Is Avis and Budget Don Mueang well rated?

Before you book at Don Mueang Airport
A few practical points apply to every desk at Don Mueang: Thailand drives on the left, so factor in a short adjustment period if you're used to right-hand traffic. Most desks ask for an International Driving Permit alongside your home licence — bring both, since some counters have refused rentals over this in the past. Deposit holds are usually placed on a credit card rather than taken in cash, and most companies expect the tank returned at the same level it was collected at, so keep the receipt from your last fill-up near the airport.
