Car Rental Information for Surat Thani
About Surat Thani
Surat Thani is a vibrant province in southern Thailand known as the gateway to the famous islands of the Gulf of Thailand, including Koh Samui, Koh Phangan, and Koh Tao. Unlike the bustling tourist hubs, Surat Thani offers a more authentic Thai experience with lush landscapes, rivers, and cultural sites. It is a key transport hub with a relaxed atmosphere and friendly locals. Visitors are drawn to its natural beauty, including national parks and waterfalls, as well as its rich cultural heritage seen in local temples and markets. Surat Thani’s appeal lies in its blend of accessibility to island paradises and the chance to explore rural Thailand’s traditions and cuisine. It is ideal for travelers seeking both adventure and cultural immersion away from the crowds.

Driving in Surat Thani
Major car rental companies such as Avis, Budget, and local agencies operate in Surat Thani. Typical daily rental costs range from 800 to 1500 THB, with weekly rates offering discounts. Drivers must have a valid international driving permit or Thai license and be at least 21 years old. Roads are generally in good condition but can be narrow and winding in rural areas. Parking is available in city centers but can be limited near popular spots. Renting a car is useful for exploring rural areas and national parks but not necessary for island visits, where ferries and local transport suffice. For most tourists, public transport and taxis are adequate unless planning extensive inland travel.
