car rental in Ubon

[Carnwadrick]

I am looking to rent a car in Ubon, Oct. 13 to 19,2008 any one know of a local agency that will not rip me off. thanks in advance

For convenience,it's hard to argue with the car rental desk at Ubon airport.
Maybe not the cheapest in town, but last time I looked they seemed reasonable. It's a family business, so not Avis or Hertz prices-

Ubon Ratchathani Private Transportation

Theres another company listed that does older vehicle rentals, so u can compare.

I have only used Budget or Hertz or what ever at Ubon airport. A bit pricey but booked online and couldn't fault the service.

I can't speak for Ubon, but in Udon I initially made the mistake of using the desk at the airport. For a decent twin cab pickup it was B1800/day.

On the subsequent trip I listened to the g/f () and paid B450/day for the same in the local Tambon (with him picking up at the aitport FOC). Hire of driver was B200/day, which I used twice so I could get royally pissed!

^ I agree that a local hire is much cheaper, but you need to have someone 'on the ground' to sort it out.

landline is the wrong number but have left a message on the mobile. Other joint seemed quite expensive (2000 baht a day)

[MeMock]

mobile number is also incorrect.
