What is convertible car rental?

Convertibles are a small specialist group in Phuket, offered by only a few suppliers and in small numbers. When they are available you will most likely find models such as a Mini Cooper Convertible, a Mercedes-Benz cabriolet or a Ford Mustang Convertible.

Because supply is small, book as early as you can – especially for December to March, the driest and sunniest months. If no convertible shows for your dates, a premium car is the next best option.

Tips before you book

Tip

Showers come fast

Even in the dry season a short shower can arrive quickly. Close the roof at the first drops.

Tip

Roof up when parked

Never leave the car open and unattended, and keep valuables out of sight.

Tip

Sun protection

Midday sun is intense – use sunscreen, hats and drive with the roof up at noon.

Tip

Best scenic routes

Kata to Promthep Cape, the Patong–Kamala coast road and Route 4 along the coast to Khao Lak.

Yes, but they are rare. A few suppliers offer them in small numbers – search your dates and book early.

December to March, when the weather is driest and sunniest. In the rainy season (May–October) sudden showers are common.

Convertibles are priced like premium cars. The full price, including insurance, is shown in our search.

Try nearby dates or choose a premium car – also great for coastal drives.

Usually only one medium suitcase or two soft bags, especially with the roof down. Pack light or keep big luggage at the hotel.

Often 25, and some suppliers ask for a licence held for several years. The exact rules are shown in the rental conditions before you book.

The west-coast road from Patong to Kata and Karon, the climb to Karon Viewpoint and the run to Promthep Cape for sunset are the classic routes.
