Car Rental
Koh Tao

Steep roads, dirt tracks and water taxis: choose the right way to explore.

⚠️ Timetables, opening hours, prices and access conditions may change without notice, for reasons beyond our control (season, weather, decisions by operators, venues or local authorities). Before every trip, check the information with the relevant authorities and service providers.

No car hire on Koh Tao: compare prices on the mainland

On Koh Tao you get around on foot, by pick-up taxi, water taxi or scooter, and there are no car rental agencies in the usual sense. The comparison tool is useful if you combine your stay with Koh Samui, Chumphon or Surat Thani, where a car lets you explore the coast before or after the crossing.
