Minivans car rental in Thailand
If you need minivans car rental in Thailand for a family, a group of friends or a dive crew, we have 39 minivans from ฿1,200 per day, with weekly rates from ฿7,200 and monthly from ฿25,200. We deliver the car to any address in Phuket, Bangkok, Koh Samui and Pattaya, and to the airports we serve in those cities — the address, date and time are agreed with a manager before the booking is fixed.
What minivans car rental in Thailand gives you
You book the vehicle, a manager agrees the address, date and time with you, and the car arrives clean with a full tank. Self-drive also means the practical things sit with you: fuel, parking, and the route you choose. Hire starts from 1 day, so a two-day run to a national park needs no minimum week; a longer booking costs less per day (weekly = daily x 6, monthly = daily x 21).
39 minivans and vans in the fleet
- MPVs: 7-seat people carriers such as the Toyota Avanza, Mitsubishi Xpander and Suzuki Ertiga, from ฿1,200 per day.
- Larger MPVs: 8 and 11-seat models including the Kia Carnival and Hyundai Staria, for bigger families and mixed groups.
- Vans: 11 and 12-seat vehicles such as the Toyota Commuter, Toyota Hiace and Mercedes-Benz Sprinter.
- Fuel types: petrol, diesel, hybrid and electric — the Maxus MIFA 9 is the electric option in this class.
- Transmissions: automatic on 38 of the 39, with a manual gearbox only on the Toyota Hiace van in Bangkok.
- Prices: ฿1,200 to ฿6,500 per day, with weekly rates from ฿7,200 and monthly from ฿25,200.
The seat count matters more than the badge on the bonnet.
Minivans car rental in Thailand by seats and trip
Seat count, luggage and the length of your trip decide which minivan you take. We keep four seating groups on this page — 7, 8, 11 and 12 seats — and the difference between them is not the badge on the bonnet but how much you carry and how far you drive.
7, 8, 11 and 12-seat minivans compared
| Seats | Body | Typical models | Fuel | Best for | From |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 7 | MPV | Toyota Avanza, Mitsubishi Xpander, Suzuki XL7 | Petrol, Diesel, Hybrid, Electric | A family of four to five with luggage | ฿1,200/day |
| 11 | MPV, Van | Hyundai H1, Hyundai Staria, Toyota Ventury | Diesel | Two families travelling together | ฿2,400/day |
| 12 | Van | Toyota Commuter, Toyota Hiace, Hyundai H-1 | Diesel | Groups of ten or more with day bags | ฿2,150/day |
Which minivan suits a family or a group
- Family of four with suitcases: a 7-seat MPV such as the Toyota Avanza at ฿1,200 per day.
- Two families, one car: an 11-seat Hyundai H1 or Toyota Ventury at ฿2,400–฿2,500 per day keeps everyone in one vehicle and one parking space.
- Long motorway days: the diesel Toyota Innova Crysta at ฿1,590 per day holds 7 seats with a 2.8 L engine and rear-wheel drive for the climbs.
- Zero-emission option: the electric Maxus MIFA 9 at ฿4,280 per day seats 7 and needs charging stops planned in advance.
If you are unsure, tell the manager how many people, how many cases and how many days, and the booking will be agreed around that.
Minivan rental prices in Thailand by model
Minivan rental prices in Thailand at Rent-Trip start at ฿1,200 per day and top out at ฿6,500 per day, with 39 vehicles spread across that range. What you pay depends on three things: the model, the seat count and how long you book for.
Daily, weekly and monthly minivan rates
A day of minivan rental in Thailand costs between ฿1,200 and ฿6,500, and every price we publish already includes VAT 7%. The daily figure is the one to compare first, because the longer rates are built from it: weekly comes to daily x 6, monthly to daily x 21. A Toyota Avanza at ฿1,200 a day therefore runs ฿7,200 for a week and ฿25,200 for a month — the same arithmetic applies up the range, so a Toyota Alphard at ฿6,500 a day lands at ฿39,000 weekly and ฿136,500 monthly. That is the whole pricing model, and any further conditions are set out in the rental agreement.
Prices by model, from Avanza to Alphard

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Toyota Avanza | 7 | Petrol | Automatic | ฿1,200 |
| Mitsubishi Xpander | 7 | Petrol | Automatic | ฿1,290 |
| Suzuki XL7 | 7 | Petrol | Automatic | ฿1,290 |
| Toyota Veloz | 7 | Petrol | Automatic | ฿1,290 |
| Suzuki Ertiga | 7 | Petrol | Automatic | ฿1,300 |
| Toyota Sienta | 7 | Hybrid | Automatic | ฿1,400 |
| Honda Mobilio | 7 | Petrol | Automatic | ฿1,450 |
| Honda BR-V | 7 | Petrol | Automatic | ฿1,500 |
| Toyota Innova Crysta | 7 | Diesel | Automatic | ฿1,590 |
| Toyota Innova | 7 | Petrol | Automatic | ฿1,800 |
| Toyota Innova Zenix | 7 | Petrol | Automatic | ฿2,000 |
| Toyota Commuter | 12 | Diesel | Automatic | ฿2,150 |
| Mercedes-Benz Sprinter | 11 | Diesel | Automatic | ฿2,400 |
| Hyundai H1 | 11 | Diesel | Automatic | ฿2,500 |
| Hyundai Staria | 11 | Diesel | Automatic | ฿2,800 |
| Maxus MIFA 9 | 7 | Electric | Automatic | ฿4,280 |
| Kia Carnival | 8 | Diesel | Automatic | ฿4,400 |
| Toyota Alphard | 7 | Petrol | Automatic | ฿5,850 |
| Toyota Vellfire | 7 | Hybrid | Automatic | ฿6,000 |
| Toyota Alphard | 7 | Hybrid | Automatic | ฿6,500 |
The Toyota Avanza opens the range at ฿1,200 per day, and the hybrid Toyota Alphard closes it at ฿6,500. The same model name can appear at two different prices — the Xpander is listed at ฿1,290, ฿1,500, ฿1,700 and ฿2,250, the Commuter at ฿2,150, ฿2,800 and ฿4,280 — because the cars stand in different cities (Bangkok, Pattaya, Phuket, Koh Samui) and each city has its own price, so check the city as well as the badge when you compare.
Documents and rules for minivans car rental in Thailand
Thai law is straightforward about who may sit behind the wheel. For minivans car rental in Thailand the rule set is the same whether you collect a seven-seat MPV in Phuket or a twelve-seat van in Bangkok — the difference is only in what you load into it.
Licence, passport and IDP requirements
A foreign visitor needs a home driving licence plus an International Driving Permit issued under the 1949 Geneva Convention; citizens of ASEAN countries may drive on their national licence alone. Bring your passport, your home licence and the permit, and a bank card in the main driver's name for the security hold; the amount is set out in the rental agreement. The minimum driver age is 21, and conditions for drivers under 25 and for premium classes are set out in the agreement rather than promised here. Driving without a valid permit carries a police fine of ฿500–1,000, and an insurer may refuse a claim — so the permit is not a formality you can leave at the hotel.
Driving rules and fines in Thailand
- Left-hand traffic: traffic keeps to the left and every car is right-hand drive, so the lane discipline you know from home is mirrored.
- Speed limits: 80 km/h in built-up areas, 90 km/h outside them, 120 km/h on motorways and 110 km/h on expressways.
- Seat belts: every passenger wears one, including the rear row — this applies to minivans and vans as much as to cars.
- Child seats: children under 6 travel in a child seat to the TISI standard; below 135 cm a belt or special seat is required, with a fine of up to ฿2,000.
The agreement itself has been a contract controlled by the OCPB since 30 December 2025: it is written in Thai, and every fee and penalty is disclosed in it before you sign.
Delivery service for minivans car rental in Thailand
We deliver the car to your address, and a manager agrees the address, the date and the time with you before the booking is fixed. That is the whole model: Rent-Trip brings the minivan to the place you name — a hotel, a villa, a private house — and the hand-over happens there. If a delivery fee applies, it is agreed when booking, never added as a surprise at hand-over.
How car delivery works when you book
- Address and timing: you name the address, the date and the time; a manager confirms all three before the booking is fixed, so the car arrives when you need it.
- Airports: we deliver to Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK), Don Mueang Airport (DMK), U-Tapao Airport (UTP) and Samui International Airport (USM), plus Phuket International Airport.
- Any address: delivery covers any address in Bangkok, any address in Pattaya, any address on Koh Samui and any address on Phuket.
- Elsewhere in the country: delivery outside these areas is arranged case by case and is not promised on the site — ask a manager when you book.
- The car itself: it comes clean and with a full tank, and rental is available from one day.
Insurance and hand-over for minivans car rental in Thailand
Every registered car in Thailand carries compulsory motor insurance, known as Por Ror Bor, which covers injury to third parties. On top of that, Class 1 insurance covers damage to the car itself, and its terms and the excess are set out in the rental agreement. We hand over a clean car with a full tank, and the security hold is taken on a bank card in the main driver's name, with the amount set out in the same agreement.
What Por Ror Bor covers, and what it does not
- Por Ror Bor: compulsory cover attached to every registered car in Thailand — it pays for injury to third parties, not for damage to the vehicle itself.
- Class 1 insurance: the policy that covers damage to the car; 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 agreement.
- Damage to the car: what you owe above the policy is set out in the rental agreement, not quoted at the counter.
- Third-party injury: handled under Por Ror Bor, which follows the car rather than the driver.
Hand-over: what you get and what you sign
Every minivan booking with us starts from the same baseline: the car comes clean with a full tank, and hire is available from one day. At hand-over you receive the vehicle and the keys, and the rental agreement is what governs the booking — the deposit, the excess and any fees sit in that document, written in Thai as required for a contract controlled by the OCPB since 30 December 2025.
A bank card in the main driver's name is used for the security hold, and the amount is set out in the agreement. Documents to have ready are your passport, your home driving licence, an International Driving Permit unless you hold an ASEAN licence, and that same bank card.
Returning the car and traffic fines
Return the car in the condition you received it, and the security hold is released under the conditions in the agreement.
Booking your minivan rental in Thailand
Booking a minivan with us is a conversation, not a checkout form. You tell a manager where you are staying, when you land or when you want the car, and how many people are travelling; we confirm the model, the price and the delivery slot. Nothing is fixed until both sides agree on the details.
What to have ready before you write to us
- International Driving Permit: the 1949 Geneva Convention booklet for non-ASEAN licence holders, carried alongside the home licence.
- Bank card: a card in the main driver's name for the security hold; the amount is set out in the rental agreement.
- Delivery details: the address, the date and the time you want the car handed over, plus a phone number a manager can reach you on.
How the booking is agreed
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 when booking — not added at hand-over. We deliver to any address in Bangkok and to Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK) and Don Mueang Airport (DMK); on Koh Samui we deliver to any address and to Samui International Airport (USM). Delivery elsewhere is arranged case by case and is not promised on the site, so ask before you plan around it. The minimum driver age is 21, and conditions for drivers under 25 and for premium classes are set out in the rental agreement. VAT 7% is included in the prices shown, and rental is available from 1 day.
Weekly and monthly bookings
For longer trips the per-day figure drops: weekly is daily x 6 and monthly is daily x 21, so a minivan at ฿1,200 per day works out at ฿7,200 for a week and ฿25,200 for a month. Tell the manager the full length of your stay when you book, so the weekly or monthly rate is applied from the start.
What we need from you, and what you get back
We then confirm the model and the total, and the car arrives clean with a full tank. Traffic-camera fines are issued to the car owner and re-invoiced to the renter, so keep to the posted limits. Bring the documents with you at hand-over — the agreement itself is written in Thai and discloses all fees and penalties in it.
