KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Khao Lak

  • If you're traveling to Khao Lak, and wish to explore the region with utmost flexibility, car rentals in Khao Lak offer an ideal solution. The public transportation system operates on fixed schedules, which can be inconveniencing. Renting a car provides you the freedom to navigate the area with convenience. With Khao Lak car rentals at your disposal, you can effortlessly access hidden gems in the region, including Khao Lak-Lam Ru National Park, Ton Chong Fa Waterfall, or Bang Niang Beach.
  • Khao Lak is primarily served by Phuket International Airport (HKT), and several well-known rental companies like Avis, Hertz, Budget, and SIXT are readily available. At HKT, the rental car counters are found at the ground level of both International and Domestic terminals, ensuring easy access for passengers upon disembarkation. Incoming visitors can book their cars online through KAYAK to avoid hold-ups and long queues at the rental counters.
  • When driving in Khao Lak, it's important to familiarize yourself with certain aspects of local road conditions and traffic practices. The designed driving side for first-time road users is on the left-hand side. You should be mindful of pedestrians, as the streets and some avenues may be characterized by jaywalking, especially in busy areas like Nang Thong Road and Phetkasem Road. Khao Lak's roads vary, with some streets being narrower and winding, like the roads leading to attractions such as Lam Ru National Park and Sai Rung Waterfall.
  • Driving car rentals in Khao Lak can pose challenges to users during certain times of the day. You should expect traffic congestion, particularly along major thoroughfares like Phetkasem Road and Nang Thong Road. Peak traffic hours in Khao Lak occur between 7am and 9am and 4pm and 6pm on weekdays. Car rental users in Khao Lak can mitigate these traffic hold-ups by opting for alternative routes such as Soi Bang Niang or Soi Khao Lak-Lam Ru.  During the peak tourist season, for instance, from June to August, Khao Lak car rental users may encounter crowded roads, limited parking availability, and slower traffic due to the surge in visitors.

They had no capability to cancel. They refer you to a page that doesn't exist. Then they do not respond until after your reservation date, and they tell you that you cannot cancel after the reservation date. Even though you were trying to cancel prior.
