What the week costs, piece by piece
Four things make up the money. First the rental total for seven days, and first-class commercial insurance is already inside it, with third-party cover up to 800,000 ฿. Then delivery to your address in Chalong, counted separately, we name the sum in the chat. Fuel — the car goes back with the level it came with. And the deposit, which is not really a cost: we hold it for the week and give it back.
Two small extras can show up. A wash is 300 ฿ if the car comes back dirty. And if a speed-camera fine turns up after you have left, part of the deposit may be kept for a while.
A price from our search holds for 30 minutes. Once you have seen the total, send the dates in WhatsApp and we confirm the car together with delivery.
Hatchback or sedan for Chalong
Hatchbacks first. The Suzuki Swift and the Toyota Yaris are the easiest to park near the roundabout and outside the shops.
Sedans — the Nissan Almera, Toyota Vios, Suzuki Ciaz and Yaris Ativ — have a closed boot. On a pier day that counts for more than you would think: bags, snorkels and wet towels stay out of sight in a car that sits by the pier all day.
Price-wise the two overlap, so the cheapest one for your week can be either. The table under the strip has every model with its rate for three days, a week and a month.
The roundabout, the pier and the Big Buddha
Every road in the south runs into the Chalong roundabout, and at rush hour it just stops. Whoever is already on it has priority. Look right, choose your exit before you get there, and keep an eye on scooters passing on both sides.
Boats to the islands go from Chalong pier in the morning, and people leave their cars near it for the day. In high season the spaces go early, so be there before the time on your ticket. If your week starts with a boat trip, we can bring the car straight to the pier.
The climb to the Big Buddha is long. The road is good though, and any car in working order gets up. On the way down use a lower gear, not the brakes all the way.
Delivery in Chalong, at any hour
We deliver to a hotel, villa, house or condo anywhere in Chalong, and to the airport exit if you want the car straight off the plane. The airport is about 30 minutes away on the direct highway, and late arrivals cost nothing extra for the hour.
The rental total is the same wherever the car starts, airport or Chalong. Only the delivery sum changes with the address.
Chalong as a base for a cheap car
People stay in Chalong because it is close to everything rather than because of a beach. Rawai's flat streets are about 15 minutes south, the town and the airport road are north, the west coast beaches over the hill. A small car does all of it.
Another useful thing: most of the island's tyre shops, car washes and small workshops sit along the roads into Chalong. A slow puncture or a dirty car before hand-back gets sorted on the way home, not as a separate trip.
A week, eight days or a month
Prices go in steps by length: 4–7 days, then 8–14, then 15–21, and a month has its own average rate. Torn between seven and eight days? Check both in the search, it takes a minute.
The start date matters too. November is cheaper than December or January. Staying a month or longer in Chalong — that is what monthly car rental in Chalong is for.
