KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Patong

  • Public transportation in Patong can get crowded, especially during peak tourist seasons. Having a rental car allows you to avoid crowded buses or taxis and travel more comfortably. With a car, you can explore hidden beaches, local markets, and lesser-known attractions that might not be accessible by public transport. Some of the spots that people often visit in car rentals in Patong include Freedom Beach, Karon Viewpoint, Big Buddha, and Phuket Old Town.
  • If you want to use an airport for your Patong car rentals, your best choice in this area is the Phuket International Airport (HKT).
