Phuket Car Rental and Motorcycle Rental Strategies

Phuket is a very important tourist destination in Thailand and the most famous island in Thailand. There are various types of motorcycles and many pickup trucks on the island. Friends who like to rent cars suggest that it is safer to rent a motorcycle. Below is a detailed guide to renting a car in Phuket.

Unlike Bangkok, rentals here start at 300 baht, so if we need a taxi, it's the next hot commodity.

You can choose the one you want.

In addition, if domestic friends want to drive in Phuket, self-driving is also a good experience, but there are many Phuket mountain roads that put safety first. One of them is opposite the domestic road, so it takes some time to get familiar with it. I have been driving for over ten years. At first, I was able to get familiar with Takuya without driving, but I was a little uncomfortable with roundabouts.

: There are two common means of transportation for rent here

1. Rent a car

For the first car, choose the model according to your needs. It is recommended to rent at the airport. There are many counters at the airport that are open 24 hours a day, and you can drive when you get off the plane and when you go back.

It saves a lot of fares, and of course you can also use some apps. Remember to choose full insurance so you are less likely to get stuck. If you have any questions, you can also contact insurance. If you rent it from a roadside store, be sure to record the video with your mobile phone while driving around and save it so that if there is any problem, it can be easily solved.

2. Rent a scooter

First of all, you must wear a helmet and take your time. There are various types of motorcycles in Phuket, like lambs, racing cars, street cars, and rental motorcycles. You have to record a video. The motorcycles here are all imported from Japan, so the prices are still relatively expensive. Try to avoid falls and scratches while keeping your ideas safe.

Generally, a 125cc scooter starts from 150 baht/day, and the more days, the more cost-effective it is.

The price will vary depending on the displacement.

Of course, large motorcycles are more expensive than small cars. Then we can ride my beloved scooters and never have a traffic jam. One problem with riding a motorcycle is that the police will check your driver’s license.

So, everyone, I suggest you spend a few dollars on Taobao to get a translator. The policeman will do things purely based on his mood. When he sees something and you have a helmet, he doesn't care. The police officers will check cars at the intersections in each area.

In addition, our friends who love drinking, please note, drunk driving will be cheated here. If you don’t want to lose your wallet, don’t drink and drive and be responsible for your own safety.
