Vehicle rental on Koh Samui

Scooters, maxi scooters, cars and SUVs. We deliver to your hotel or villa, check the vehicle with you and show you how everything works.

  • Island-wide delivery

    Chaweng, Lamai, Bophut, Maenam, Nathon and the airport. Delivery starts at ฿100 and depends on the area.

  • Vehicles in working order

    Brakes, tyres and lights checked before every handover. If it breaks, we swap it.

  • Cash deposit only

    We never hold your passport — just a deposit that comes back when you return the vehicle.

Request a vehicle

Seven fields and we find you a vehicle. The rest is optional.

Where we should reply

Fields marked with an asterisk are required

Scooter or car

A scooter is cheaper, parks anywhere and fits through the narrow lanes of Chaweng where a car gets stuck. It is what most couples travelling light choose.

A car is worth it in the rainy season, with children, if you live up a hill or do a weekly shop. It costs roughly three times more, but the comfort is not comparable.

Minimum terms differ: scooters up to 160cc are rented from one month, maxi scooters from five days, cars from a single day.

What you need to rent

  • An international driving permit for the right category, or a Thai licence.
  • Your passport for the agreement — the original stays with you.
  • A cash deposit: ฿3,000–5,000 for a scooter, ฿5,000–10,000 for a car.
  • A helmet is required by law on a scooter — we provide two.

Frequently asked questions

Can I rent without an international driving permit?

No. We do not hand over vehicles without a licence: it is dangerous, and after an accident the full cost falls on you. Getting an international permit at home is quick and cheap.

Can you deliver to the airport?

Yes, we can leave a car at Samui airport car park or meet you at arrivals. We deliver scooters too, though collecting one at your hotel is usually easier. Delivery is charged — the price depends on the area and we quote it when we reply.

What happens if the vehicle is damaged?

Minor scratches from normal use are not a reason to withhold the deposit. Cars carry commercial insurance, which covers most of the repair after serious damage. Bikes are not insured that way: the compulsory policy covers medical costs only, and repairs are paid from the deposit based on the actual damage.
