Subaru car rental in Bangkok

Compulsory insurance is included in every Subaru car rental in Bangkok we arrange, the car is handed over with a full tank, and it comes to you rather than the other way round. Two models are available on this page — the Subaru XV crossover from ฿2,500 per day and the Subaru Forester SUV from ฿2,750 per day — both automatic, all-wheel drive and petrol.

What Subaru car rental in Bangkok gives you

Rent-Trip keeps two Subaru models for self-drive hire in the Thai capital: the XV crossover and the Forester SUV. Both come with all-wheel drive, an automatic gearbox and five seats, and we bring the car to the address you agree with a manager when the booking is fixed.

Two Subaru models in our fleet

We keep two Subaru models for hire — the XV and the Forester. The Subaru XV sits in the Crossovers class at ฿2,500 per day: a 2.0 L petrol engine rated at 156 hp, automatic transmission, all-wheel drive, five seats. The Subaru Forester is the SUV & 4x4 class at ฿2,750 per day, with the same 2.0 L unit, the same 156 hp, the same automatic box and the same all-wheel drivetrain. The cheaper of the two is the XV, so if price decides it, that is the one. Both are all-wheel drive, so the choice comes down to body shape and price, not traction.

Subaru XV and Forester for Subaru car rental in Bangkok

The XV sits in our Crossovers class at ฿2,500 per day; the Forester sits in SUV & 4x4 at ฿2,750. We keep one of each, and the booking is agreed with a manager before it is fixed.

Specs side by side

What both models cover

• Drivetrain: all-wheel drive on both, so the choice comes down to body shape and price, not traction.
• Fuel: petrol only, with a full tank at hand-over and the same fuel type at return.
• Gearbox: automatic in both, which suits the stop-start traffic on the expressways and in the old town.
• Rental length: available from 1 day, with weekly and monthly rates lower per day than the daily rate.

Rental rates for Subaru car rental in Bangkok

Subaru car rental in Bangkok runs from ฿2,500 to ฿2,750 per day, and the longer you book, the lower the daily figure gets. Below are the rates we quote, what sits inside them, and how the weekly and monthly multipliers work.

Daily, weekly and monthly rates

Subaru car rental in Bangkok starts at ฿2,500 per day for the Subaru XV and ฿2,750 per day for the Subaru Forester. Book seven days and the weekly rate starts at ฿15,000 — that is the daily figure multiplied by six, not by seven. Book a month and the monthly rate starts at ฿52,500, which is the daily figure multiplied by twenty-one. Both multipliers apply to the class you choose, so a Forester week and a Forester month scale the same way from its own ฿2,750. If your stay is longer than three weeks, price the month before you price the weeks.

What the price includes

• VAT 7%: already inside the ฿2,500 and ฿2,750 figures.
• Rental from 1 day: a single day is a valid booking, so a weekend trip to Ayutthaya or Amphawa needs no minimum term.
• Compulsory motor insurance (Por Ror Bor): attached to every registered car and covers injury to third parties.
• First-class (Class 1) insurance: covers damage to the car itself; its terms and the excess are set out in the rental agreement.
• Clean car, full tank: the Subaru arrives washed with a full tank of petrol, so your first fuel stop is your own.
• Delivery: agreed with a manager before the booking is fixed, and any delivery fee is agreed at the same moment.

Long bookings and what is not in the rate

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 rather than fixed here. Conditions for drivers under 25 are set out in the same agreement, and so are the terms for premium classes. Since 30 December 2025 a car rental agreement in Thailand is a contract controlled by the OCPB: it is written in Thai, and every fee and penalty is disclosed in it — read that document before you drive away, because it, not this page, is what governs the deposit, the excess and any charge.

Documents for Subaru car rental in Bangkok

Paperwork is where Thai rules differ from what a visitor expects at home. For Subaru car rental in Bangkok the list is short: a passport, a home driving licence, an International Driving Permit for most nationalities, and a bank card in the main driver's name. Everything else — the security hold, the conditions for younger drivers — sits in the agreement, which is settled when booking.

Licence and permit you need

Three documents travel with you: passport, home driving licence and an International Driving Permit issued under the 1949 Geneva Convention. Section 42 bis of the Motor Vehicle Act makes the permit a legal requirement for a foreign visitor, and it must be carried alongside the national licence, not instead of it. Citizens of ASEAN countries may drive on their national licence without a permit.

Age and driving conditions

The minimum driver age is 21, and conditions for drivers under 25 are set out in the rental agreement. Pick up in daylight if you can, and drive a short loop around the block before you join traffic. Speed limits 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 every passenger wears a seatbelt, including the rear row.

Documents for an ASEAN licence holder

• National driving licence: an ASEAN licence is accepted on its own, with no International Driving Permit required.
• Bank card: a card in the main driver's name is used for the security hold; the amount is set out in the agreement.
• Rental agreement: since 30 December 2025 it is a contract controlled by the OCPB, written in Thai, with all fees and penalties disclosed in it.
• Traffic-camera fines: issued to the car owner and re-invoiced to the renter, so they can reach you after you leave.

How delivery works for Subaru car rental in Bangkok

Where we bring the car

• Any address in Bangkok: your hotel, condo or guesthouse — tell the manager the address when you book and we bring the Subaru to the door.
• Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK): the main international gateway, roughly 25 km from downtown, and a delivery point we cover.
• Don Mueang Airport (DMK): the low-cost terminal on Vibhavadi Rangsit Road, with Thai AirAsia, Nok Air and Thai Lion Air traffic.
• Krung Thep Aphiwat Central Terminal: the main railway station since 19 January 2023, at the Chatuchak/Bang Sue boundary.
• Elsewhere: arranged case by case and not promised on this page — ask the manager before you count on it.

What to fix when you book

The three details that decide the hand-over are the address, the date and the time. Give all three in one message and the manager confirms the booking against them; change any of the three and the arrangement is re-agreed.

Timing around flights and traffic

Landing at BKK or DMK means the delivery slot has to survive the drive in. If your flight number changes, tell the manager before the booking is fixed.

The car itself

Both models arrive clean with a full tank, and the hire runs from one day.

Why all-wheel drive suits Subaru car rental in Bangkok

What it does not change

All-wheel drive is not a licence to drive anywhere. Our rental agreement does not permit off-road, beach or jungle-track driving, and the drivetrain does not make those routes allowed. It also does not change the rules of the road: traffic in Thailand keeps to the left and every car is right-hand drive, so the first hour is spent learning the mirror positions and the width of the car, not the grip.

Insurance and deposit for Subaru car rental in Bangkok

Two things decide how a Subaru rental is secured: the compulsory insurance that comes with every registered Thai car, and the hold placed on your card. Our part is simple — the car leaves clean with a full tank, and the details are agreed when booking.

What insurance comes with the car

• Por Ror Bor: compulsory motor insurance attached to every registered car in Thailand; it covers injury to third parties, and no Subaru hire operates without it.
• Class 1: first-class cover that protects the car itself against damage; we take it out on both the Subaru XV and the Forester.
• Excess: the amount you remain liable for after a claim is set out in the rental agreement, not quoted here.
• Camera fines: traffic-camera penalties are issued to the car owner, which is us, and re-invoiced to the renter afterwards.
• Agreement: since 30 December 2025 a car rental contract in Thailand is controlled by the OCPB, written in Thai, with every fee and penalty disclosed inside it.

The security hold and how it is agreed

A bank card in the main driver's name is used for the security hold, and the amount is set out in the rental agreement rather than fixed on this page. The same agreement carries the excess figure and any young-driver conditions, so read those lines before you confirm the booking — the number that matters is the one printed in your own contract, not a generic figure from a website. If a delivery fee applies, it is agreed when booking, alongside the address, date and time.

Documents to have ready

• Home driving licence: your national licence, held for the category you are driving.
• International Driving Permit: required alongside the national licence under the 1949 Geneva Convention; ASEAN citizens may drive on their national licence instead.
• Bank card: in the main driver's name, used for the security hold.

Driving without the permit carries a police fine of ฿500–1,000, and an insurer may refuse a claim, so the permit is worth arranging before you fly. The minimum driver age is 21; conditions for drivers under 25 are set out in the agreement. Both the Subaru XV at ฿2,500 per day and the Subaru Forester at ฿2,750 per day follow the same document set, so the paperwork does not change with the model you pick.
