Island Drive Phuket: Frequently Asked Questions

1. Do I need an International Driving Permit (IDP) to rent a car?
  • Answer: Yes. According to Thai law.

    If you are from an ASEAN country, you may drive in Thailand using your valid national driver’s license.
    ASEAN countries include:
    Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Philippines, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, Brunei, and Thailand.

    Most insurance companies accept a valid driver’s license from your home country, especially if it is written in English or has an English translation. This is usually sufficient for insurance coverage.

    However, please kindly note that under Thai traffic law, the police may still request an International Driving Permit (IDP).
    If you do not have an IDP, you may be fined approximately 1,000 THB, even if your home country license is accepted by the insurance.

    For your convenience and peace of mind, we strongly recommend carrying:

    • Your valid home country driver’s license

    • An International Driving Permit (IDP)

    This helps you avoid any issues at police checkpoints and ensures a smooth, worry-free driving experience in Thailand.

Answer: We make payments simple and flexible. There is no booking deposit required. You can pay on arrival by cash, credit care (with no 3% surcharge), Thai bank transfer, or TrueMoney.

The security deposit is 5,000 THB, or you may choose to pay in foreign currency:
170 USD / 250 AUD / 150 EUR.

The deposit will be fully refunded on the day you return the car, after our staff has checked that the vehicle is in good condition and there is no damage.

The refund will be made in the same currency that you paid.
This deposit is only for vehicle damage protection and is not a rental fee.
