How much does it cost to rent a motorcycle in Thailand? Do I need a driver's license to rent a motorcycle in Thailand?

Most friends who travel freely in Thailand may choose to rent motorcycles. In fact, renting motorcycles faces some troublesome problems, as well as the price of renting motorcycles. This is something that everyone cares about. Let's have a look.

It costs 150 ~300 baht (about 35~60 RMB) to rent a motorcycle in Thailand. If you go to many places, the cost is much less than taking two cars. Especially for motorcyclists who like racing, the local area is a paradise. "You can drive as fast as you want." .

Please try not to rent a car or a motorcycle to play. At present, it is the rainy season in Thailand, with frequent rainfall, high mountains and slippery roads, which are prone to accidents. It is recommended to choose local public transportation or chartered bus to visit the scenic spots.

Especially for girls, don't rent a motorcycle to drive, because the vehicle itself is particularly heavy, and it is particularly inconvenient for girls who are slightly thinner to reverse and turn around, especially uphill and downhill, and they can't hold it at all.

In the event of an accident, if you ride a motorcycle without a license and suddenly drive on the right illegally, you must be responsible for yourself.

Of course, I believe that even this will not dispel everyone's desire to explore Thailand by scooter (yes, I will choose to rent a motorcycle to go to Bianxiao)!

Today, I will give you a detailed explanation of the self-driving guide and pit prevention guide for renting motorcycles in Thailand.

How much does it cost to rent a motorcycle in Thailand? Motorcycles can be rented in most parts of Thailand. Whether Chiang Mai, Phuket, Pattaya or Krabi, there are a large number of motorcycle rental shops on the roadside. I saw a row of motorcycles at the door with a "FOR" sign on it.

Rent "is.

There are almost no so-called formal professional motorcycle rental shops, and Thai laws are not very strict. Thai law is not empty for this kind of commercial operation.

Motorcycles rented locally in Thailand are generally divided into 1 10cc and 125cc. About one day (24 hours), the price is 150 ~300 baht (about 35~60 RMB), depending on the model and age of the car.

If you rent for several days in a row, you can still bargain 10~20%.

Do I need a driver's license to rent a motorcycle Actually, the car rental agency doesn't care if you have a driver's license. Generally, when renting a car, the boss will let you have a look and judge whether it can be rented to you with the overall feeling.

Some people may just drive electric cars in China. When they sit on it, they start to get nervous, their hands and feet are tight, their bodies shake a little before the car moves, and then they brake with the soles of their feet.

The boss will understand that renting it to you is a very irrational decision, so he won't rent it to such a person.

Car rental process, how to check the car condition There are many foreign tourists renting cars in Thailand, so car rental owners can express the price and some simple requirements in English.

There are two kinds of car rental pledges: 1, passport pledge, and original passport pledge free of deposit; 2. Pledge a copy of your passport and charge a deposit of about 2,000 ~ 3,000 baht.

Again: never give your passport to others when you are away from home. Bian Xiao suggests that you choose cash as your deposit as much as possible.

When choosing a car, try to choose the one with deep tread, and carefully try the turn signals, headlights, rearview mirrors, especially the brakes. It's best to rent an older car that has been scraped, so you don't have to worry about being blackmailed for compensation in the future.

In addition, learn how to open and lock the storage box and how to open the fuel tank to refuel.

For most tourists, this is all they can do. If you are more careful, you can take all the details of the motorcycle into videos or photos in front of the staff.

Where to refuel a motorcycle in Thailand, you will usually be given two helmets. When you first get the car, there is usually not enough oil in it, but it is enough for you to ride and refuel.

In this case, you can return the car without filling it up (if the car rental shop doesn't specifically explain it to you).

A motorcycle usually has 3~5 liters of gasoline and can run about 70 kilometers. Everyone should know this. If you can't refuel in time, you have to push it back.

There are a lot of gasoline sold by the roadside like beer bottles, usually 40 baht a bottle.

Needless to say, this kind of oil is definitely less than that obtained by gas stations. Ask someone where the gas station is and say "gasolinestation" instead of "oil"

"Stop" or you will be pointed to the vegetable market!

Find the gas station, say "full" to my brother, and he will fill it up for you. The gas station won't lie to you. Generally, scooters can only eat 50~80 baht of oil to be full.

Is it convenient to park? Will I be fined for parking in the wrong place? Parking is optional. There are many places to park on the roadside, but it should also be noted that places without diagonal parking spaces for motorcycles on the roadside are more dangerous and easy to be fined.

It is safe if there is no diagonal line on the roadside but many motorcycles are parked. If you see no diagonal lines, but you stop one or two motorcycles, you may be chained to all your cars, and then you have to pay a fine to unlock them.

Especially near intersections without diagonal lines. When you come back and find the car locked, you may see a hand-painted map on the car, which is a road map for paying fines, or you may ask people.

According to Thai law, foreigners driving in Thailand (including motorcycles) must hold an international driver's license or a local driver's license in Thailand.

Driving in Thailand with only a China driver's license belongs to driving without a license and is not protected by Thai law. In the event of a liability accident, you will bear the corresponding risks and responsibilities.

Note: The English translation of China driver's license is also unavailable. Since China is not a signatory to the United Nations Convention on Road Traffic, China's driver's license cannot be exchanged for an international driver's license.

As mentioned earlier, driving a motorcycle in Thailand with a China driver's license belongs to driving without a license. If the police find out, they will be fined 200~ 1000 baht.

In case you are caught in violation of regulations: the police will say, classmate, you are in violation of regulations; Of course, we can try to say, 100.

Pig head, is that okay? If he says again, classmate, you really broke the rules; Remember to say: uncle police, I really didn't violate the rules, 200.

What about pigs? If he nods, you put the pig in his pocket, and sometimes you can go.

In any case, bargaining and pretending to be poor and helpless are helpful, but remember not to be rude or even rude. Wearing a helmet can reduce the probability of being caught.

In most cases, they will be stopped by the Thai police, and it is the most common to receive a fine of 500 baht, so they must go to the police station to pay the fine themselves.

However, if you get the ticket at once, just show it in a few days.

When driving a motorcycle in Thailand, you should pay attention to wearing a helmet: one helmet for each person. Riding a motorcycle without a helmet is particularly dangerous on the one hand, and on the other hand, the police specialize in catching people without helmets on the road.

Driving on the left: including cars and bicycles. Left-hand drive, Thailand or China right-hand drive. After you get the car, you must be familiar with it in advance. Don't run to the right with your head open.

No retrograde: remember to prohibit one-way retrograde, which is very dangerous. Sometimes it's ok to go around. Don't go backwards. Make sure there are no cars in sight before turning and turning around.

What should I do if there is an accident? As mentioned earlier, China people driving motorcycles in Thailand with China driver's license belong to driving without a license, so even if they bought travel accident insurance in China, insurance companies such as Allianz, Meiya and PICC now refuse to pay for motorcycle accidents.

Traffic accident compensation and Thailand mainly rely on insurance, and the extra claims must be realized through civil litigation, which is time-consuming and laborious. The actual economic ability of the owner of the accident has a great influence on the settlement result.

The Immigration Bureau of Thailand stipulates that foreign citizens must purchase local traffic safety insurance in Thailand when they go to road trip, Thailand. I don't know where to buy Bian Xiao. If you know, please leave a message below to let me know.

If there is an accident, fall off the car. If the circumstances are minor, be brave and take care of yourself. Seriously need to call the police.

Thailand free travel emergency contact number

Travel help: 1 155 (this is better called in Thailand, because it is a special line for tourism problems and is more practical for foreigners)

Call the police: 19 1

Fire alarm telephone: 199

Emergency Center Tel: 169 1

Medical assistance telephone: 1669

The boss insisted on what to do if the car didn't scratch. This phenomenon exists. I met a black-hearted boss. A little scratch is called accompanying a pig for two or three thousand. You didn't do it, but you wiped it, so you lost.

Another is that the car really fell and the car was not seriously injured. Some bosses don't ask for compensation, but some may take the opportunity to shout high prices and have to bargain, but the tone should not be too strong. After all, the car really fell.

If the compensation is too much, consider calling the police. But it's very troublesome. It's also a language problem, and it's also someone else's territory. The local police may or may not help relatives.

Do you need an interpreter if you want to go to the police station? So in order to avoid conflicts and more troubles, you should adjust your mentality and face this fact bravely.
