How this helps travel recommendations
Turns Thailand vehicle rental into source-backed decisions: whether the company legally exists, where pickup actually happens, whether the offer is self-drive or with-driver, what insurance/deposit terms apply, whether a motorcycle needs separate license logic, and which layer can actually prove live availability.

Developer reference
Use Open DBD for legal rental-company identity, DLT for vehicle/license macro context, OCPB for controlled-contract rules, BOT for long-term leasing boundaries, AOT for airport counters, Booking/Expedia/Sabre/Amadeus/CarTrawler/Skyscanner for live offers where authorized, and OSM/Google/Longdo/NOSTRA for branch or shop enrichment.
Refresh weekly or when the catalog metadata changes; many agency catalogs update irregularly.

curl -L "https://www.ocpb.go.th/news_view_en.php?nid=17127"Failure modes
- There is no single all-rental Thailand API.
- A legal company record does not prove every branch, airport desk, or vehicle in stock.
- Airport counter pages show presence, not live availability or confirmed booking inventory.
- Motorcycle rental, self-drive car rental, with-driver services, peer rental, and long-term leasing need separate service models.
- Commercial booking APIs are the only reliable source for live rates, deposit, excess, and one-way fee fields.
- A vehicle class or ACRISS code often means 'or similar', not a guaranteed exact model.
- Compulsory insurance does not equal full rental protection, and contract fairness does not prove broad coverage.
