Car rental Bangkok - Suvarnabhumi Airport [BKK], Thailand

Car Rental Bangkok - Suvarnabhumi Airport Review

You have a great opportunity to visit Thailand and especially Bangkok which boasts for its attractions, culture and traditions. Most likely you’ll arrive at Thailand at Bangkok's Suvarnabhumi Airport - new international airport, the largest in Thailand, one of the biggest aviation hubs in Southeast Asia!

Bangkok's Suvarnabhumi Airport caters to 48 million passengers per year!

Where is Suvarnabhumi Airport located?

Located in the east of Bangkok, on the way to Bang Na, in Tambon Bang Racha Thevi Phli District Samut Prakan province.

• It is about 36km from the Center of Bangkok to the airport by Sirat Expy – Motorway 7 – Bangkok-Chon Buri New Line and then turn right to the airport. It will take you about 40 minutes. 
• And if you want to get to the Suvarnabhumi Airport from Don Mueang Airport, you must drive by Vibhavadi Rangsit Road, Uttraphimuk Tollway, next Chalerm Maha Nakhon Expy and then continue to leave the highway Sirat Expy – Motorway 7 – Bangkok-Chon Buri New Line , next turn right to the airport. It will take you about 1 hour.

By the way, it’s often very difficult to get downtown from the airport.

There are few buses to Bangkok, and if you arrived at the airport in the evening, you may wait your transport for a very long time!

And that is the strongest argument to rent a car directly at the airport to have no troubles with moving around Bangkok!

But if you’ll decide to go downtown by taxi or bus, in the diagram we provide you all the places where you can find public transport!

Taxi or Rental Car at Suvarnabhumi Airport?

If you are going to travel Thailand by taxi you must know some tips.

1. Bangkok taxi driver with counter charges $ 1 per passenger landing and the first 3 kilometers, then $ 0.2 for all subsequent (the amount you can see on the counter - it's the greatest numbers).
2. For the use of toll highways in Bangkok you will have to pay from $ 0.8 to $ 1.3.
3. On average, a trip around the city by taxi in Thailand could cost worth $ 1-10. Taxi rental in Thailand for a day will cost $ 100.
   
   The main disadvantages of moving around Bangkok by taxi are many kilometers of traffic jams which are immersed in weekday major metropolitan tracks.

Also if you are going to move a lot taking a taxi would be too expensive! Much easier would be to get a rental car right at the airport and go wherever you want!

This means you pick up the car with a full fuel tank and you should also return the vehicle with a full fuel tank.
