Car Rental

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.
