Yearly Road Tax and Government Insurance

Road Tax Sticker

All vehicles must display a road tax sticker which must be renewed annually. Costs vary from 600-10,000 THB/per year depending on engine size and vehicle type (If in a company name the rate is double). Four door trucks and SUV’s will incur a luxury tax. 

In order to get this sticker you must also buy the government’s compulsory insurance called Por.Ror.Bo which covers the medical expenses of the other party involved in an accident (costs about 323-1300 THB.).  We can help you renew this on an annual basis. See the title services page for details.

Collision Insurance:

Our vehicles are up to date on the compulsory government insurance, but if you require more extensive coverage (recommended) we can arrange it for you. See our insurance page for details.
