What do you need to rent a car in Mae Lao?
Before you can hop behind the wheel in Mae Lao, you'll need a driver's licence and a credit card. If you decline to take out the company's insurance plan, you may also have to show proof of your own coverage. Requirements may vary, so read the contract terms and conditions before you select a rental provider.
What side of the road do you drive on in Mae Lao?
If you're renting a car in Mae Lao or planning a road trip in greater Thailand, get ready to drive on the left side of the road. Also, the driver's seat and some controls will be on a different side to what you're used to in the U.S. This may take a while to get the hang of, so drive with extra caution.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Mae Lao?

Some may rent to drivers under the age of 25, some may not. Surcharges may apply if you're between 21 and 24 years of age. To avoid any nasty surprises at the rental counter, make sure you do your research.
