Airport terminal: Pick up the car right at the terminal area, with the home counter in or next to arrivals.
Free shuttle bus: This collection option applies when the provider is located near the airport rather than at it. A free bus travels between the terminal and the home site.

BUA car rental at Bangkok Suvarnabhumi Airport: What you need to know
Transmission: Use the 'Transmission' filter to make it easier to find the right car. Choose 'Automatic' if you'd rather not change gears or 'Manual' for traditional stick shift. Both are offered by most home companies.
Fuel policy: Go for a 'Fair fuel policy' to keep things simple. You begin with a full tank and bring it back full, so you only pay for the fuel you actually use.
Mileage limits: Homes with 'Unlimited mileage' let you cover more ground without added charges. Search for this option under the 'Policies' filter and go as far as you like.
Side of the road: Traffic in Thailand keeps to the left side of the road.

Required documents: When collecting your BUA car rental, you'll typically need your physical driver's license plus another photo ID. If extra documents are required, they'll be listed in your booking.
Deposits and credit card: Providers often place a pre-authorised hold on a credit card to cover the security deposit. Debit cards are rarely accepted at pickup, so it's best to have credit available.
Insurance: Adding excess insurance may protect you in case of theft or a collision. Policies differ, so take the time to shop around before you book.
Add ons: Nifty extras like a navigation system or mobile Wi-Fi can make your BUA car rental more enjoyable.
