Car hire in Laos: FAQs

The types of documents you’ll need to rent a car in Laos depend on the car rental company you go with. But in general, you will need a valid drivers license, ID and passport. Once you’ve booked car hire in Laos, you can easily get in touch with your chosen provider to find out.

It’s easy to hire a car in Laos. First, you need to decide where in Laos you want to pick up your car from.

Once you’ve decided where you want to go, simply enter your dates and search for the best deal for you. Once you’ve found your deal, you’ll be redirected to the provider to book with no extra fees.

You can rent a car for as long as you like, depending on availability. If you know what dates you’re needing wheels for, start searching with Skyscanner today.

It depends where in Laos you want to visit. The most popular place to go is Vientiane. On average, it costs £51 per day to rent a car there. The cheapest price we could find is £25 per day.

Most car hire deals in Laos include basic insurance cover. You don’t need to add excess insurance, but it’s worth thinking about.

In Laos, the excess (what you pay if the car gets damaged or stolen) ranges from £373 to £1,498, depending on who you book with. Excess insurance prices in Laos also vary by company.

You can buy excess insurance separately, which is usually cheaper than buying it through the car hire company.
It depends. Some car hire companies in Laos accept debit cards, others require a credit card. Check the company’s accepted payment methods before you book.

Either way, the card needs to be in the main driver's name and you'll need enough money on it to cover a security deposit. You’ll get that back when you return the car.
If you've booked car hire with free cancellation, you can usually cancel or change your booking without paying a fee. The time you have to cancel depends on the car hire company, but it's typically around 48 hours before pick-up. If you cancel after that, you may be charged.

If your booking doesn't include free cancellation, you'll need to check the car hire company's policy. Depending on when you cancel, you might need to pay a cancellation fee or you won’t get a refund.
We couldn’t find any electric car hire deals in Laos. More EVs are becoming available, so that could change in the future. If you're still looking for a lower-emission option, you can compare hybrid cars on Skyscanner.
The easiest way to compare car hire in Laos is to look at lots of companies at the same time, rather than checking each one individually.

Skyscanner is a comparison website. We search 7 car hire companies and compare prices across 186 available cars – so you don't have to.
Medium car hire is the most popular choice in Laos. Think models like the Hyundai Staria. Around 19% of recent Skyscanner bookings in Laos were for this type of car.
