (type A and C).
Although you do not have to worry about this as most modern hotels use outlets that support both two-pin and three-pin (grounded) plugs, it's best to have an adapter with you that will allow you to use the two-pin outlets, just in case.
Do you have to tip in Thailand?
Tip about 10% of the bill, and round up as you would at home. If you are eating at an upscale restaurant and the bill is higher, you can ignore the 10% rule and tip based on the experience, but at least 100 baht. Always check the bill and see if a service charge has been added. If a service charge has been added, you do not need to tip.
Would you tip if you had a not-so-good waiter at home? Yes, you would probably tip, but you would just tip less. If you had a great waiter, you would tip a little more. And if you had a terrible waiter and a terrible dining experience, you probably would not tip. The same goes for tipping in Thai restaurants.
