Estimate: a Car for 90 Days in Rawai with No Deposit, a Toyota Yaris Ativ with Full Insurance

Three months fall into the tier from 22 days with a 42% discount off the base rate, and a surcharge is added for each day in middle, high and peak season. The rental for 90 days comes to ฿72 660, or ฿810 a day.

Full insurance for this term costs ฿25 431. Without it you pay a refundable deposit at pickup: it stays with the rental company for all three months and comes back when you return the car without new damage, while damage that is your fault up to the ฿5,000 excess is taken from it.

The choice depends on which is worse for you: tying up the money or paying for scratches. With daily driving, insurance is usually the more sensible option: over 90 days of parking at markets and in narrow streets, a small scratch is quite likely. MonkeyCar does not take passports as collateral in either case.

• Full insurance from 7 days: no deposit and no excess
• The deposit is refundable; its amount is on the car's page
• Basic insurance is in the rental price either way

There is no prepayment. The first month is paid when you collect the car, then a payment is made once a month, in cash in baht, US dollars or euros at the exchange-office rate or by card via the terminal with a 7% bank fee. If you decide to stay longer or return the car early, message a manager on WhatsApp in advance: they will confirm how the price is recalculated before the booking changes.

• Monthly payment at the start of each rental month
• Extensions and early returns: agreed with a manager
• Cars for three months or more with a monthly price are on the long-term rental page
