Car Hire in Phuket City, Phuket

Phuket City is nestled on the southeastern coast of Phuket Island, but since the island is so small, much of it can be accessed with a cheap car rental or people carrier rental in Phuket City in under a couple of hours. For instance, you could easily hop in your car and zip up to Sirinat National Park in the northwest of the island, or pop down to Nai Harn Beach, a petit resort area at the very southern tip. When you’re staying local in the city, driving is a good way to get around, but you will need to park in a nearby spot and walk if you want to explore the Sunday Walking Street Market, which takes place along Thalang Rd.

If you’re thinking about grabbing one of the available hired cars in Phuket City, then you’ll need to invest some time in understanding the traffic guidelines that are in place in Thailand, as they vary from what visitors may be familiar with. For instance, any individual who has blood alcohol content—often abbreviated BAC—of 0.05% is prohibited from operating a motor vehicle. Additionally, individuals travelling in Phuket City car rentals must always wear a properly fastened seatbelt, or be subject to a fine. The speed limits on the island are fairly consistent with major roadways in other countries, but drivers will want to adhere to what is posted, since the local police often set speed traps. Before heading out on your trip, it’s always best to check with the city’s department of motor vehicles to understand new laws or guidance that might have recently changed.

A rental car in Phuket City is a very good way to see the city and the greater island territory. All foreign drivers are required to present a major credit card that has a significant available balance, a passport, and an International Driver’s Permit. The permit, or IDP as it is sometimes called, is not sufficient by itself—a license to drive that has been issued by the driver’s home country must accompany it. Additionally, to be granted the privilege of driving one of the hired cars in Phuket City you must be no younger than 21 years old; however, some brand-name rental companies may allow those who are 20 and older to rent.
