Airport car rental in Krabi
Rental desks, meet-and-greet services or off-airport shuttles may be used. Check the exact handover point in the voucher.
For late arrivals, confirm desk hours, flight tracking, after-hours fees and the return procedure.
Car rental conditions
Bring your passport and a valid driving licence. Whether an International Driving Permit is needed depends on the licence issued, the rental company and the authorities’ requirements; confirm this before pickup.
Minimum age and driving-experience requirements vary by supplier and vehicle class. Read the selected offer rather than assuming one nationwide threshold.
A deposit is common. Credit or debit cards and, with some suppliers, cash may be accepted for payment, but the card and security-deposit rules can differ.
Check the insurance scope, exclusions and excess. After an accident, contact the police where required, notify the rental company immediately and follow its instructions.

Airport pickup details
Check the terminal or meeting point, documents, deposit method and vehicle inspection procedure before arrival.
Allow enough time for refuelling, inspection and reaching the terminal when returning the car.
Rental without a credit card
Offers without a credit card may accept a debit card or cash for the rental price, but the security method can be different from the payment method.
Confirm that the main driver’s card is accepted, whether a deposit is still blocked, and which card type, embossing or available balance the supplier requires.
