Expat Car & Pickup Rental Head Office

Expat Car & Pickup Rental's head-office record corresponds with the operator's published Thappraya Road office in Nong Prue. Its main website lists daily hours of 09:00–17:00, car categories from small vehicles to SUVs and pickups, and vehicle-specific deposits. A separate booking site lists slightly earlier hours and a blanket three-day minimum, so confirm your collection time and rental terms directly. This is a practical option for multi-day Pattaya stays, not a walk-in choice to assume will meet every booking request.

The current office record

The operator’s main website identifies this as its Pattaya office: 144/16 Moo 10 on Thappraya Road, Nong Prue. That sits with a May 2025 rental report describing Expat Car Rent at the Thepprasit–Thappraya junction. For collection, this is the address to enter into navigation, then confirm with the company on the day.

Terms worth checking before booking

The company lists small cars, sedans, pickups, SUVs, seven-seat vehicles and PHEV/EV models. Published refundable deposits range from ฿5,000 for small vehicles to ฿10,000 for PHEV/EV bookings. It also says first-class insurance and unlimited kilometres are included, but an individual booking may still have terms that matter for excess, delivery or a specific model.

Minimum hire length is another point to check. The main site differentiates between two days for small vehicles and three for larger categories. The older booking site still states three days across the board. That makes this suitable for visitors planning several days of driving, but less straightforward for an overnight or single-day errand.

Practical recommendation

Use this head office if you want a car for at least a few days and can collect near Thappraya Road during daytime hours. Before paying a deposit, obtain the vehicle category, insurance position, exact opening time and return process in writing. Skip it if your only need is an immediate short rental; the published minimums make that a poor fit.

Before you go

The honest take

Practical context to consider before you choose.

  • The operator's two websites show different hours and general minimum-rental wording.
  • Published deposit requirements rise for larger and electric vehicles.

Frequently asked questions

Is this Expat Car Rent's current Pattaya office?

Yes. The operator lists 144/16 Moo 10, Thappraya Road, Nong Prue as its visit address, and a May 2025 ASEAN NOW report places the business at the Thepprasit–Thappraya junction. The two sources support this head-office record rather than an unverified branch listing.

When is the head office open?

The current main website says daily 09:00–17:00. The older booking site says 08:45–16:30, so there is a published discrepancy. Treat 09:00–17:00 as the current guide and contact the office before arranging a collection near either end of the day.

Which rental periods does Expat Car Rent publish?

The main site lists at least two days for small cars and at least three days for seven-seat vehicles, pickups and SUVs. It also promotes long-term rentals. The booking site still says a three-day minimum for all rentals, so the particular vehicle’s live booking terms should decide the plan.

Do I need a credit card to rent?

The operator says it accepts major credit cards and cash, and advertises that a credit card is not required. That is not a substitute for a booking confirmation: ask which payment methods and refundable deposit arrangement apply to your rental before travelling to the office.
