Can I Rent a Toyota Yaris in Phuket?

Which Toyota Yaris will I get?

You get either the Toyota Yaris Ativ, which is the sedan, or a Toyota Yaris hatchback, and the search lists each version separately, so you can see which Yaris is free for your dates. Every Toyota Yaris in our fleet has a 1.2-litre petrol engine, an automatic gearbox, front-wheel drive and five seats.

The Toyota Yaris Ativ keeps luggage in a separate boot under a lid, out of sight when the car is parked by a beach. A Toyota Yaris hatchback opens at the back with a tailgate, which is handier for a folded pushchair or a cool box. The fleet table on this page shows the Toyota Yaris versions that are in the search now.

The sedan has its own page: Toyota Yaris Ativ rental in Phuket.

Why does a Toyota Yaris work for an airport arrival?

Because the Toyota Yaris can be waiting when you land. Pick airport arrivals as the delivery point and send the flight number when you book, so the meeting moves with the real landing time; delivery of the Toyota Yaris runs around the clock, night arrivals included.

At the airport the Toyota Yaris handover follows the same order as at a hotel: the documents of every driver, a walk round the car with photos of any marks, then the signature. Set the route before you start the engine of the Toyota Yaris, because the first drive is the one to keep simple.

How does a Toyota Yaris handle Phuket's hills?

A Toyota Yaris handles them with the right habit on the way down. The road from Kathu to Patong climbs in a series of bends and then drops to the sea on a long, continuous gradient, and that descent is where drivers overheat their brakes by keeping a foot on the pedal the whole way.

In a Toyota Yaris, move the selector to L or use M mode at the top of that descent and on the southern roads towards Nai Harn, so the engine holds the car and the brakes stay cool.

When is another car better than a Toyota Yaris?

When the group outgrows a Toyota Yaris: minivans start to win from five people upwards, or for four people with suitcases for two weeks, because the alternative is two cars and parking twice.

When you are comparing small automatics, the Mazda 2 and the Nissan Almera sit in the same economy class as the Toyota Yaris, and the MG 5 is a sedan with a 1.5-litre engine; the search shows which of them are free for your dates.

What should I check when the Toyota Yaris meets me at night?

The same things as by day, with more light. Walk round the Toyota Yaris with the person who brought it and use your phone torch on the sills, the bumpers, the wheels and the windscreen, because anything not marked before you sign is treated as yours at the return.

Check the fuel level of the Toyota Yaris against the agreement as well, since the car goes back the same way, and photograph the signed agreement before you drive off; the paper copy gets creased in the glovebox, the photo stays on your phone.

How do I book a Toyota Yaris?

Open the search from the button on this page with the economy class already selected; when a Toyota Yaris is free for your dates it comes first in the list, with the total and the deposit for that car. You can also send the dates, the flight number and the drivers' names on WhatsApp and ask for a Toyota Yaris by name.

The Toyota Yaris goes back the way it came: choose the return point in the booking form, and you can return the car at the airport on the day you fly, with the return hour written into the agreement. Delivery is priced separately from the rental itself, and the figure for your address is confirmed in the chat before you book.

Which car has more engine for the hills?

For the hills with a full car, the Mazda 3 has a 2.0-litre petrol engine and an automatic gearbox, against the 1.2 litres of the Yaris.
