# MG VS in Phuket: is it a good family SUV for day trips to Khao Lak and Phang Nga? Page URL: https://kolesio.com/en/cars/mg-vs-rental-phuket/ The MG VS suits a family who want an automatic SUV for paved day trips off the island, to Khao Lak or the Phang Nga viewpoints, with child seats fitted before handover. It is front-wheel drive with modest ground clearance, so it is a road car, not one for dirt tracks.

Delivery and the refundable deposit are extra; the exact sum for your car and dates comes from the availability search. ## Can I drive it from Phuket to Khao Lak or Phang Nga? Yes, by agreement. Name the route in chat before the trip and we confirm it with the booking. The road north crosses the Sarasin bridge and continues on the main highway, all paved, which is the kind of driving the MG VS is made for. For the Phang Nga Bay piers and the viewpoints on the way to Krabi, the last part of some access roads is steep. Take those slowly with a full car. ## Will child seats and a family's bags fit? MG Thailand lists ISOFIX anchors for the VS, and child seats are fitted before handover if you name them and the children's ages when you book. With two child seats in the back, the boot is left for the family's bags and a cool box for the day. For a family with more children, or with grandparents coming along, a seven-seater fits better: the Toyota Veloz and Honda BR-V can be booked straight from the search. ## What kind of roads is it not made for? MG Thailand gives the ground clearance of the VS HEV as 145 mm, and the car is front-wheel drive. That is fine on highways, in town and on concrete villa drives. It is low for rutted tracks to quiet beaches and for flooded roads after a monsoon downpour. If your plan includes unpaved roads, the Ford Ranger pickup or the four-wheel-drive Ford Everest in the search have far more clearance. ## How long does a day trip take, and when to set off? Khao Lak is a drive of a couple of hours from the middle of Phuket, more in holiday traffic, so a day trip there works best with an early start and the drive back before dark. Fill up on the highway before you turn off to the beaches. Tell us the day of the trip when you book: if the car is delivered the evening before, you can leave at dawn without waiting for the handover. ## What to take instead if the MG VS is booked The MG VS is in our supplier's fleet but does not appear in the online search, so we confirm it by hand. If it is taken on your dates, the MG ZS from the same maker, the Mazda CX-30 and the Honda HR-V are crossovers you can book straight away, each with its own page. Every driver shows a passport, the national driving licence and an International Driving Permit at handover. If two of you will share the wheel on the way to Khao Lak, both names go on the agreement. ## FAQ ### Is the MG VS allowed to leave Phuket? Yes, by agreement in chat before the trip: name the route, for example Khao Lak or Phang Nga, and we confirm it with the booking. ### Does the MG VS have ISOFIX for child seats? MG Thailand lists ISOFIX and child seat anchors for the VS. Child seats are fitted before handover if you name them when you book. ### Is the MG VS four-wheel drive? No, it is front-wheel drive. For four-wheel drive, the Ford Everest is in the premium class of our search. --- Source: kolesio, https://kolesio.com/en/cars/mg-vs-rental-phuket/.
