What is Phuket Ride and is it legit?
Phuket Ride is a marketplace of local Phuket rental companies: every car belongs to its company and your request goes straight to it. There is no prepayment, you pay at pick-up. If the company does not reply, Phuket Ride chases it or finds you another car.
Do I have to pay online when I book?
No. A booking request on Phuket Ride needs only a phone number, no card. The rental and the deposit are paid when you pick up the car; the payment method is agreed with the company.
When is car rental in Phuket more expensive?
The “from” rate on Phuket Ride is the base low-season rate. Seasonal surcharges: 15 December to 15 January — 50% higher; 16 January to 15 May — 30% higher. The season is counted for each day of the trip, and every car card shows the rate for the nearest dates, season and company promo included. An owner may set a season rate of their own, and then the quote uses it.

Can the car be delivered to Phuket airport or a hotel?

What is the minimum rental period?
The minimum in the catalogue is 3 days; online booking on Phuket Ride starts from 3 days. Cancellation is free up to 24 hours before pick-up.

How do I list my car on Phuket Ride?
