Cars and prices
Every model of this type in our live search, with its lowest price per day for three days, a week and a month, and the deposit for that model. Each name opens the page of the car. See also prices and rental terms for every model.
| Model | Class | 3 days, ฿ per day | 7 days, ฿ per day | 30 days, ฿ per day | Deposit |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Toyota Yaris | Economy | 840 ฿ | 788 ฿ | 551 ฿ | 5 000 ฿ |

Lowest price in our live search for pick-up in Patong, rentals starting 2 November or 16 November; checked 19 October, Phuket time. Delivery is counted separately; the search shows the exact total for your dates.
Price for thirty days
A month is not seven days times four. It has its own average rate, and per day it comes out lower than a week. Look at the thirty-day column in the table: same live search, same start dates for both cars.
Sometimes one of the two shows no thirty-day price for a start date. That means no free car for the whole month in that window, not a hidden price. Try the other model or send the dates in the chat.
The month you start in matters more than the model. November is cheaper than December or January; May is low season.
Bodies and kit
Both come as a hatchback or a saloon. In our fleet the Yaris goes as the Yaris hatchback, the newer Yaris and the Yaris Ativ saloon; the Mazda 2 as a hatchback and a saloon. Five seats in each.
The newer Yaris has Apple CarPlay. The Mazda 2 cars have Bluetooth, USB and a camera. For a month of daily driving with a phone on the dash, that can be the deciding detail.
Living with the car for a month
On a long rental the owner looks after scheduled servicing: oil, filters, brakes, tyre wear, mechanical faults. Fuel, washing, parking and damage you cause are yours. If a warning light comes on, send a photo in the chat the same day.
The car goes back with the fuel level it came with. If it comes back dirty, the wash is 300 ฿.
Deposit
Refundable and separate from the rental. Economy cars usually carry 5,000 ฿; the table shows the current sum per model.
Speed-camera fines can arrive weeks later, so part of the deposit may be held for a while after the return until they are settled.
Booking a month
Send the start date, the end date and your address. We come back with the car that is free, one total for the whole period and the deposit for that model.
How you pay gets sorted in the messenger. Roubles, cash, bank transfer, USDT, card, any of those works. Asking costs nothing, and the month total is fixed in writing before anyone drives the car to you.
Not sure if it is one month or two? Book one and extend. Just ask before the end date, because in high season the same car may already be promised to the next person.
Last day? Drop it in another area or at departures right before your flight. Same fuel level as you got it. Bring the car back dirty and the wash is 300 ฿.
Insurance, documents, delivery
Insurance is in the price. It's first-class commercial cover, written for cars that are rented out, and third-party damage is covered up to 800,000 ฿. Only drivers named in the contract are covered, and each one needs a passport, their home licence and an International Driving Permit.
We bring the car wherever you'll live for the month: condo, villa, hotel, or the airport exit in the middle of the night if that's when you land. Delivery is a separate line, and the chat gives you the sum for your address.
Compare before you book: Toyota Yaris or Honda City for a week; Honda HR-V or Toyota Yaris for two weeks; Toyota Veloz or Honda BR-V for a family; an electric or petrol car for a month; all rental cars in Phuket with prices.
Common questions
Is a Mazda 2 or a Yaris cheaper for a month?
They are close; the thirty-day column in the table shows the current rate for both from our live search. The start month moves the price more than the choice of model.
Is a monthly rental cheaper than four weeks?
Per day, yes. A month has its own average rate, lower than the 4–7 day step.
Which one has Apple CarPlay?
The newer Yaris in our fleet has CarPlay. The Mazda 2 cars have Bluetooth, USB and a camera, so mention CarPlay when you book if you need it.
Who pays for servicing during the month?
The owner: oil, filters, brakes, tyre wear and mechanical faults. You cover fuel, washing, parking and damage.
What deposit do I leave for a month?
Usually 5,000 ฿ for an economy car, refundable. The table shows the sum for each model.
Can I keep the car for a second month?
Yes. Ask in the chat before the end date. In high season ask earlier, because the car may be promised for the next dates.
