TLDR : Answer Summary

The post seeks recommendations for reliable car rental services in Pattaya, Thailand, for a two-month stay from October to December. Comments suggest various options like Avis and CarFlexi, mention necessary preparations like securing maximum insurance and having an International Driving Permit (IDP), and note that daily rental rates are around 1000 baht.

When you get here, just go into any car rental ..not much difference in them.

Get an international driving license from the post office. If you don't you could get fined

Don't forget to bring an International driving permit mate (IDP). Needed if you haven't got a Thai Driving Licence.
