Phuket Car Rental Information
Car Rent and Motorbike Hire
Car Rent in Phuket
One of the best ways to see Phuket is to hire a car and drive around.
There are many scenic roads, particularly on the West Coast.
It's fun, easy and best of all - inexpensive.
Here are some car rental companies, all offer full insurance.
Although driving here is easy, you must ensure that you follow
these guidelines
- In Thailand driving is on the left side of the
road, as in the UK, Singapore and numerous other countries.
- A valid International License or Thai Driving
License is essential.
- Seat belt wearing and drink driving laws apply,
and are occasionally enforced.
- Full Comprehensive Insurance is a must. Beware
of street side vendors with signs saying 'With Insurance' - usually
the level of insurance is very very basic and would not cover
the car, nor passengers - just third party injuries or damage.

Motorbike Rent
There are many road side vendors that offer motor bikes for rent,
from the zippy 100cc moped type to the 750cc road race variety.
Our advice is to avoid renting bikes under any circumstance.
No motorbike is insurable, regardless of what the vendor tells
you, and many a persons holiday has been ruined by an accident on
a bike here. If you have an accident you will almost certainly be
responsible for all bike repairs (or costly replacement), all medical
bills for yourself and any other involved parties - regardless of
who was to blame. |
