Car rental for a trip to Damnoen Saduak and Amphawa

This page lists 43 of our Bangkok cars, from ฿1,050 to ฿5,850 a day, and Rent-Trip delivers the one you pick to any address in the city.

What car rental in Bangkok for a trip to Damnoen Saduak and Amphawa gives you

Damnoen Saduak is liveliest between 07:00 and 09:00, while Amphawa opens Friday to Sunday from 15:00 to 22:00, so the return leg lands after dark. A hired car turns that into a single loop with your own luggage in the boot and no timetable to miss.

What Rent-Trip puts on this page

We list 43 cars on this page, from ฿1,050 to ฿5,850 per day, spread across four classes.

• Comfort: 10 cars from ฿1,050 per day — sedans such as the Honda Accord, Mazda 3 and Toyota Corolla Altis for two to five people.
• Crossovers: 12 cars from ฿1,100 per day — the Mazda CX-30, MG ZS, Toyota Yaris Cross and Nissan Kicks e-Power.
• Minivans: 11 cars from ฿1,300 per day — the Toyota Veloz, Mitsubishi Xpander and Toyota Commuter, seating seven to twelve.
• Weekly and monthly: weekly from ฿6,300 and monthly from ฿22,050, both lower per day than the daily rate.

Every car on this page is right-hand drive, because Thai traffic keeps to the left. We deliver to any address in Bangkok and to Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK) and Don Mueang Airport (DMK); the delivery address, date and time are agreed with a manager before the booking is fixed, and a delivery fee, if any, is agreed at the same point.

Car rental in Bangkok for a trip to Damnoen Saduak and Amphawa class choice

Four classes, four jobs. Match the car to headcount and luggage rather than to the badge on the grille — the run west is 80.8 km to Amphawa and 93 km to Damnoen Saduak, and nobody in the back wants to sit knee-to-knee that far.

Classes and what each one is for

Named models for this route

• Toyota Commuter: 12 seats, diesel, automatic, ฿2,150/day — a full minibus for a group that splits the bill twelve ways.
• Nissan Kicks e-Power: hybrid crossover, ฿1,900/day — a hybrid option for the return leg when you leave Amphawa after dark.

A 7-seat MPV costs less per seat than two separate sedans once the group splits the bill — and one car means one driver parks once at each market instead of two hunting for spaces. If you are unsure between a crossover and an SUV, tell the manager your headcount, luggage and whether anyone in the party needs a third row, and the class is settled before the booking is fixed.

Rates for car rental in Bangkok for a trip to Damnoen Saduak and Amphawa

Daily rates on this page run from ฿1,050 to ฿5,850, and the longer you keep the car, the less each day costs. The figures below are what we charge for the floating markets run — the cheapest way in is a Comfort sedan, the most expensive a Toyota Alphard or Vellfire at ฿5,850.

Daily, weekly and monthly rates

Daily rates run ฿1,050–฿5,850. Weekly starts from ฿6,300, which is the daily rate multiplied by six, and monthly from ฿22,050, the daily rate multiplied by twenty-one. For a one- or two-day Damnoen Saduak and Amphawa run the daily band is what matters — but if the capital is your base for a longer stretch of travel, the weekly figure is the one to compare against. Rates are lower per day on weekly and monthly bookings than on a daily one.

What the price already includes

• VAT 7%: already inside every figure shown, so the rate you see is the rate you pay.
• Compulsory insurance (Por Ror Bor): attached to every registered car and covers injury to third parties.
• Class 1 insurance: covers damage to the car itself; its terms and the excess are set out in the rental agreement.
• Security hold: taken on a bank card in the main driver's name; the amount is set out in the rental agreement.

Booking and payment terms

A bank card in the main driver's name is what the security hold is taken on, and the amount is set out in the rental agreement rather than quoted here. The minimum driver age is 21; conditions for drivers under 25 and for premium classes are set out in the agreement. 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.

Route for car rental in Bangkok to Damnoen Saduak and Amphawa

Distance and driving time

Damnoen Saduak is 93 km by road from the centre and Amphawa 80.8 km. Speed limits on the way out are 80 km/h in built-up areas, 90 km/h outside them, and 120 km/h on the motorways, so the trip is less about distance than about when you leave. Damnoen Saduak is liveliest between 07:00 and 09:00, and Amphawa's market runs Friday to Sunday from 15:00 to 22:00, so a morning at the first and an evening at the second fit one day, with the return leg after dark.

Tolls and how to pay them

Payment is cash or a tag — Easy Pass and M-PASS are interchangeable, but one tag per car. On M-Flow, the barrier-free sections, an unregistered driver has two days to pay by plate through the M-Flow site, app, QR code, bank or ATM; from the third day the tariff doubles, then it becomes the tariff plus twice the tariff plus a penalty of ten times the tariff. Ask at hand-over whether a tag is fitted to your car and how the tolls will be settled. Fuel on the way: gasohol 95 at ฿39.94 a litre, gasohol 91 at ฿39.57, E20 at ฿34.94, E85 at ฿30.88, diesel B7 at ฿41.44, diesel B20 at ฿36.44, premium 98 at ฿49.29 and premium diesel at ฿50.05 at Bangchak retail, before the provincial Bangkok tax.

Paperwork for car rental in Bangkok to Damnoen Saduak and Amphawa

Thailand keeps traffic on the left and every car is right-hand drive, so the first hour behind the wheel on the way out to Ratchaburi feels like a mirror image of home. The paperwork side is shorter than most travellers expect: a home driving licence, an International Driving Permit, a passport and a bank card in the main driver's name.

What a foreign driver needs to carry

• Home driving licence: your national licence, valid and not expired, travels with you alongside the permit.
• International Driving Permit: the 1949 Geneva Convention document, required under section 42 bis of the Motor Vehicle Act for visitors from outside ASEAN.
• ASEAN nationals: a national licence is enough — no permit and no conversion needed.
• Passport and bank card: the passport is your ID, and a bank card in the main driver's name is used for the security hold.

The minimum driver age is 21.

Insurance on a Thai-registered car

Two layers sit on every car we hand over. Compulsory motor insurance (Por Ror Bor) is attached to the registration and covers injury to third parties — it travels with the vehicle, not with the driver. First-class (Class 1) insurance covers damage to the car itself; its terms and the excess are set out in the rental agreement.

Speed limits on the run west are 80 km/h in built-up areas, 90 km/h outside them, 120 km/h on the motorway and 110 km/h on the expressways. Children under 6 must ride in a TISI-standard child seat, and everyone in the car wears a seatbelt, including the back row.

Camera fines are issued to the car owner and re-invoiced to the renter, so a ticket picked up near Damnoen Saduak reaches you after the trip. Ask the manager at booking how that is handled, and keep the delivery address, the date and the time confirmed before the booking is fixed.

Booking car rental in Bangkok for a trip to Damnoen Saduak and Amphawa

We bring the car to you — that is how this route starts. The delivery address, the date and the time are agreed with a manager before the booking is fixed, and any delivery fee is agreed at the same moment.

Where we can bring the car in Bangkok

• Any address in Bangkok: a hotel, a condo, a private house — the exact spot is agreed when booking, not picked by us on the day.
• Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK): the car can be waiting when you land, so the run west starts straight from the terminal.
• Don Mueang Airport (DMK): the same arrangement for arrivals on the low-cost carriers that use this airport.
• Elsewhere: delivery outside these points is arranged case by case and is not promised on the site — ask the manager and you will get a straight answer.

What you need at hand-over

• Passport: the main driver's, brought to the hand-over.
• Home driving licence: plus an International Driving Permit under the 1949 Geneva Convention — section 42 bis of the Motor Vehicle Act — unless you hold an ASEAN national licence.
• Bank card in the main driver's name: used for the security hold; the amount is set out in the rental agreement, not quoted here.
• Minimum age: 21. Conditions for drivers under 25 and for premium classes are set out in the agreement.

The agreement itself is a contract controlled by the OCPB since 30 December 2025: it is written in Thai, and every fee and penalty is disclosed inside it.

Insurance works in two layers on a Thai-registered car. Compulsory motor insurance, Por Ror Bor, covers injury to third parties and is attached to every registered car. First-class insurance covers damage to the car itself, and its terms and the excess are set out in the rental agreement.

Traffic-camera fines are issued to the car owner and re-invoiced to the renter, so keep to the limits on the highway out west.
