Rent Suzuki Swift in Phuket

What kind of car is the Suzuki Swift?

The Suzuki Swift is a five-seat hatchback of the economy class with a 1.2-litre petrol engine, an automatic gearbox and front-wheel drive. The fleet table on this page shows the Suzuki Swift when it is in the search, with seats, gearbox and engine.

The Suzuki Swift opens at the back with a tailgate, so a beach bag, a folded pushchair or the shopping goes straight in under the raised door. A Suzuki Swift is a car for two people, or for a small family with soft bags rather than big rigid cases.

Where is a Suzuki Swift easiest to park in Phuket?

In Kata, where the Suzuki Swift fits the short bays inland from the beach. The streets in Kata are narrow, with scooters parked along both sides, and most parking is in those bays or in the car parks of the larger hotels, so name your hotel's car park as the meeting point if it has one.

In Patong, tell us the hotel name and whether it has its own car park before you land, so the Suzuki Swift is handed over where it can stand for the inspection. If you are staying on the hill above Patong, say so when you book: the road up is steep, and the meeting point is easier to agree in advance than at the gate.

On the descents into Kata and Karon from the passes, bring the Suzuki Swift down with the selector in L or in M mode, so the engine holds the car and the brakes stay cool.

When is the Suzuki Swift too small?

The Suzuki Swift is too small for five adults with large cases; minivans start to win from five people upwards. It is also the wrong car for a villa up a steep driveway on the slopes of Surin, where a crossover gives more clearance with the same simple controls.

If you like the size of the Suzuki Swift but want a choice of body, the Mazda 2 comes as a hatchback or a sedan, and the Toyota Yaris as the Ativ sedan or a hatchback; all three sit in the same economy class.

How is a Suzuki Swift delivered and returned?

A Suzuki Swift is brought to your hotel, villa, apartment or airport arrivals at the hour agreed in the chat, night arrivals included. Delivery is priced separately from the rental itself, and the figure for your address is confirmed in the chat before you book.

The return point of a Suzuki Swift is chosen separately in the booking form, so a car delivered to a hotel in Kata can be collected at the airport on the day you fly, and you return the car at the airport without a detour.

What happens at the Suzuki Swift handover?

Documents first, then a walk round the Suzuki Swift with the person who brought it: body, tyres, air conditioning and fuel level, with photos of every mark that is already there. The photos settle the return, so take them even on a car that looks new.

Only then do you sign the agreement for the Suzuki Swift and keep your copy; there is no office to visit afterwards. Check that the fuel level written in the agreement matches the gauge, because the car goes back the same way.

How do I book a Suzuki Swift?

Open the search from the button on this page with the economy class selected; when a Suzuki Swift 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 hotel name and the drivers' names on WhatsApp and ask for the Suzuki Swift by name. The minimum age is 21, with a licence held for at least a year.

Which other small automatic compares with the Swift?

The Nissan Note is another five-seat economy automatic with a 1.2-litre petrol engine, and the search shows which of the two is free for your dates.
