$26 Cheap Car Rental in Tha Tako

If your trip to Tha Tako is all locked in but your itinerary is a little on the empty side, we can give you a helping hand.Nothing beats a little insider knowledge when it comes to things to do and see. Book a rental car with CarRentals.com, check in with the locals about what’s good and then step on the gas!

With some great road trip options in the surrounding area, having your own car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to explore all that Uthai Thani, 35 miles away, has to offer. Wat Tha Sung, Khao Sakae Krang and Uthai Thani Stadium alone justify the drive. Locals will also probably point you in the direction of Lop Buri, 60 miles away. If you only see one attraction here, make sure it’s Phra Prang Sam Yod. (But we’d also recommend King Narai National Museum and Wat Sao Thong Thong.)

Rent some wheels and enjoy Tha Tako your way. Love to head out into some nature? Consider an SUV. This vehicle is perfect for those after outdoor adventures. Just want to get from A to B and traveling with just a few bags? If you aren’t planning on driving very far, a fuel-efficient mini is a terrific option.

You’ll be glad to hear that there’s a huge range of luxury rental vehicles on offer in Tha Tako. What you opt for is largely dependent on what you’re willing to spend and what you’re planning to do. Specialty and prestige vehicles are hard to beat if you’re all about mod cons and comfort. If you feel like splashing out, why not grab an SUV with all the bells and whistles, or perhaps a slick mid-sized vehicle? Otherwise, if you’re just after something to whiz around town in as economically as possible, stick with a no-frills compact vehicle (or something else that won’t burn a hole in your wallet).

Keep on the left-hand side of the road in Tha Tako. If you plan to explore this destination on wheels, take note that the driver’s seat will be on the right. It could take a little getting used to!
