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

Most friends who travel freely in Thailand may choose to rent motorcycles. In fact, renting motorcycles faces some troublesome problems, and the price of renting motorcycles is of great concern to everyone. Let's go and have a look.

Rent a motorcycle in Thailand 150~300 baht a day (about 35~60 RMB). Going to more places will cost much less than taking two cars. For motorcyclists who especially like racing, the local area is paradise. Drive as fast as you want.

Please try not to rent cars and motorcycles for fun. At present, it is the rainy season in Thailand, with frequent rainfall and steep and slippery mountains, which are prone to accidents. It is recommended to choose local public transportation or chartered bus to visit the scenic spots.

In particular, girls should not rent motorcycles to drive, because the vehicle itself is particularly heavy, and it is particularly inconvenient for girls with thin bodies to reverse and turn around, especially when going uphill and downhill.

When an accident happens, if you ride a motorcycle without a license and suddenly drive on the right in violation of regulations, you must bear all the responsibility for the crash.

Of course, I believe that even this can't dispel everyone's desire to explore Thailand by scooter (yes, Bian Xiao, I will choose to rent a motorcycle to drive)!

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

How much is it to rent a motorcycle in Thailand a day?

Motorcycles can be rented in most parts of Thailand, whether it is Chiang Mai, Phuket, Pattaya or Krabi. There are a large number of motorcycle rental shops on the roadside. You can see a row of motorcycles at the door with the sign "Taxi" on it.

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

Motorcycle rental in Thailand is generally divided into 1 10cc and 125cc, and the price ranges from 150 baht to 300 baht (about 35-60 RMB) per day (24 hours), depending on the model and age of the car.

If you rent for several days in a row, you can reduce the price by 10~20%.

Do I need a driver's license to rent a motorcycle

The car rental company doesn't care whether you have a driver's license or not. Generally, when renting a car, the boss will let you show it to him and judge whether you can ride it or rent it to you according to the overall feeling.

Some people may just drive an electric car in China, and they start to get nervous as soon as they get on the bus, and their hands and feet are tight. Before the car started, their bodies shook and then braked with the soles.

After reading it, the boss will understand that renting it to you is a very irrational decision, so he will not rent it to such a person.

In the process of renting a car, how to check the condition of the car

There are many foreigners renting cars in Thailand. Car owners can express their prices and some simple requirements in English.

There are two kinds of car rental pledges: 1. Passport pledge, the original passport pledge is 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 pick those with deep tread. Turn signals, headlights, mirrors, and especially the brakes should be carefully tried. It's better to rent an old car with scratches, so you don't have to worry about being blackmailed for compensation in the future.

In addition, you should 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?

Motorcycles in Thailand usually give you two helmets. When you first get the car, there is usually not enough gas, but it is enough for you to ride and refuel.

In this case, it means that you can return the car without filling it up (if the car rental shop doesn't give you special instructions).

Generally, a motorcycle can run about 70 kilometers with 3~5 liters of gasoline. 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 what you get at the gas station. Ask others where the gas station is, say "gas station" instead of "gas station", or you will be directed 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 quite casual. There are many parking spaces on the roadside. However, it should also be noted that places where there is no diagonal parking space 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 locked by chains, and then you have to pay a fine to unlock them.

Especially where there is no diagonal near the intersection. When you come back and find the car locked, you may see a hand-painted map posted on the car, which is a road map for paying fines, or you may have to ask the passers-by.

Does China's driver's license work?

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 a China driver's license only belongs to driving without a license and is not protected by Thai law. In the event of a liability accident, it is necessary to bear the corresponding risks and responsibilities.

Note: China driver's license has no English translation. Since China is not a party to the United Nations Convention on Road Traffic, China's driver's license cannot be changed to an international driver's license.

How much does it cost to rent a motorcycle and get caught by the police?

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 get caught breaking the rules: the police will say so, classmate, you broke the rules; Of course, we can try to say: uncle police, I didn't violate the rules. /kloc-how about 0/00 pigs? If he says again, classmate, you really broke the rules; Remember to say: uncle police, I really didn't violate the rules. How about 200 pigs? If he nods, you put the pig in his pocket, and sometimes you can go.

No matter how you bargain, it is helpful to pretend to be poor and helpless, 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 receiving a fine of 500 baht is the most common. They had to go to the police station to pay the fine themselves.

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

Pay attention to driving a motorcycle in Thailand

Wear a helmet: Everyone has a helmet. 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. Thailand drives with the left hand and China drives with the right hand. After you get the car, you must be familiar with it in advance. Don't drive to the right with your head open.

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

What if there is an accident?

As mentioned earlier, China people who drive motorcycles in Thailand with a 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 or PICC now refuse to pay for motorcycle accidents.

Thailand mainly relies on insurance, and redundant claims must be settled through civil litigation, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. 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 in Thailand. I don't know where to buy Bian Xiao. If you know, please leave a message below.

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

What if the boss insists on scraping the car if it doesn't scratch?

This phenomenon exists. I met a "dirty" boss. A little scratch is called accompanying a pig for two or three thousand. You didn't do anything wrong with the old scratch, you said you wiped it, and then you have to pay for it.

There was another car accident, which was not serious and the car was not very hurt. Some bosses don't ask for compensation, and some may take the opportunity to shout high prices and have to bargain, but the tone should not be too hard. After all, cars will crack.

Do I need an interpreter if I 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.
