Cheap car rentals in Chiang Rai
KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Chiang Rai
- There are several advantages to renting cheap car rentals in Chiang Rai. Chiang Rai is a bit spread out, and public transportation can be limited. Having a car rental in Chiang Rai allows you to have more freedom and flexibility when exploring the city and its surrounding areas. One of the best reasons to rent a car in Chiang Rai is to visit the White Temple (Wat Rong Khun). This stunning temple is located about 13 miles outside of the city and is a must-visit attraction. Another advantage of using Chiang Rai car rentals is that it allows you to explore the nearby Mae Sai border town, which is located about 30 miles away.
- Chiang Rai Airport (CEI) is the main airport serving Chiang Rai. The airport is about 5.5 miles away and the car rental offices are located outside the terminal building, near the parking lot. Many car rental companies provide shuttle service to their offices, which are within a short distance from the airport. Chiang Mai Airport (CNX) is about 112 miles from Chiang Rai. The rental car offices at CNX are located in the arrivals hall in Terminal 1, near the exit.
- Driving a car rental in Chiang Rai can be an exciting experience, but it is important to be aware of the driving style and the unique rules and signage in the city. Drivers in Chiang Rai are usually quite relaxed. However, there can be an element of impatience and aggression, particularly in busy areas. You will also find many people on motorcycles weaving in and out of traffic, and it is important to be aware of this when driving cheap car rentals in Chiang Rai. It is also worth noting that bicycles are a common form of transportation in Chiang Rai. Therefore, it is important to keep an eye out for cyclists and pedestrians who may be using the road. Many locals also tend to jaywalk, so drivers need to be vigilant.
- Rush hour in Chiang Rai typically occurs between 7:30 am to 9:00 am and 4:30 pm to 7:00 pm on weekdays. The road that is mostly affected during rush hour in Chiang Rai is Phahonyothin Road, also known as Thailand Route 1. Moreover, some roads in Chiang Rai are narrow, have sharp turns, and are not well lit at night, making it difficult for drivers to navigate. Certain areas of the city can also be muddy during the rainy season, which can make driving cheap car rentals in Chiang Rai more challenging.
