Car rentals in Pattaya boast a wide range of vehicles to suit the travel needs of different customers. You can rent an Economy rental or a Mini Rental if you are traveling alone. If you are a group of 4 to 5 people, consider renting a Compact or a Full-size to have a comfortable traveling experience. The rental you settle on should also be drivable to the destinations you intend to visit. Suppose you intend to get to destinations served by gravel and dirt roads. If so, it’s in your best interest to rent an SUV.

As with most of Thailand, the general speed limit in the urban areas of Pattaya is 60 km/h (37 mph). The low-speed regulation is because there are many motorists and pedestrians on most Pattaya roads. The speed limit also applies to residential areas and roads within the built-up areas of the town. Still, speed limits may vary according to the condition of the road, so look out for signage that indicates speed limits to avoid getting in bad books with traffic police.
