Car Rental in Phuket

Depends on the provider: most accept either, some place a hold on a card instead of taking cash. Check the method with the manager when booking a specific car.

An International Driving Permit (IDP), category B, or a national license with an official English/Thai translation. Without one, insurance will almost certainly deny a claim after an accident.

A budget 2015-2022 sedan or hatchback (Toyota Vios, Toyota Yaris, Honda City, Nissan Almera) costs 15,000-21,000 THB a month, while newer cars such as the Toyota Yaris Ativ, Honda City 2023 or MG5 cost 22,000-30,000 THB. Crossovers and the 7-seat Toyota Veloz run 27,000-39,000 THB, Fortuner, MU-X and Everest SUVs 48,000-55,000 THB, and a Toyota Hiace van about 60,000 THB. The site adds no markup to the supplier's price.

Yes, many rental companies bring the car to the arrivals area: a staff member meets you with a name sign, you inspect the car together and sign the contract right in the car park. When booking, give the manager your flight number and landing time so they wait for you if the flight is late. Some suppliers charge for airport delivery, and the amount is quoted in advance. You can also return the car at the airport; allow time for the inspection before check-in.

Every car has compulsory Por Ror Bor insurance, but it only pays for treating injured people (up to 80,000 THB per person) and does not cover repairs to any vehicle. Repairs to the rented car, including when you are at fault, are covered by voluntary first-class (Class 1) insurance. It almost always has an excess, usually 2,000-10,000 THB per claim. Ask the manager about the policy class and the excess before booking.

Stop, switch on the hazard lights and check whether anyone is hurt: in Thailand the ambulance number is 1669 and the tourist police number is 1155. Do not move the car unless necessary, photograph the scene, the damage and the plates, and call the rental company right away. The insurer usually sends a representative to the scene to write a report. Do not sign documents you do not understand and do not discuss money without the rental company.

The island is linked to the mainland by bridges at Sarasin in the north, so Phang Nga or Khao Lak are about 1.5-2 hours away by car and Krabi about 3 hours. Many rental companies allow such trips, but conditions vary, so tell the manager your route before booking. Taking the car on a ferry to other islands usually needs the rental company's separate consent, and insurance may not apply outside the agreed area.

A family of 4-5 with suitcases will be comfortable in a Toyota Yaris Cross, Corolla Cross or MG ZS crossover; for 6-7 people choose the 7-seat Toyota Veloz or a Fortuner, MU-X or Everest SUV, which cost 27,000-55,000 THB a month in the catalog. Under Thai law, children under 6 must ride in a child seat or booster, with a fine of up to 2,000 THB. Child seat availability depends on the rental company, so request one from the manager when booking.

The deposit confirms your booking. If you decline the service on the spot, the deposit is refunded in full. If the deal goes ahead, the deposit is deducted from the total price.
