A chauffeur service provides a professional driver with a clean and well-maintained car to drive clients wherever they wish. Chauffeur services are ideal for airport transfers, business travellers, and visitors who want to ride in comfort and ease.
Drive Car Rental provides chauffeur services in Thailand at our Bangkok, Phuket, Chiang Mai, Krabi, Surat Thani and Samui locations. Our goal is to make it as easy as possible to fly in and drive away, whether you’re driving yourself or hiring one of our professional chauffeurs!
Typical Chauffeur Offerings
Chauffeurs are typically hired for a period of time or to travel to a specific destination. This can be a point-to-point trip, like airport transfers and shopping trips, or for a designated time, such as a half-day or full-day hire. No matter the parameters, most chauffeurs offer the following services:
Choice of Vehicle
In Thailand, passenger sedans and tour vans are the vehicles of choice. Sedans are designed for individuals, couples, and business travellers. Vans are more commonly used by large groups, families, and those who want room to stretch out and relax
Knowledgeable Driver
One of the main benefits of a chauffeur is freeing yourself from the need to navigate. Thailand’s cities can be sprawling with many one-way streets that are tricky for visitors. Having a local professional driver takes the worry out of your hands.
Flexibility
Group tours organised through agencies often have set itineraries that leave little time to explore. Chauffeurs give their customers the flexibility to choose whether to stay at a stop longer and explore or pack it up and head to the next destination.
Are Chauffeurs Expensive?
In Thailand, the cost of a chauffeur service is low enough that there may only be a slight difference between the cost of renting a vehicle to drive yourself and hiring a driver.
Travellers in a group can save even more money. Purchasing several bus tickets between major cities can quickly add up. Hiring a chauffeured van and sharing the cost can mean a cheaper, more flexible, and more comfortable journey. We offer city-to-city transfers for exactly this reason.
Chauffeurs from Drive Car Rental start as low as 300 baht (£7) for select destinations around town. Three-hour rentals start at 1,200 to 1,500 baht (£26 to £32), with hourly rates applying for additional time. We offer half-day, full-day, and weekly chauffeurs!
Additional Benefits
Having a local by your side can help you see the real Thailand. Many drivers have been to every corner of their respective cities, and they know all the best places and deals.
A short conversation can provide insight into the best places for authentic Thai experiences. Small temples, viewpoints, and local delights that aren’t on any travel blogger’s radar can sometimes be found simply by asking your driver for recommendations.
Finally, stress-free travel is one of the biggest benefits of having a chauffeur service. There’s no need to worry about picking up or dropping off vehicles, and parking is a non-issue. Just sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride. You just may see something spectacular you would have missed if your eyes were on the road!
