Car rental in Phuket: plenty of choice, but bring an IDP

Phuket has the largest choice on GetRentacar of all the cities we checked, more than Tbilisi and Yerevan combined. Prices are low, but two conditions matter more than price: an international driving permit and driving on the left.

Two conditions you cannot skip

International driving permit

Renting in Thailand requires an IDP. Get it before you fly, without it you will not get the car.

Driving on the left

Thailand drives on the left with right-hand drive cars. Keep the first day easy and avoid driving after dark.

Passport and age

A passport is required. You can rent from 18, and it costs more under 25.

Check the car's page

Required documents depend on the region and the owner. Reread the terms of the specific car before booking.

A car for viewing property

If you are flying in to see new builds, a car saves you waiting for transport between projects. You pay per day, though, so pack two or three viewings into each day and rent only for those days.

Projects: new builds in Phuket. Car and mobile data on the island: car and eSIM for viewing flats.

Booking and pickup

  1. 15% is paid online, 85% to the owner at pickup. If the owner allows, you can pay 100% upfront. Free cancellation.
  2. The service accepts Visa and Mastercard debit cards.
  3. Agree the pickup place and time with the owner in advance.
  4. Photograph the car from all sides, with the date, and get the deposit and excess in writing.

The main thing is the home

A WSE.AM agent will send apartments for your budget and district via Telegram or WhatsApp and group viewings into one or two days.
