flip Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 Has anybody ever used the Chic car rental company in Phuket/Thailand? (www.chiccarrent.com) I'm planing to rent a car for about 2/3 weeks when arriving beginning of april at Phuket airport.. Their rates seemed to be very "fair" plus the whole "package" looks quite good actually..! I haven't really heard about this company but compared to Budget, Sixt etc. they really offering good deals and operating since 2004 already!(about 800 Baht/day for a Honda City for example..) Any reviews/infos highly appreciated! Thnx a lot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bearpolar Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 Chic seems to offer VERY competitive daily rates, but for 2-3 weeks i would just troll around the facebook groups and get a car there. I saw a recent honda city for 17 000b per month which is very good, otherwise you can get older models for 12-13 000b if 25000b isnt that much for you, the xtrail isnt a great price but the it will be a lot better for you than one of those smaller rentals and it's still pretty cheap compared to what you can find from outside of the country without a thai native.

Yes maybe cheaper, but what sort of insurance cover. Don't know how many times I have asked full insurance and they say yes, but when my wife reads the small print rental contract it's clear that insurance is very limited. I prefer to pay more with one of the major companies who offer real full insurance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flip Posted January 30, 2016 Author Share Posted January 30, 2016 Chic is ok regarding insurance...93 baht per day extra and u get basic plus optional insurance... but i will go for mobile car rent...very professional, great deals, mostly new cars, fully insurance coverage(also theft etc), free airport pickup plus even a 10% discount, if booking 4 weeks in advance.and mostly important farang owned/farang manager/managing director! Getting a new honda city or nissan almera for about 750 baht a day then, if talking about 3 weeks..(small cars even cheaper!)...think cannot get really better and renting from this "facebook guys" private without mostly even proper insurance etc. ..no thnx!! And the car rental companies offering 24/7 road assistance too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bearpolar Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 if u have the choice between nissan or honda, please make sure you get the city not only is it a much safer car, its 250% better in all aspects, handling, speed, acceleration and inside materials.

Jimi007 Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 I don't know if they're still around. But David Car Rental at the airport always treated me well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know a few friends who have used David over the years and had no complaints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
