Why hire a private driver in Bangkok?
Bangkok traffic is slow, parking is hard, and the drive home from a club at 4am is no job for anyone in the group.
Your driver knows the shortcuts, drops you at the door and waits nearby until you're ready. Nobody has to stay sober, and nobody hunts for a taxi.
Your car is at the door. Tanner has the timing.
How much is a private driver?
The van is a day rate; the special cars Tanner prices for your date. Either way it's one price per car, whoever rides in it, and the total is back the same day.
On arrival day, the luxury van and our meet-and-assist go on one total, with cars matched to your plan and expressway tolls already in.
Ask Tanner which cars fit your group.

Better than Grab?
For a group, yes. One van waits outside every stop, while ten of you need three or four app cars for every trip.
A Grab from Suvarnabhumi into the city is priced by the app, and it surges when demand is high.
For the arrival, see Bangkok airport transfer.
Put the whole group in one van, and nobody waits on an app.

The airport, Pattaya and day trips
Your driver meets you at Suvarnabhumi or Don Mueang. Add our private meet-and-assist service: our host meets you at the gate, using the priority lane where your ticket or status allows; see airport fast track.
Bangkok to Pattaya is about two hours by road in the party van; see Bangkok to Pattaya.
The same drivers can run the airport, Bangkok and Pattaya, so the faces stay the same all trip.
They take the day out of town too, with the car waiting at every stop. Hua Hin is about three hours by car on Phetkasem Road. Khao Yai is 2.5 to 3 hours to the park, and Kanchanaburi about 2.5 hours by private car. See Bangkok to Khao Yai.
Insider tip: leave before Friday evening, when the drive south to Hua Hin can take one to two hours longer.
Name the town, and Tanner prices the day for your route.
Who drives for you
A local professional booked by our operations team, with one rule on every booking: no drinking, all day.
Back-seat belts have been the law since 2022, and the driver will remind you. On temple days drivers drive, so add a licensed guide.
For security, licensed close protection is ฿9,000 an officer for an 8-hour shift; see bodyguards.
Add an officer to the car, and security rides with you.
Planning a group? Have the car waiting
When should you book the car?
With the hotel or villa: two to three weeks ahead in a normal month, and a month ahead from December to April, when the best cars go first.
Book by January for Songkran, 13 to 15 April 2027. For New Year's Eve, book the cars with the boat and the table; see New Year's Eve in Thailand. Friday afternoons are the slowest time to leave for Pattaya, so we plan around them.
Hold the cars with the villa.
Supercars and the big arrival
Want luxury car rental in Bangkok for the big arrival? A supercar, a Mercedes or a limousine comes with a driver, for the moment the group pulls up at the club. Tanner prices each one for your date.
The vans bring everyone else and the bags, so nobody misses the entrance. Going city to city? See private jets and helicopters.
Tanner's pick: the supercar for the arrival, the Alphard for the rest of the evening.
Ask Tanner which supercar is free on your date.

Questions
Before you book the cars
How much is a private driver in Bangkok for a day?
From ฿6,500 for 10 hours in an Alphard-type luxury van for up to 4, tolls on your route included. A party van takes up to 10, and Mercedes, BMW, limousines and supercars are priced to your trip.
Can we rent a supercar in Bangkok?
Yes, with a driver, priced to your trip, for an arrival at the rooftop or the club. For moving the whole group, a luxury van or a party van is the better buy.
Limousine or private driver?
A hotel limousine is one car for one trip. A private driver with us stays with you for 10 hours and waits outside every stop, from the rooftop to the club.
Does the driver wait outside the club?
Yes. The driver waits nearby at every stop, inside your 10 hours, and is right outside when the club closes. Everyone goes home together.
Can the driver take us from Bangkok to Pattaya?
Yes. It's about two hours by road, ฿3,500 each way in a party van for up to 10. The same drivers can also meet you at the airport and run the Bangkok days.
Can we hire a driver for a day trip from Bangkok?
Yes. Hua Hin, Khao Yai, Kanchanaburi and Pattaya all work as a day out, with the driver waiting at every stop. Day trips are priced to the route, so ask Tanner for yours.
Is a private driver in Bangkok safe?
Yes. Every driver is a local professional booked by our operations team, with one rule: no drinking, all day. Back-seat belts are the law, and licensed close protection can ride along.
Should we tip a private driver in Bangkok?
Tips aren't in the price. A tip isn't required, but it's welcome: about US$10 to 20 for a full day is usual, and a little more after a late finish is a kind thank-you.
Can we self-drive a luxury car in Bangkok?
Not with us: every car comes with a driver. For a group going out, that's the point. Nobody drives after a drink, and the car waits outside.
Can the car meet us at the airport?
Yes. The driver meets you at Suvarnabhumi or Don Mueang with your plan in Thai, and takes the group straight to the hotel or the villa.
