About to book a car in Thailand but I’ve heard horror stories about hidden fees. What should I keep my eyes peeled for to keep it all clear and above board?
Beware of the cleaning fees! Rented a car that had a bit of sand in it when I returned it and got hit with a 500 baht cleaning fee. Always clean up before you hand back the keys, especially if you hit the beaches.
Watch out for the return time! Some places nail you with a full extra day charge if you’re even an hour late. Happened to me with a local rental company in Phuket. Always ask upfront about the policy.
