Booking a car rental at Chiang Mai Airport (CNX) is the best way to explore the mountainous city in Northern Thailand. It is a more convenient option compared to public transportation options at the airport because you can easily access different places that can’t be fully accessed by public means. Utilizing rental cars in Chiang Mai saves you time because you will avoid unnecessary stops and opt for routes with less traffic. You will also save a lot because the collective costs of hiring a taxi to various destinations are much higher.
One good thing about getting a car rental at Chiang Mai Airport is that you will enjoy a smooth pick-up process. There are multiple local and international car rental agencies operating at the airport with on-site counters, so you can easily pick your preferred car type at the best rate. Once you get to the airport, visit the car rental desks at the Arrivals Terminal with all the required documents. After presenting the necessary documents and signing the rental agreement, you can walk to the pick-up point and collect your rental car. Confirm if the vehicle is in perfect technical condition and the required maps are working or set to your local language before starting your trip.
The process of returning your car when you opt for a car rental at Chiang Mai Airport is quite smooth. You can drop it off at your agency’s airport parking spot or the drop-off point indicated in your confirmation voucher or rental agreement. Some rental companies have a return deadline, so you should arrive before the stated time to avoid the late return fee. Others are operational 24 hours, so you can return the rental car during or after working hours. After parking the rental vehicle at the designated drop-off point, collect all your items and walk to your agency’s rental counter to fill out the necessary forms, collect your deposit, and hand over the keys. Check your car's fuel level and ensure it’s in perfect technical condition to avoid additional charges.
Chiang Mai Airport can get busy during certain times of the year since it’s the main entrance to Northern Thailand, a popular tourist destination. The airport is usually busy during peak tourist months, from October through April. During this period, you can encounter long waiting queues at the car rental counters.
