Phuket Car Rental Information

Car Rent and Motorbike Hire

One of the best ways to see Phuket is to hire a car and drive around. There are many scenic roads, particularly on the West Coast. It's fun, easy and best of all - inexpensive.

Car Rental in Phuket

Here are some car rental companies, all offer full insurance.

Although driving here is easy, you must ensure that you follow these guidelines

In Thailand driving is on the left side of the road, as in the UK, Singapore and numerous other countries.
A valid International License or Thai Driving License is essential.
Seat belt wearing and drink driving laws apply, and are occasionally enforced.
Full Comprehensive Insurance is a must. Beware of street side vendors with signs saying 'With Insurance' - usually the level of insurance is very very basic and would not cover the car, nor passengers - just third party injuries or damage.

Motorbike Rent

There are many road side vendors that offer motor bikes for rent, from the zippy 100cc moped type to the 750cc road race variety. Our advice is to avoid renting bikes under any circumstance.

No motorbike is insurable, regardless of what the vendor tells you, and many a persons holiday has been ruined by an accident on a bike here. If you have an accident you will almost certainly be responsible for all bike repairs (or costly replacement), all medical bills for yourself and any other involved parties - regardless of who was to blame.

Getting Around Phuket

Getting Around in Phuket is easy. Most of the beach resorts are small enough to walk around and most hotels are located close to the beach, restaurants and shopping areas. If you'd rather not walk, or if your hotel is not on one of the main beaches, your hotel can arrange for a taxi or tuk tuk. There are also plenty of places to hire cars or you can take the local bus Read More...
