TLDR : Answer Summary

Many expats recommend exploring local Thai car rental companies to save money compared to major international firms. Suggestions include Thai Rent a Car, with monthly rates and reasonable deposits, and local options like Highway Auto. One user mentioned a good experience with Hertz for a rental deal in Phuket. It's also advised to shop around and possibly have a local assist with bookings.
