- It's difficult to answer. It is a matter of chance. It’s possible time to drive without problems for a long, and then get into an accident. You may be an experienced and very careful driver, but you can’t answer for others people - someone could easily enter into you, and it’s can be not only other car, but a motorcycle also.

- European people accustomed to right-hand traffic. Proceeding from their practice say that it is difficult only for the first 3-4 hours behind the wheel, when you're driving up to an intersection and you think, where did you have to turn to not go into the oncoming lane. We usually no have accidents, when someone go to the wrong lane, usually accidents happen because of insufficient distance when someone enters into you or you enter into someone.

- Which drive license customer must have, to no have problems with insurance company?

- International or national.

- Do you take passport from the person who took a car for rent, in escrow?

- Of course not. Passport - it is the property of the country when its issued, and no one has the right to take it as escrow. So if somebody from any company will ask you to give your passport as escrow, you have to know – it’s illegal. At 5 Star Auto we only take the copy of the passport and immediately surrender to the owner. We charge deposit 5 000 baht for any car. Before removing the vehicle tenant together with the manager it carefully inspects and fixes all the scratches and dents, if any have.
