What is a economy car?
Economy cars are small hatchbacks and sedans such as the Toyota Yaris, Nissan Almera or Honda City. They are the most popular – and usually the cheapest – rental group at Phuket Airport.
They are ideal for one or two people with light luggage who mainly drive between beaches, restaurants and sights on the island.
Good for
- Couples and solo travellers
- Short island trips
- Tight parking in Patong and the old town
- Low fuel costs
Keep in mind
- Two medium suitcases fill the boot
- Small engines feel slow on Patong Hill with four people
- Book early for December–February
