What You'll Need

• Valid passport
• International Driving Permit (IDP) for bikes over 50cc
• Security deposit: ฿3,000–5,000 (refundable)
• Thai phone number (for WhatsApp communication)

Tips for Long-Term Riders

• Choose a reliable model — Honda Click and PCX are the most popular for a reason: they're bulletproof reliable
• Do regular checks — Oil level, tire pressure, brake pads weekly
• Park in covered areas — Bangkok sun and rain can damage your bike's paint and seat
• Keep the receipt — You'll need it at police checkpoints
• Report issues immediately — Don't ignore warning lights or strange noises

Extending Your Rental

Most shops allow you to extend month-to-month with 3–5 days notice. If you decide to extend, you usually keep the same rate. Some shops offer discounts for 3+ month commitments.

Returning the Bike

When you're done, bring the bike back with a full tank of fuel. The shop will do a quick inspection. If there's no damage beyond normal wear and tear, your deposit is returned immediately.
