Yes. The MG 5 is in our Phuket fleet as an automatic economy sedan with five seats and a 1.5-litre petrol engine, delivered to your hotel, villa or airport arrivals. The MG 5 suits up to four people who want a sedan with a closed boot for long days out, including a drive off the island to Krabi or Khao Lak agreed in the chat first. The table below shows the lowest economy-class rate in our price list for each rental length: a class minimum, not a price for this model.

## What kind of car is the MG 5?

The MG 5 in our Phuket fleet is a five-seat sedan of the economy class with a 1.5-litre petrol engine, an automatic gearbox and front-wheel drive. In our economy class the MG 5 shares its engine size with the Toyota Vios, while most of the small hatchbacks run on engines of 1.3 litres or less.

The MG 5 has a closed boot under a lid, separate from the cabin, so bags stay out of sight at a viewpoint stop or in a restaurant car park on a long day out. The fleet table on this page shows the MG 5 when it is in the search.

## Can I take the MG 5 off the island?

Yes, with the plan agreed first. The MG 5 leaves the island by the Sarasin bridge, and you tell us the route in the chat before the trip, so the insurance and the delivery are arranged for driving off the island.

The same rule applies whether the MG 5 is heading to Krabi or to Khao Lak: put the plan in the same chat as the booking, because everything that touches the agreement is easier to settle in one conversation than in three.

## What should I know about the passes in an MG 5?

The MG 5 needs one habit on the way down. The road from Kathu to Patong climbs in bends and then drops to the sea on a long, continuous gradient; bring the MG 5 down it with the selector in L or in M mode, so the engine holds the car and the brakes stay cool instead of riding the pedal the whole way.

## Who is the MG 5 not right for?

The MG 5 is not the car for a villa up a steep, narrow driveway, as many are on the slopes around Surin; send the villa name before you book and consider a crossover instead. For five or more people, one of the minivans replaces two cars.

If the MG 5 is not free for your dates, the Nissan Almera and the Toyota Yaris are the other economy sedans in the search, and the Mazda CX-3 is the crossover with a 2.0-litre engine.

## What should I check before a long day in the MG 5?

Check the brakes and the papers of the MG 5. The pass to Patong asks for a car whose brakes were in decent shape when you got it, so a pull to one side or a shudder through the pedal is worth reporting before the hill, not on it.

Keep the licence, the International Driving Permit and the agreement in the MG 5 for the whole trip. The police ask for them at roadside checks, and on a drive off the island that matters even more than in town.

## How is an MG 5 delivered and booked?

An MG 5 arrives at your hotel, villa, apartment or airport arrivals at the hour agreed in the chat, night arrivals included, and delivery is priced separately from the rental itself. You can return the car at the airport on the day you fly if you choose it as the return point.

Open the search from the button on this page with the economy class selected; when an MG 5 is free for your dates it comes first in the list, with the total and the deposit for that car. Or send the dates, the address and the drivers' names on WhatsApp and ask for the MG 5 by name. The minimum age is 21, with a licence held for at least a year.

## FAQ

### Is the MG 5 automatic?

Yes. The MG 5 in our fleet has an automatic gearbox and a 1.5-litre petrol engine.

### How much does it cost to rent an MG 5 in Phuket?

The table on this page shows the lowest economy-class rate for each rental length from our current price list: a class minimum, not a price for the MG 5. The MG 5's own daily rates from our live search are in the MG 5 price block on this page, and the search shows the exact total for an MG 5 on your dates.

### Can I drive an MG 5 from Phuket to Krabi or Khao Lak?

Yes. Tell us the plan in the chat before the trip, so the insurance and the delivery are arranged for driving off the island.

### What documents do I need to rent an MG 5 in Phuket?

Three originals for each driver: the passport, the national driving licence as a physical card and an International Driving Permit. Drivers with an ASEAN licence show the passport and their own licence.

### Can I get an International Driving Permit in Thailand?

No. The permit is issued at home, in the country that issued your licence, so it has to travel with you.

### What deposit is needed to rent an MG 5 in Phuket?

5,000 ฿, refundable: the search shows that deposit for the MG 5 next to the total for your dates. It is settled in the chat before delivery.
