spiceman Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 Hi, Please could anybody help with the following. Me and my Thai girlfriend are flying to Phuket and would like to hire a vehicle for 5 days at the airport to make things easier for getting about and possibly cheaper than using Taxis and Tuk Tuks. Please could anybody recommend a car hire company and how much roughly would it cost? We would like something fairly large which can carry 4 people in comfort and include suitcases. thank you very much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maejo Man Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 The last time I hired a car from the airport in Phuket, was a few years ago now, and from memory it was a Soluna from Avis, and the cost was about 1200 baht a day. They did have larger vehicles available, but did not enquire as to the rates. I would Imagine Avis have a local website that list their rates, try a search.

zulugutt Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 I have rented several times with Nine Car Rent close to the airport. If you make a reservation in advance they will pick you up at the airport. Price for a Yaris this time a year would be 1000-1200 bath pr. day. They have pretty new cars, good service, and I have never had problems with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valentine Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 You will need something bigger than the Jazz or Yaris which is being talked about. Some years ago David Car Rent, next to the airport, looked at buying my Honda CRV so I suggest you try them & enquire if they have one of those or similar. I am sure they would also pick you up at the terminal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have pretty new cars, good service, and I have never had problems with them. Yaris is a good car and if you can get it for 1k a day then thats a good price too. The boots on these cars swallow quite a lot of luggage. You did say that there are only 2 of you? Do you really need a huge car? It can be very hard to find parking in Phuket. The smaller the car, the more chance you have. Quite how people in things like Isuzu Mu7's park on the street in phuket town is beyond me !

FlatOut Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 Having just used David car rent (next to the bigger companies at the airport) they were the cheapest. 1000bt for a pick up so a 4 door car would be possibly around the 800-1000 mark.

maxjay Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 Anyone know what the monthly rental would be on a small to mid-size car? zulagutt or FlatOut...can you provide any contact details for the companies you recommended? I prefer to make an advance booking. We arrive at 7:00pm and don't want to spend an hour or more looking for their location, etc. Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loubrockbank Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 It's a 3 minute walk from the airport doors. Head out of the gate to the left and all of the car hire places are noticeable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencurry Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 Anyone know what the monthly rental would be on a small to mid-size car?zulagutt or FlatOut...can you provide any contact details for the companies you recommended? I prefer to make an advance booking. We arrive at 7:00pm and don't want to spend an hour or more looking for their location, etc. Thanks in advance I'm also interested in monthly rentals. Just looked at the David Car Rent website and no mention about long term rentals. Nine Car Rent has Honda Jazz / Honda City / Toyota Yaris all at 21,000 baht per month. Suzuki Caribian and Suzuki Sporty at 15,000 baht per month. Seems a bit expensive to me. If anyone else has some ideas on monthly rentals I'd be interested to know.
