KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Patong
- A car hire in Patong provides additional flexibility compared to if you used alternative transport methods such as bus, train or taxi. This is because you have the freedom to travel at a time which suits your schedule, rather than relying on public transport timetables or waiting for a taxi. For example, if you wanted to take a trip to Kamala Beach, you could do so in about 18 minutes in your car. However, the same trip using the bus would take at least 38 minutes and you would also have to abide by the bus schedule.
- Phuket International Airport (HKT) provides a range of car hire options for you to choose from, such as Hertz and Avis, so you’ll be able to find your perfect car with ease. For instance, if you want to find the Hertz branch, you will be able to do so on the first floor of the arrival terminal. You’ll be able to continue with your journey straight away.
- When you get a car hire from Patong, you will see that it’s a popular beach resort town. There are lots of visitors from all over the world who flock to the beaches throughout the year. You should, therefore, drive with extra care when in Patong, as people cross the roads wherever they please and don't necessarily use the pedestrian crossings. Bicycle and moped hire is also a big thing in Thailand, so you should always beware of those on two wheels by checking your mirrors regularly, especially if you are about to turn.
- When you get a Patong car hire, you will realise that there is a lot of traffic on the roads, with it getting particularly hectic during rush hour. Traffic tends to get especially heavy from 07:30 to 09:30 and 17:00 to 19:30, so if you don’t like driving on busy roads, it’s best to avoid these times. Thanon Ratuthit Songroipi Road is one street that can get very busy, as it’s the main street going through Patong. To avoid getting stuck in traffic, it’s suggested to find an alternative route.
