KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Phuket City

  • If you are traveling to Phuket City and would like to stay over there for some time, we recommend that you book one of the many cheap car rentals in Phuket City. The good thing about doing so is that you will not have to struggle, especially because there are a number of choices to choose from. You can use these cheap car rentals in Phuket City to visit nearby attractions and get back to the city center within no time. You can visit attractions such as the Sunday Walking Street Market. It will only take you ten minutes to drive and get here. You can also visit Monkey Hill, which will take you approximately twenty minutes to drive.
  • Phuket, being a busy city and popular tourist destination, tends to clog up during rush hour. Navigating through the streets may need some extra concentration plus an ounce of patience. Keep an eye out for Ghost riders, Thai drivers who prefer to ride on the opposite side of the road rather than doing the next U-turn. You can double-check before making a turn and let some time pass by for each trip. Pay attention to the big intersections like the Chalong intersection which links the Rawai and Nai Harn regions with the rest of Phuket to avoid getting confused.
  • Vacationers who are planning to explore the city but on short trips should consider the mini vehicles. Cheap Phuket City car rentals offer such automobiles. They’re the most popular cars in the city and are convenient in terms of gas efficiency as you perambulate through the city. Other perks of these mini cars are their ease to fit into narrow parking spaces and affordability. With that being said, you’re not limited to these fast riders only. Mid-size, standard, and luxury are the other options at your service.
  • One of the most exciting aspects of any trip abroad is exploring the countryside. This is especially so in Phuket City because of its vibrant surroundings. However, if you truly want to get out and explore, then driving your own vehicle is the best means to get off the beaten path car, as the only other options in the city are taxis, buses, or tuk tuks.
  • Excited to begin your trip in Phuket City? If so and you are planning on renting a vehicle during your time in the city, Phuket International Airport’s rental car counters can be found in the Arrivals Hall.
  • Drivers new to Phuket City should make sure to keep their eyes peeled for any animals or pedestrians crossing the road suddenly. In the case of animals, there are many strays located in the outskirts of the city that often enjoy sunbathing by the road, so be cautious when driving. In terms of pedestrians, Phuket City is a lively town (especially at night), so many pedestrians will be out and about.
  • Rush hour in Phuket City is luckily not nearly as severe as it is in Bangkok. On a normal day, the morning rush hour is a mere hour long and lasts from 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. during the work week. However, the afternoon and evening rush hour is somewhat more severe and it generally starts at around 4:00 p.m. and then tapers off at around 7:00 p.m.
  • 25% of our users found rental cars in Phuket City for $22 or less
  • Book your rental car in Phuket City at least 4 days before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Economy rental cars in Phuket City are around 37% cheaper than other car types, on average

FAQs about renting a car in Phuket City

  • What type of car is recommended for driving in Phuket City?

    Phuket City’s streets are, for the most part, large and well maintained. Drivers should have no issues driving all sorts of vehicles, from SUVs and trucks to sedans and compacts. If you plan on exploring the countryside, it may even be advantageous to have a larger vehicle.

Had a small scratch and the fine is unacceptably high compare to actual cost! It is so unfair for the customer which should actually be investigated by consumer rights authorities. Believe this is probably one of their main revenue stream rather then the rental itself.
