Why do many people choose to rent a van with a driver rather than drive themselves?

If you're planning a group trip—whether it's for a vacation, a merit-making trip, a company outing, or a family event—renting a van with a driver is one of the most convenient and cost-effective options.

While many are used to driving themselves, long hours behind the wheel aren’t always enjoyable, especially when traveling with a large group. Having a van allows everyone to travel comfortably in one vehicle, eliminates the need for multiple cars, and saves your energy so you can fully enjoy the trip.

 

Who is it suitable for?

Renting a van with a driver suits a wide range of groups—not just tour groups or companies as many might think. Take a look and see if you fit into any of these categories!

Large families / Families with elderly members

If you're traveling with seniors or young children, riding in a van ensures everyone's comfort—no crowding, no stress. Plus, with an experienced driver who knows the routes well, you can relax and enjoy the journey with peace of mind.

Groups of friends or travel gangs

Heading out with your friends? Why split up into separate cars? Renting a van together is way more fun—you can travel, laugh, play cards, or even sing karaoke together (especially in a VIP van with a TV and sound system!).

Companies / Organizations / Schools

For field trips, trainings, seminars, or corporate outings, a van is a cost-effective and well-organized option. Everyone arrives together, on time, and with more structure than using personal vehicles.

Religious events, weddings, family gatherings

Have relatives coming from other provinces? Need to take elders to a temple ceremony? A van is ideal for picking up and dropping off guests—especially VIP vans, which add a touch of elegance and provide professional hospitality.

Foreign tourists

If you’re hosting international friends and want to take them around the city or on a trip upcountry, renting a van with an English-speaking driver will make a great impression and eliminate travel worries in Thailand.

 

Benefits of Renting a Van with a Driver

Still deciding whether to rent a van or drive yourself? Here are the reasons why so many people love choosing a van rental with a driver:

1. No driving fatigue
No matter how skilled a driver you are, long-distance trips—especially those spanning hundreds of kilometers or overnight drives—can be exhausting. With a professional driver, you can fully relax and arrive refreshed, ready to enjoy your trip from start to finish.

2. Comfortable seating – perfect for group travel
Vans can accommodate 9–12 passengers (VIP models typically seat 7–9 with larger, more luxurious seats). There’s ample luggage space, cool air conditioning throughout the vehicle, and enough room for everyone to travel in comfort—unlike smaller cars that feel cramped.

3. Safety from experienced drivers
Professional van drivers are highly experienced and familiar with the routes. They drive responsibly, so you won’t need to worry about getting lost or the risks of fatigue-related accidents.

4. Go anywhere—including expressways with ease
Vans with drivers can take you just about anywhere—from mountains and countryside to city centers. The driver handles it all, including expressway access to save time and avoid traffic.

5. Suitable for all occasions—not just vacations
Whether it’s a merit-making trip, temple visit, wedding, funeral, family airport transfer, or VIP guest pickup, a van is versatile for all events. Choose from standard or VIP models equipped with LED lighting, reclining plush seats, TV, USB ports, and sound systems.
