KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Krabi
- Car hire in Krabi gives you the unique opportunity to venture around all of the nearby tourist attractions and beautiful beaches without trying to rely on public transport routes, dealing with chaotic tuk-tuk drivers or trying to barter a reasonable price with local taxis. You can head out and escape it all at Railway Beaches and Caves or take a roughly 3-hour drive to Phuket or drive to Thung Teao Forest Natural Park for some outstanding beauty. All of this in your own time and on your own schedule.
- Car hire in Krabi International Airport (KBV) makes a lot of sense if you're flying in and out of the airport; it means kicking off your trip in your own style from the beginning. You'll find the Krabi car hire desks located on the first floor of the Arrivals hall, as you exit the luggage claim area. These desks are operated by employees who will escort you to your hire car as soon as you fill out the paperwork and are handed the keys.
- Unlike most other places in Thailand, the coastal part of Krabi isn't as congested as major cities in the country; although, there are sometimes traffic jams because of construction on the road or faulty traffic lights. Early-morning and late-afternoon commutes are busier times. You'll need to be aware of motorcycle drivers in the city, which often have three or more people per motorcycle. You'll need to obey local road rules, but be aware that many locals don't, so watch out for that.
- A difficult part about driving a car hire in Krabi is the other drivers. Local taxis, tuk-tuks and motorcycle drivers treat the rules of the road as mere suggestions, so you'll need to keep your eyes open and be aware of what's going on around you. There are also a lot of pedestrians who'll cross the road and expect you to stop or drive around them, so be aware of that. If you head off the main roads and onto side streets, look out for potholes and rough surfaces. Be careful when driving at night, and avoid it when you can. Lighting at night isn't very good, so it's harder to watch out for local drivers and pedestrians.
- Book your rental car in Krabi at least 5 days before your trip in order to get a below-average price
- Economy rental cars in Krabi are around 26% cheaper than other car types, on average

What type of car is recommended for driving in Krabi?
The streets in Krabi and throughout coastal cities in Thailand tend to suit smaller cars more than larger ones. However, the type of car you choose depends mostly on your needs. It'll be easier to navigate traffic in a compact model, but if you're travelling with a larger family or group of friends, SUVs are a popular car hire choice in Krabi. If you're there during the dry season, consider a convertible to enjoy the sights. Make sure your hired car has sufficient air conditioning, since Krabi can be humid.
What’s the speed limit in Krabi?
The speed limits in Krabi are the same as throughout Thailand and will need to be obeyed throughout the country. If you're driving inside the city and built-up areas, you'll be limited to 60 km/h, while the highways allow speeds up to 100 km/h. Bear in mind that many locals won't stick to these rules, but you'll need to. You won't find many drivers going faster than 60 km/h in the cities, because traffic doesn't allow for it, but motorcycles will often exceed that. On highways, anything goes with local drivers.
Where are the best places to park in Krabi?
There are places to park all over Krabi and many of them don't require payment. There's a large number of on-street parking spots available in the city, and there seem to be few rules dictating where you can and can't park. If you're going to a shopping centre, there's usually underground parking, some of them paid and some of them not. If you're staying at a hotel, look for one with on-site parking to avoid leaving your vehicle on the street overnight.

Cons:
When I arrived at the Krabi airport to drop off the rental car, there were no signs pointing us to where we should go, so we ended up driving around the airport for about half an hour looking for a Hertz sign of some sort, and eventually I just parked the car and ran inside the airport terminal and found a tiny Hertz desk, where the woman asked "Where did you I leave the car?", so clearly that isn't much direction to it.National
