Frequently asked questions

Can I rent a car from Phuket Intl. Airport (HKT)?
You sure can. Once you've collected your bags at Phuket Intl. Airport (HKT), you'll find the rental car centre on the first floor of the international and domestic terminals. Book a ride that's right for you with Chic Car Rent, Budget or Biz. National and Avis are also worth having a look at.
What happens if I need to cancel my Phuket car reservation?
When you cancel at least six hours ahead of pickup, many reservations offer a complete refund. However, not all are eligible for this, so it's important to read the rental policy. Check your confirmation for the specifics or click through to our Customer Service Portal for more information.
What types of cars can I rent in Phuket?
Perfect for short journeys and squeezing into tight car spaces, minis are the most booked car type in Phuket. With superb fuel economy, you'll save on gas as you cruise around the city's iconic sights. These spirited little rides aren't the only options available though. Luxury, standard, compact ... You name it, we're likely to have it!
Where can I go on a road trip from Phuket?
There's heaps to do in Phuket, but venture further afield and you'll find even more magic. Rent a set of wheels and you can discover the surrounding region at your leisure. Add these awesome places to your to-do list:
  • You'll find Central Plaza Suratthani and many other intriguing sights in Surat Thani. From Phuket, it's around 177 kilometres away.
  • Situated 177 kilometres away, Nakhon Si Thammarat is also a favourite with wanderers. Make sure you get to Wat Phra Mahathat Woramahawihaan while you're in town. It's one of the reasons people love coming to this colourful city.
  • Get out into nature and take in the serenity at Namuang Waterfall 1. You'll find it approximately 241 kilometres from Phuket.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Phuket?
Drivers 21 and over can go road-tripping around Phuket in a rental car. If you're a young driver, a daily surcharge applies. You'll usually have fewer car categories to choose from, such as economy and compact, and may also be required to purchase an all-inclusive insurance rate. Be sure to enter the correct age of the primary driver when booking to learn if any restrictions or extra fees apply.
What do you need to rent a car in Phuket?
Be prepared to present a valid driver's licence and a credit card at the rental counter. Before pickup, check with your selected company whether anything else is needed. For example, you may also need to provide proof of insurance.
What side of the road do you drive on in Phuket?
In Phuket and across Thailand, you'll need to drive on the left-hand side. This in itself can be daunting, but the driver's seat and some controls are also on the other side to what you're used to. For a safe journey, take things slow at first and allow yourself extra time to get to your next stop.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Phuket?
You can rent a vehicle for a month or longer in Phuket, so go ahead and extend your hard-earned holiday! Simply enter your trip information into our long-term car rental deals page and reserve your ideal ride.
Where can I find a Phuket car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to check the age policy of the Phuket rental providers you're considering. If you're under the age of 25, some outlets will charge additional fees. It's useful to know this ahead of time so you can plan your budget accordingly. Each rental car company has its own policies for young drivers, so be sure to do your research.
