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). Here you will find services from a large selection of both global rental brands as well as more local options. In total, there are 11 companies that operate here, and all of them offer the convenience of having rental desks adjacent to the baggage claim area and cars that sit right outside in the adjacent parking lots.
  • Car rentals in Patong drive on the left-hand side of the road. If you are not used to driving on the left, it may take some time to adjust. Motorbikes are a common mode of transportation in Patong, and they often weave through traffic. Be cautious and aware of motorbikes around you while driving. Some roads in Patong may be narrow and winding, especially if you venture outside the main tourist areas. Watch out for potholes and uneven surfaces. Tuk-tuks, which are three-wheeled vehicles, and taxis are readily available in Patong, and they can be found in huge numbers on main streets, so take care when sharing the road with them.
  • On weekdays between the hours of 7:00 am and 9:00 am and during the evening rush hour period between 5:00 pm and 7:00 pm, traffic can be heavy on main roads like Rat-U-Thit 200 Pee Road, Thawewong Road (Patong Beach Road), and Prachanukhro Road. Traffic can also be heavier during special events such as the Patong Carnival, which takes place in November and marks the start of the high tourist season. You may also find heavy traffic during Loy Krathong, which also falls in November.

    Parking in this area can be confusing, as there are various spaces near hotels and shopping malls.

Look out for a "P" sign along with a terminal for payment services; these are good places to park. Some entertainment complexes and business centers offer free parking for visitors, but they may also provide paid parking options. The parking fees can vary, but on average, you should expect to pay around ฿10 (about $0.30) per hour for parking.
