Changan car rental in Bangkok
A week of temple-hopping, mall-hopping and late-night street food in Bangkok is easier when the car is already waiting at your hotel. We rent Changan cars in Bangkok — two electric models, the Deepal L07 sedan and the Deepal S07 crossover, from ฿1,250 per day.
Which Changan models you can rent in Bangkok
We keep two Changan Deepal cars in the city, and both are electric. Rent-Trip runs the L07 sedan and the S07 crossover — no petrol Changan, no manual gearbox, no third body style to choose between. The pair covers the same job: five seats, automatic, rear-wheel drive, 218 hp, delivered to your address.
The two Deepal models in our fleet
We offer two Changan Deepal cars here — the L07 sedan and the S07 crossover, both electric, 5 seats, automatic, rear-wheel drive, 218 hp. Both sit in the same Electric class and share the same drivetrain, so the choice comes down to body shape and rate rather than performance.
Changan Deepal L07 and S07 compared
| Model | Body | Seats | Transmission | Power | Price per day |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Changan Deepal L07 | Sedan | 5 | Automatic | 218 hp | ฿1,250 |
| Changan Deepal S07 | Crossover | 5 | Automatic | 218 hp | ฿2,300 |
What both models have in common
- Automatic transmission: every Changan on this page is automatic — no manual option is offered.
- Five seats: driver plus four passengers, with a rear bench in both bodies.
- Right-hand drive: Thailand drives on the left, and both cars are right-hand drive as registered here.
Pick the L07 when the daily rate matters more than cabin height — the ฿1,050 gap per day adds up over a week, and the sedan still takes five people.
What Changan car rental in Bangkok costs
Rates for our two electric Deepal models sit between ฿1,250 and ฿2,300 per day, and a longer booking lowers the cost per day.
Daily, weekly and monthly rates
Hiring a Changan starts at ฿1,250 per day for the L07 and ฿2,300 for the S07, with weekly from ฿7,500 and monthly from ฿26,250. The weekly figure follows daily × 6 and the monthly figure follows daily × 21, which is why a week of the L07 works out at ฿7,500 rather than seven separate daily charges. The same arithmetic applied to the S07 gives ฿13,800 weekly and ฿48,300 monthly. VAT 7% is already inside every price we show, so the number on the booking is the number you pay for the car itself.
| Model | Per day | Per week (daily × 6) | Per month (daily × 21) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Changan Deepal L07 | ฿1,250 | ฿7,500 | ฿26,250 |
| Changan Deepal S07 | ฿2,300 | ฿13,800 | ฿48,300 |
What the price includes
- Rental period: available from 1 day, so a single day in the city is a normal booking.
- Security hold: taken on a bank card in the main driver's name; the amount is set out in the rental agreement.
- Delivery: the address, date and time are agreed with a manager before the booking is fixed, and a delivery fee, if any, is agreed when booking.
The L07 covers the same 218 hp and the same 5 seats, so the crossover body is what you are paying the extra ฿1,050 a day for.
Documents and licence rules for Changan car rental in Bangkok
Legal paperwork on this page is short and fixed by Thai law, so the same two documents apply whether you take the L07 or the S07. What changes is the driver, not the model.
Licence and IDP requirements
A foreign visitor needs a home driving licence plus an International Driving Permit issued under the 1949 Geneva Convention, as required by section 42 bis of the Motor Vehicle Act. Police fine for driving without a valid permit runs ฿500–1,000, and an insurer may refuse a claim after an incident, which matters more than the fine itself. Traffic keeps to the left here and every car is right-hand drive, including both Changan Deepal models in our fleet, so the first hour on Sukhumvit or Silom takes getting used to.
Who can drive without an IDP
- ASEAN national licence: citizens of ASEAN countries drive on their national licence, with no permit and no conversion needed.
- Minimum driver age: 21 for Changan car rental in Bangkok, on both the L07 and the S07.
- Drivers under 25: conditions for younger drivers are set out in the rental agreement.
- Documents at booking: passport, home driving licence, International Driving Permit unless you hold an ASEAN licence, and a bank card in the main driver's name for the security hold.
Where the paperwork is settled
Everything above is agreed with a manager before the booking is fixed, and the delivery address, date and time are confirmed in the same conversation. The agreement itself is a contract controlled by the OCPB since 30 December 2025: it is written in Thai, and all fees and penalties are disclosed in it. Camera fines are issued to the car owner and re-invoiced to the renter, so an unpaid speeding ticket on Motorway 7 reaches you through us rather than through the police. Read the fee schedule before you sign — that is where the young-driver conditions and the security hold amount actually live, and the amount is set out in the rental agreement rather than quoted here.
How delivery works for Changan car rental in Bangkok
Changan car rental with Rent-Trip starts before the car reaches you: the delivery address, the date and the time are agreed with a manager, and only then is the booking fixed. We bring the car to you rather than asking you to collect it.
Where we deliver the car
- Any address in Bangkok: home, hotel or apartment — the exact point is agreed with a manager when you book.
- Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK): the main international gateway, about 25 km from downtown, so the car can be waiting when you land.
- Don Mueang Airport (DMK): on Vibhavadi Rangsit Road, the low-cost hub for Thai AirAsia, Nok Air and Thai Lion Air.
- Krung Thep Aphiwat Central Terminal: the main railway station since 19.01.2023, on the Chatuchak/Bang Sue boundary.
- Elsewhere: arranged case by case and not promised on the site.
What is agreed before the car arrives
The delivery address, the date and the time are agreed with a manager before the booking is fixed, and a delivery fee, if any, is agreed at the same moment.
Charging and the first drive away
Both Changan Deepal models are electric, so the first question after hand-over is where the car gets its power. Plan the first charge before you set off, and ask the manager at booking which connector the car takes. If your delivery point is one of the airports, allow for the drive into town before you plan a charge: Suvarnabhumi sits about 25 km from downtown, Don Mueang about 20.5 km in a straight line. Traffic keeps to the left and every car is right-hand drive, so give yourself the first ten minutes on a quiet soi before joining Sukhumvit or Silom.
Changan car rental in Bangkok for electric driving in traffic
Local traffic keeps to the LEFT and every car is right-hand drive, so the steering wheel sits on the right.
Speed limits and what the cameras watch
- Built-up areas: the limit is 80 km/h in built-up areas, and the city counts as one throughout.
- Outside built-up areas: 90 km/h applies once you leave the urban zone.
- Expressways: 110 km/h on the EXAT expressways, and 100 km/h on elevated sections.
- Speed cameras: on Motorway 7 the 120 km/h limit is enforced primarily by speed cameras, and how a camera fine is handled is set out in the rental agreement.
Charging, tolls and parking on an electric car
Charging is the one habit that separates an electric hire from a petrol one: plan the charge around your day rather than topping up when the battery warns you. Toll payment on the EXAT expressways and Motorway 7 is by cash or a tag — Easy Pass and M-PASS both work and the tags are interchangeable, but one car carries one tag, so ask at hand-over which is fitted. The Low Emission Zone does not touch a 5-seat electric car — it applies only to vehicles with 6 or more wheels, and EVs sit on the exemption list anyway.
Insurance, fines and the rental agreement
Every registered car in Thailand carries compulsory motor insurance, known as Por Ror Bor, which pays for injury to third parties. On top of that, Class 1 insurance covers damage to the vehicle itself.
What the insurance covers
- Por Ror Bor: compulsory cover attached to every registered car, paying for injury to third parties after an accident.
- Class 1 insurance: covers damage to the Changan Deepal you are driving; the terms and the excess are set out in the rental agreement.
- Security hold: taken on a bank card in the main driver's name, with the amount set out in the agreement.
Licence rules that affect a claim
A foreign visitor needs a home driving licence plus an International Driving Permit under the 1949 Geneva Convention; citizens of ASEAN countries may drive on their national licence instead. The police fine for driving without a valid permit is ฿500–1,000.
Traffic keeps to the left in Bangkok and every car is right-hand drive, including both Deepal models.
How fines and contracts work
Since 30 December 2025 a car rental agreement in Thailand is a contract controlled by the OCPB. It is written in Thai, and all fees and penalties are disclosed in it.
Conditions for drivers under 25 and for premium classes are set out in the agreement, as is the minimum driver age of 21. Where a delivery fee applies, it is agreed when booking. For anything the agreement does not spell out — the deposit amount, the exact excess, what Class 1 covers in a specific case — the answer is in that document, not in a figure we quote here.
Booking Changan car rental in Bangkok step by step
Booking is a short chain of confirmations rather than a checkout form. You send the dates, we check the two Deepal cars against the calendar and come back with a fixed offer.
What to send us first
- Dates and times: the day and hour you want the car, and the day and hour you return it — the rate depends on the length of the booking.
- Model: Changan Deepal L07 at ฿1,250 per day or Changan Deepal S07 at ฿2,300 per day; if either is free, we say so.
- Delivery address: any address in Bangkok, Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK) or Don Mueang Airport (DMK) — the exact spot, date and time are agreed with a manager before the booking is fixed.
- Driver details: minimum driver age is 21; conditions for drivers under 25 are set out in the rental agreement.
- Documents: passport, home driving licence, International Driving Permit unless you hold an ASEAN national licence, and a bank card in the main driver's name.
How the confirmation works
We answer with the model, the daily rate and the total for your dates. Weekly bookings are charged as daily × 6 and monthly as daily × 21, so the longer the booking, the lower the cost per day; VAT 7% is already included in the prices shown. The security hold is taken on a bank card in the main driver's name, and the amount is set out in the rental agreement. Since 30 December 2025 a car rental agreement is a contract controlled by the OCPB: it is written in Thai, and all fees and penalties are disclosed inside it. That is the document worth reading before you drive away, not after.
