Renting a car in Thailand is a convenient option for daily travel or tourism. But before starting to rent a car, it is important to prepare all the documents to prevent problems and delays in the rental process. Let's see what documents are required for renting a car.
1. National ID card or passport
The first important document is the national ID card for Thai nationals or a passport for foreigners. This document is used to verify your identity and show that you are a legal driver.
2. Driver's license
Renting a car requires a valid driver's license. If you are a foreigner who wants to rent a car in Thailand, you should have an International Driving Permit or a driver's license that is valid in that country.
