About this record

Confirm the current contact point, vehicle availability and pickup arrangements directly before booking.

This entry preserves a Jomtien-area map coordinate that was once labelled as Expat Car & Pickup Rental Office 2. The coordinate alone is not evidence of a present-day branch. Expat Car Rent’s current site instead publishes one visitor address on Thappraya Road in Nongprue, along with daily 9am–5pm hours and the telephone number +66 38 252 275. Use those published details, rather than navigating to this historical pin, when arranging a rental or vehicle collection.

The company describes a fleet that includes small cars, sedans, pickup trucks, SUVs and seven-seat vehicles. Its current booking information differentiates the terms by vehicle group: small vehicles have a two-day minimum and a 5,000 THB refundable deposit; seven-seat vehicles, pickups and SUVs have a three-day minimum and a 7,000 THB deposit. PHEV and EV rentals are shown with a three-day minimum and a 10,000 THB deposit. Terms can change, so get the specific quote in writing before paying.

The operator site and the separate booking site are not interchangeable: the operator page is the current source for the Thappraya Road contact point and vehicle-specific deposits, while the booking site supplies the collection or delivery lead and an older general schedule. Confirm the exact vehicle, deposit and collection arrangement before payment.

Current published contact point

  • Address: 144/16 Moo 10, Thappraya Road, Nongprue, Pattaya City, Bang Lamung, Chon Buri 20260
  • Phone: +66 38 252 275
  • Published hours: daily, 9am–5pm
  • Status of this coordinate: historical map record, not a confirmed operating branch

Rental arrangements listed by the operator

  • Collection or delivery: the separate booking site says collection and delivery are available between Pattaya and Jomtien.
  • Included features: the official site lists first-class insurance, unlimited kilometres, breakdown cover, a second driver, child seats and a navigator.
  • Payment: the operator says major cards and cash are accepted, without requiring a credit card.

Before you go

The older booking site presents an earlier daily schedule of 8:45am–4:30pm and a general three-day minimum. The current official site has more detailed vehicle-specific terms and a different schedule, so its details are used here. Call or message before travelling, especially if asking for a Jomtien delivery or a pickup outside the stated hours.

Jay's Rent a Car

Jay's Rent a Car is a small, well-regarded car and motorbike rental outfit on Soi 7, Jomtien Beach — the kind of independent, family-run place expats point new arrivals toward rather than the faceless airport chains. It rents both cars and scooters/motorbikes on daily and monthly terms, and its reputation is built on the boring things that actually matter: clean, well-maintained vehicles, fair rates, flexible pick-up and return times, and full-coverage insurance included in the price rather than pushed as an expensive extra. Monthly motorbike hire runs around 3,000 baht with a deposit of roughly 1,500 baht, and the longer you rent, the better the rate — handy for long-stay visitors and snowbirds. Little touches like free water and coffee while you sort the paperwork, and staff who are genuinely helpful, come up again and again in reviews. Being on Soi 7 puts it right in the heart of Jomtien's expat strip, walkable from much of the beach-road accommodation. As with any Thai rental, bring your passport and, ideally, an International Driving Permit, and photograph the vehicle before you ride off. Call ahead to check availability and current daily rates, which aren't fully listed online.

Q Cars Pattaya

Q Cars Pattaya is a Jomtien vehicle-rental business with a published fleet, daily hours and short- and long-term rates.

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.
