Best Airport Meet and Greet Services 2025

Long haul flights to Thailand can be tiring. On arrival, the goal is to make things as simple as possible. 

Visitors choosing to book a rental car need to know what their options are for the best meet and greet services in 2025 at the Bangkok Airport. With Drive Car Rental, visitors can pick up a vehicle at the airport or choose a hotel transfer option, then get a Phayathai hotel car delivery downtown.

Below is a guide to choosing the best car rental delivery or pick-up option that works for your itinerary and goals.  

Picking up at the Airport

Bangkok has two major airports. Don Muang Airport (DMK) is located to the north of the city and accepts domestic and short-haul international flights from nearby countries. Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK) is larger and is where most flights from Europe and the West arrive. Drive Car Rental offers meet-and-greet services at both airports, so visitors can fly in and drive away!

Inside BKK Airport, Drive Car Rental’s desk is conveniently located in the arrivals hall between exits seven and eight, near the taxi waiting area. At DMK Airport, we provide a meet-and-greet service where our representative will welcome you upon arrival. Our nearest office, located just a few minutes from the airport, is where customers are taken to inspect their vehicles and complete the rental process.

At either desk, renters can present their passport and rental agreement email, sign some documents, and obtain the keys to their car. Add-ons such as insurance, GPS navigation, and child seats can also be purchased at the desk. 

Airport Transfer to Hotel

Drive Car Rental has several offices across Bangkok, one of which is located inside the Eastin Grand Hotel in Phayathai. Those who wish to get some rest after a long flight simply take a taxi into the city or request a luxury car transfer from the Eastin Grand Hotel in advance. 

On arrival at the hotel, contact Drive Car Rental and let us know when you need the vehicle. A representative will meet you and can bring it to the front door at any time. If a guest is not staying at the Eastin Grand Hotel, Drive Car Rental is happy to arrange a drop-off at the hotel of one’s choosing. Returning the vehicle is equally simple. 

Tips and Tricks for Travelers

Thailand’s time zone will be ahead of the UK, Europe, and the US. This means most flights from the west will arrive the day after the departure date. Many flights are overnight and arrive in the morning. 

Check Flight Times and Schedules

Always check your airline tickets to see what the arrival time is and ensure that you will have enough energy to drive when you arrive. For those who don’t sleep well on planes or are too tired, it’s a good idea to get an airport transfer to the hotel.

Understanding Vehicle Needs

A compact car is great for two or three people. However, when three or more people need a vehicle, luggage space is an important consideration. Those with multiple suitcases or larger bags need to make sure their car has adequate space. Consider upgrading to a full-size sedan or SUV for larger parties and luggage if needed. 

Electric vehicles are also an option, and they come with space in both the front and the back of the vehicle. Electric charging stations are available throughout Thailand’s major cities and highways. 

Booking for High Season Visits

November to April is the tourist high season in Thailand. Visitors arriving during these months are encouraged to book their vehicles as far in advance as possible to guarantee the best selection and pricing. Those who book early also get a 10% discount compared to renting at the desk on arrival.
