Monthly car rental
Our fleet for monthly car rental in Bangkok holds 24 cars, from ฿700 to ฿1,250 per day, with monthly rates from ฿14,700. We deliver the car to any address in Bangkok, including Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK) and Don Mueang Airport (DMK), and the delivery address, date and time are agreed with a manager before the booking is fixed.
What monthly car rental in Bangkok costs and how the rate is built
Monthly car rental with us runs from ฿700 to ฿1,250 per day. The monthly figure is built from the daily rate, so the cheapest car on this page comes to ฿14,700 for a month.
How the monthly rate is calculated from the daily price
At Rent-Trip the monthly rate is the daily rate × 21, so the cheapest car on this page costs ฿14,700 for a month. The daily band itself is ฿700 to ฿1,250, and every car in that band is an automatic with five seats. A 30-day month billed at 21 daily rates means the longer you keep the car, the lower the effective cost per day — check the agreement for what a part-month is billed at.
Prices by class on this page
| Class | Cars | From, per day | From, per month |
|---|---|---|---|
| Economy | 14 | ฿700 | ฿14,700 |
| Electric | 7 | ฿1,050 | ฿22,050 |
| Crossovers | 2 | ฿1,100 | ฿23,100 |
| Comfort | 1 | ฿1,050 | ฿22,050 |
What is included in the price shown
VAT 7% is included in the prices shown, and the deposit, the excess and any delivery fee are set out in the rental agreement. That means the ฿700 on the Economy line is what you compare against, not a figure with tax added afterwards. Because the deposit and the excess are named in the agreement rather than on the page, read that line before you sign — it is the only place those figures exist.
What shifts the monthly cost up or down
- Class: stepping from Economy at ฿700 a day to Electric at ฿1,050 adds ฿7,350 across a 21-rate month.
- Length of booking: a weekly booking at daily × 6 already beats seven separate days, and the monthly rate at daily × 21 beats four weekly ones.
- Delivery: the address, date and time are agreed with a manager; a delivery fee, if any, is agreed when booking.
- Fuel or charging: petrol cars take gasohol at the pump, electric cars charge instead — where you charge overnight is worth settling before the month starts.
- Driving record: traffic-camera fines are issued to the car owner and re-invoiced to the renter, so a month of city driving can add costs the daily rate never shows.
If you drive four days a week and leave it outside the rest of the time, the monthly rate still works out below four separate weekly bookings, and the car stays yours for the whole stay.

How a monthly car rental in Bangkok is booked and delivered
Delivery to any address in the city
We deliver the car to any address in Bangkok, and to Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK) and Don Mueang Airport (DMK). Where you want the car is your call: a condo on Sukhumvit, a hotel near Silom and Sathorn, a serviced apartment in Siam and Pathum Wan, or a house out past Chatuchak. Delivery anywhere else in the country is arranged case by case and is not promised on the site, so ask the manager rather than assume.
What is agreed when you book
- Dates and address: the start day, the return day and the delivery point are confirmed with a manager before the booking is fixed.
- Documents: passport, home driving licence, International Driving Permit unless you hold an ASEAN licence, and a bank card in the main driver's name.
- Security hold: a bank card in the main driver's name is used for the security hold; the amount is set out in the rental agreement.
- Driver age: the minimum age is 21; conditions for drivers under 25 and for premium classes are set out in the rental agreement.
- Agreement: since 30 December 2025 a car rental agreement is a contract controlled by the OCPB, written in Thai, with all fees and penalties disclosed in it.
Picking the car up and keeping it for the month
The car comes clean with a full tank, and hire is available from 1 day, so a monthly booking is simply the long end of the same scale. Traffic in Thailand keeps to the LEFT and every car is right-hand drive — worth a slow first loop around the block before you join the expressway. Compulsory motor insurance (Por Ror Bor) covers injury to third parties and is attached to every registered car; first-class (Class 1) insurance covers damage to the car, 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. Set the return date at the start — a month is long enough that plans move.
Driving a rental car in Bangkok month after month
A month behind the wheel here rewrites your habits faster than any guidebook: you keep left, the steering wheel sits on your right, and the expressways stop being intimidating by week two. Below is what changes between the first day and the thirtieth.
The rules that catch visitors out
- Keep left: Thailand drives on the left and every car we hand over is right-hand drive, so your mirror checks and turns reverse on day one.
- Licence: a home driving licence plus an International Driving Permit (1949 Geneva Convention; section 42 bis of the Motor Vehicle Act) — the police fine for driving without one is ฿500–1,000, and an insurer may refuse a claim.
- ASEAN drivers: citizens of ASEAN countries may drive on their national licence, without an IDP.
- Speed limits: 80 km/h in built-up areas, 90 km/h outside them, 120 km/h on the motorway (M7, M9), 110 km/h on the expressways, 100 km/h on elevated sections.
- Child seats: children under 6 ride in a TISI-standard child seat; below 135 cm a belt or a special seat applies, with a fine of up to ฿2,000.
- Belts: every passenger buckles up, including the rear row.
What a month of driving actually costs you in fuel
Petrol at Bangchak retail runs ฿39.94 for gasohol 95, ฿39.57 for gasohol 91, ฿34.94 for E20, ฿30.88 for E85, ฿41.44 for diesel B7, ฿36.44 for diesel B20, ฿49.29 for premium 98 and ฿50.05 for premium diesel — per litre, without the provincial Bangkok levy.
Expressways, tolls and parking over thirty days
The EXAT urban expressways (Chaloem Maha Nakhon, Si Rat and others) take cash or an Easy Pass tag, and M-PASS works too — the tags are interchangeable, but one car carries one. A short expressway run is roughly ฿50–100 for a car. Motorway 7 heads for Pattaya — 149.3 km long, 125.865 km of it to Pattaya, with nine payment points and ฿105 from the Lat Krabang entry to Pattaya. Motorway 9 uses M-Flow, where a camera reads the plate and the bill follows: without registration you pay within two days, from day three the tariff doubles, and unpaid it grows into a penalty of ten times the tariff. Parking at CentralWorld is free for two hours, then ฿20 an hour, and ฿50 an hour after six; ICONSIAM gives two free hours, ฿30 for the third and ฿60 an hour after seven.
Two things a monthly driver should settle early
Ask at hand-over whether the M-Flow tag is linked to the car and how the bill is settled.
Documents, insurance and the rental agreement
Thailand keeps to the left and every car we hand over is right-hand drive — that is the first thing the paperwork has to fit. The documents themselves, the insurance behind the car and the agreement you sign are three separate things, and each one has its own rule. Here is what we can state plainly, and what is settled when you book.
What a foreign driver needs to carry
A foreign visitor needs a home driving licence plus an International Driving Permit under the 1949 Geneva Convention, section 42 bis of the Motor Vehicle Act. Citizens of ASEAN countries may drive on their national licence. Police fine for driving without the permit is ฿500–1,000, and an insurer may refuse a claim. Minimum driver age is 21; conditions for drivers under 25 and for premium classes are set out in the agreement. Carry passport, home driving licence, the permit unless you are an ASEAN citizen, and a bank card in the main driver's name.
Insurance on the car
Por Ror Bor is compulsory and rides with the registration of every car on Thai roads — it answers for injury caused to other people, not for the vehicle you are driving. Class 1 is the other layer: it answers for damage to the vehicle itself, and both its wording and the excess live in the rental agreement. The same document carries the security hold taken on a bank card in the main driver's name. Camera fines go to the registered keeper and are re-invoiced to whoever holds the car — on a month-long hire that matters, because a camera fine can reach the keeper long after the rental ends. We cannot quote a deposit figure or an excess figure here; both live in the agreement, and reading those two lines before you sign is the practical part.
The agreement itself
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 in it. VAT 7% is included in the prices shown.
Long-stay trips out of town with monthly car rental in Bangkok
A monthly car changes what a long stay in Bangkok can be: instead of booking a coach or a flight for every weekend away, you leave whenever you like and come back when the month is up. The out-of-town runs below are all reachable on the same car you rent by the month.
Where a monthly car takes you from Bangkok
- Pattaya: about 125.865 km down Motorway 7, a toll road with nine payment points — from the Lat Krabang entry a car pays ฿25 to Bang Bo, ฿100 to Pong and ฿105 to Pattaya.
- Hua Hin: south along the Gulf coast, the classic long-weekend run for anyone staying a month or more.
- Ayutthaya: the old capital to the north, close enough for a day trip on a car you already have parked outside.
- Kanchanaburi: west towards the river and the wartime railway, an easy overnight run.
- Ko Samet: the island run via the pier at Ban Phe, 202.4 km by road, with the car left on the mainland.
Tolls, parking and the paperwork behind the wheel
Motorway 7 runs past Suvarnabhumi Airport and is the main rental route out of the city towards Pattaya. Tolls on the Bangkok expressways are paid in cash or with an Easy Pass or M-PASS tag, and the two tags are interchangeable but only one can sit on a given car — so ask at hand-over whether a tag is fitted and how the charges reach you. On M-Flow, the barrier-free system on Motorway 9, a camera reads the plate and the bill follows; without registration it must be paid within two days, after which the rate doubles, then comes the tariff plus twice the tariff plus a penalty of ten times the tariff. Settle the M-Flow question when the car is handed to you rather than at the end of the month.
CentralWorld gives two hours free, then ฿20 an hour, rising to ฿50 an hour after six; ICONSIAM gives two hours free, ฿30 for the third hour and ฿60 an hour after seven; Terminal 21 Asok gives three hours free. Central Bangna gives six hours free, and Esplanade Ratchada, PARA Pinklao and Central Festival Eastville are free outright — worth knowing if you are choosing where to stay for the month.
What to check before a long run
- Fuel: gasohol 95 sits at ฿39.94 a litre and gasohol 91 at ฿39.57.
- Speed limits: 80 km/h in built-up areas, 90 km/h outside them, 120 km/h on the motorways and 110 km/h on the expressways.
- Cameras: on Motorway 7 the 120 km/h limit is enforced mainly by speed cameras, and the fine is issued to the car owner — that is, to us — and re-invoiced to the renter.
- Children: under six they ride in a TISI-standard child seat, and below 135 cm they need a seat or a special restraint; the fine runs to ฿2,000.
- Driving side: traffic keeps to the left and every car on this page is right-hand drive, so give yourself the first hour of the month to adjust.
Why monthly car rental in Bangkok suits a long stay
A month here is long enough that transport stops being a holiday decision and becomes a daily routine. Hiring by the day works for a week of temples and malls; by week three you are thinking about where the car sits overnight, what a tank of gas costs and how often you actually drive. Monthly car rental in Bangkok from Rent-Trip answers that shift: 24 self-drive cars, all automatic and 5-seat, from ฿700 a day — ฿14,700 for a month at the daily rate of ฿700 × 21.
The arithmetic is the plainest argument. A monthly booking is billed at the daily rate × 21, so the car is in your hands for all 30 days while you pay for 21 of them. The cheapest class on the page, Economy, starts at ฿14,700 a month; the top of the range, the electric sedans and crossovers at ฿1,250 a day, works out at ฿26,250. Weekly hire from ฿4,200 already sits below seven separate days, and the month pushes the effective daily cost lower again. For anyone staying past the first fortnight, spreading the cost across a stay is what makes a car sensible rather than indulgent.
What a long stay actually changes is the shape of the driving, not the distance:
- One car, several weeks of plans: a weekend in Hua Hin or Ayutthaya, a friend arriving at Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK) — all off the same keys rather than a fresh booking each time.
- Your own schedule: no daily hand-back, no re-booking, no repeating the paperwork every few days — the agreement simply runs.
Two practical notes from our side. Traffic keeps to the left and every car is right-hand drive, which takes a week or two to feel natural — a month gives you that time, a long weekend does not. And the deposit, the excess and any delivery fee are set out in the rental agreement, so read those lines before you sign rather than after. We deliver the car to any address in the city, with the date and time agreed with a manager when you book.
