KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Surat Thani

  • One of the biggest advantages of renting cheap car rentals in Surat Thani is the flexibility it provides. With Surat Thani car rentals, you can explore the city and nearby attractions at your own pace without worrying about public transportation schedules or availability. This is especially important in Surat Thani, where public transportation is limited and not always reliable. Surat Thani is a gateway to many popular tourist destinations, such as Koh Samui, Koh Phangan, and Khao Sok National Park. If you have a car rental in Surat Thani, you can easily drive to these attractions and explore them at your leisure.
  • Phuket City Airport (HKT) is about 230 km (142 miles) from Surat Thani. The rental car offices at HKT are located in the terminal building. Ko Samui Airport (USM) is about 111 km (68 miles) from Surat Thani. The rental car offices are located in the arrival hall. Krabi Airport (KBV) is about 154 km (95 miles) from Surat Thani. The rental car offices at KBV are located outside the terminal building, and some rental car companies do offer shuttles from the airport to their offices. Surat Thani Airport (URT) is the closest airport to Surat Thani as it is 27 km (16 miles) away. Rental car offices at URT are located in the arrival hall of the airport.
  • Driving cheap car rentals in Surat Thani can be quite different from driving in other countries, so it's important to be aware of the rules and norms before hitting the road. Drivers in Surat Thani may drive quite aggressively, and there are often a lot of motorbikes on the road. It's important to pay attention to the rules and signage on the road. One unique example is the use of "Thai Stoppers," which are small, hand-held stop signs used by police officers to direct traffic. Drivers should also be aware of speed limits and be cautious when driving Surat Thani car rentals on rural roads.
  • Rush hour in Surat Thani is usually from 7:00 am to 5:00 pm every day. During these times, traffic can be heavy and slow-moving, and it is important to exercise caution and be patient when driving car rentals in Surat Thani. The roads most affected by rush hour traffic are the major arterial roads in and around the city center, including Surat Thani-Nakhon Si Thammarat Road, Surat Thani-Phunphin Road, and Phetchakasem Road. Surat Thani experiences a tropical climate, with a rainy season from May to October.

Everything was great other than drop off experience in Phuket Airport. 1. Hertz parking lot is not clear. I needed to make 2 circles but still couldn't find. I parked finally somewhere suitable for me and went to office in the Airport. 2. Hertz officer asked me to pay for car park cash. I never paid for car parking in airports when I dropped off rental cars before.
