What documents do I need to exit Thailand and enter Laos with a car that I do not own?
What papers do I need to leave Thailand/enter Laos on a car that's not mine?
Answer summary
To leave Thailand and enter Laos with a car that is not yours, you will need a passport and a declaration from the car's owner granting you permission to use the vehicle. Additionally, if the car is under financing, you will need approval from the financing company. Many commenters suggest that transporting a vehicle not owned by you can be cumbersome and may not even be feasible, advising travelers to consider crossing the border without a vehicle and renting one on the Laotian side instead.

A pain in the ass. A bad idea. Maybe not even possible. I bring my truck over, but I own it and it took a long while to do it the first time. Better idea would be to cross over without a vehicle, and rent one on the other side.
