Cheap 8MILE Car Hire in Phuket

When renting a car, understand the fuel policy. A 'Full-to-Full' policy means you return the car with a full tank, while 'Same-to-Same' means you return it with the same level of fuel. Full-to-Full is often more cost-effective.

Car hires from 8MILE in Phuket are charged per day. If you rent for more than 24 hours, you will be charged for an additional day, so plan accordingly.

If you plan to share driving, check if the rental company allows a second driver and whether there are additional fees. Some companies offer free second driver options under certain conditions.

When hiring a car, especially if you’re arriving in Phuket by flight, plan for extra time at pickup to accommodate any potential delays. Suppliers like 8MILE typically offer a grace period of 30-60 minutes. Providing your flight number can be helpful, but if you’re running late, be sure to call the supplier to inform them.

Ensure that you have a valid driving licence with at least one year of driving experience. If you are a foreign driver travelling to Phuket, an international driving permit may be required. Remember, hire rates can be higher for drivers under 25 or over 70

Some rental companies offer a free tank of fuel with your rental. Be sure to understand the terms, including how much fuel you need to return the car with and any potential fees for not meeting these conditions.

When selecting insurance, consider whether it includes free excess coverage. Free excess means you won’t pay a deductible in case of damage, providing additional peace of mind. Compare options to find the best fit for your needs.
