# Toyota Yaris or Honda City: Which to Rent in Phuket for a Week?

Page URL: https://kolesio.com/en/cars/toyota-yaris-vs-honda-city-rental/

For a week, take the Yaris if price comes first and the City if you want a full saloon with a closed boot. Both are automatic economy cars with insurance included and the same refundable deposit band, so the choice is mostly the seven-day rate and the body. The strip and the table below show both from our live search.

**A week from 5 145 ฿ total** — economy car 735 ฿/day · crossover from 9 555 ฿ · refundable deposit from 5 000 ฿ · live search, 7 days from 2 November, pick-up in Patong.

## What actually differs for a week

Not much under the bonnet that you would feel on Phuket roads. Both are small petrol automatics made for town and the ring roads, both park easily in narrow side streets, both fit two adults and luggage for a week.

The real differences are two. First the body: the City is a saloon with a separate boot, the Yaris comes as a hatchback or as the Yaris Ativ saloon. Second the price: look at the seven-day column in the table, it is the number that decides most bookings.

## Price for seven days

Rental prices go in steps by length: 4–7 days, 8–14, 15–21, then a month with its own average rate. A week sits in the 4–7 day step, so the seven-day figure in the table is per day for your whole week.

The start date moves everything. November is cheaper than December or January, and May is low season. Same car, different week, different total, so check the strip with your dates rather than a screenshot from a friend.

## Deposit for each car

The deposit is refundable and separate from the rental price. For economy cars it is usually 5,000 ฿, and the table lists the sum for each model in the search right now.

It is left in cash at handover, or a non-cash option is agreed in the chat before delivery. It comes back at the return, minus anything that has to be settled.

## Which one for which trip

Two people, a beach a day, a lot of short hops between beaches? The cheaper of the two in the table is the sensible pick. You will not miss the extra boot.

Airport bags that you want out of sight in a beach car park, or a week with long day trips? The City or the Yaris Ativ, both saloons, keep the luggage behind a closed lid.

## Booking the week and handing the car back

Send the dates, where you are staying and which of the two you want. If both are free, we say so and you pick; if only one is, you know straight away.

Payment for the rental is agreed in the messenger: roubles, cash, a bank transfer, USDT or a card. There is no prepayment just for asking, and the total for your dates is fixed in the chat before the car is delivered.

At the end you can hand the car back in another area or at the departures terminal on the day you fly. It goes back with the fuel level it came with; if it comes back dirty, the wash is 300 ฿.

Somebody else will drive too? Name them before delivery, with a passport, a national licence and an International Driving Permit.

## Insurance, documents, delivery

First-class commercial insurance is part of the price on every car we deliver: it is a policy for commercial use, and damage to third parties is covered up to 800,000 ฿. It applies to drivers named in the contract who carry a passport, a national driving licence and an International Driving Permit.

The car comes to your hotel, villa, condo or the airport exit at any hour, night flights included. Delivery is counted separately from the daily rate, and we name the sum for your address in the chat.

## FAQ

### Is the Toyota Yaris cheaper than the Honda City for a week?

Compare the seven-day column in the table above: it comes from our live search for the same start dates. The difference changes with the season, so the strip with your dates gives the exact total.

### Is the deposit different for the Yaris and the City?

Both are economy cars, where the deposit is usually 5,000 ฿. The table shows the current sum for each model; it is refundable and separate from the price.

### Are both cars automatic?

Yes. Every car we deliver has an automatic gearbox, so the choice between the two does not depend on it.

### Which has the bigger boot?

The City is a saloon with a closed boot. The Yaris comes as a hatchback or as the Yaris Ativ saloon, so if a closed boot matters, ask for the Ativ or the City.

### Can I get the car at Phuket Airport?

Yes, at the airport exit or at your hotel, at any hour. Delivery is counted separately and named in the chat.

### Can I extend past seven days?

Yes, write in the chat before the end date. Past a week the price moves to the 8–14 day step.
