Top tips for renting a car in Phuket

  • Phuket has well-maintained roads, but a few can have potholes. Some roads in the city are narrow, while those around mountainous regions have sharp corners. Generally, a standard rental, such as a sedan is ideal for driving in Phuket. However, you should consider a 4x4 vehicle if visiting the island during the wet season since roads can get pretty slippery.
  • All kids under 12 should be in an appropriate car seat so long as the vehicle is not parked. Children under six or 1.35 m (4.4 ft) in height should be restrained in a booster seat and have the seat belt strapped. Meanwhile, those above six should be in secured child seats. They should not sit in the front seat. You also cannot leave children in a parked car alone without the supervision of an adult.
  • Car rental agencies in Phuket have travel restrictions for Phuket car rentals. Almost all agencies restrict rentals from driving outside the island. You can drive the rentals to any corner of Phuket, but you cannot drive outside the island. However, inform your rental provider of your driving plans, and they will give you full information about their border-crossing policy since agencies have different travel restrictions.
  • Road signs in Phuket are visible and easy to interpret since they are similar to international ones. However, you will encounter some road signs unique to this region. For instance, Prohibitory Signs restrict you from taking a certain action on the road. Mandatory signs require you to take immediate action. Priority Road signs state who has the right of way on a particular highway section.

  • Should I rent a car in Phuket?

    Yes, renting a car is a fantastic way to explore Phuket and the rest of Thailand. You can discover the best destinations with your set of wheels since they give you freedom. Renting a car is better than alternative modes of transit, like public transportation. With a car, you decide when to leave and where to stop during your trip. You can randomly change destinations while on the road. Trains and buses don’t give you this freedom since they operate on a fixed schedule. Rent a car and drive to destinations like Karon Viewpoint.

    Familiarize yourself with basic driving rules and regulations to avoid being on the wrong side of the law. For instance, driving in Phuket is on the left. There are strict drunk driving laws, with the legal BAC set at 0.05%. Also, the car on the left has the right of way when two vehicles approach a junction from two different directions. In Phuket, local drivers don’t adhere to road rules and regulations. Motorbikes will crisscross through traffic, and vehicles don't stop at pedestrian crossings. Adhere to the rules and speed limit while driving in Phuket. The limit in the city is 50 km/h (30 mph), while that in rural areas is 90 km/h (55 mph). On highways, you can maintain speeds of up to 120 km/h (75 mph).

  • How old do you have to be to rent a car in Phuket?

    Age restrictions for renting a car in Phuket vary from agency to agency. For instance, the minimum age for some companies like Budget and Hertz is 21, while that for SIXT is 23. The maximum age limit for car rentals in Phuket is 65. Renters under 26 years will pay a daily underage surcharge, while those above 65 will pay an extra senior fee. You must present a driver’s license and a passport valid throughout your stay. If your license is in a language other than English, you will need an international driver’s permit. A major credit card like a Visa or debit card in the primary renter's name is also required.
