Car Rental on Koh Phangan – Zero Passport Retention, Direct Pier/Hotel Delivery & Transparent Insurance.

Minimum rental period: 3 days. Maximum rental period: 120 days.

Zero passport retention

Zero Passport Retention Policy: Why We Never Hold Your Passport

We believe your passport belongs with you, not locked in a drawer.

100% Safe Passport Policy

We never hold your original passport as a security deposit for any car model or any package. We check it when you sign, note the details on the agreement and keep a photo or copy for the rental record, and the passport stays with you.

Flexible Deposit Options

Leave the security deposit in cash (THB, EUR, USD or AUD), by Thai bank transfer, or by Wise to Wise, all with no fee. You can also pay it on a credit or debit card at our office POS terminal: 3.7% card fee, no deposit fee, and the hold is released within 15 days. Wise to a Thai bank account carries a small transfer fee and cannot be used for the deposit.

Guaranteed for All Cars

This policy applies to every single vehicle and every rental package in our fleet.

The deposit itself, without a passport: from THB 12,000 to THB 30,000. Our cars take THB 25,000 (THB 30,000 for the truck), reduced to THB 12,000 (THB 15,000 for the truck) when you add Full cover. It comes back to you when the car is returned in the same condition.

Protection plans

Standard protection vs. Full protection

The same passport rule applies to both plans. What changes is cover for the car itself and the size of the deposit.

Scooters are booked through our partner and carry a THB 3,000 deposit. Tyres, interior damage from use, lost keys, misfuelling and belongings left in the car are never covered, and all cover is void if a rule of the rental agreement is broken. The full rules are in our guidelines and terms.

The fleet

Pick a car, not a lottery. Built for Phangan’s roads.

We drive these roads every day. Every car in our fleet is meticulously prepared for the island's unique terrain:

  • New or safe tyres

    All tyres are brand-new or well above the minimum wear indicators.

  • High ground clearance

    Our crossover and SUV models, including the Crossover SUV and the SUV Hybrid 2026, have the clearance and suspension for the island’s steep hillside lanes.

  • Prepared between rentals

    Every car is serviced and checked between rentals, so brakes, lights and fluids are ready for your trip.
