By car to the boats for Ang Thong Marine Park
Kenan AlkanCity and intercity driver
Published Updated
We deliver the car to any address on the island and to Samui International Airport (USM), with the address, date and time agreed with a manager before the booking is fixed.
Why rent a car for the Ang Thong Marine Park trip
With a self-drive car you choose the departure you want, drive to the pier yourself and keep the rest of the day free.
Independence versus hotel pickup tours
A car lets you set your own departure time to the pier.
What the day at Ang Thong Marine Park involves
The park is the Mu Ko Ang Thong archipelago of 44 islands, reached only by boat; which islands a tour stops at and how long the day lasts depend on the operator you book with. Plan the drive home for daylight, and after heavy rain expect standing water on low sections of the ring road.
Why the pier run suits a short booking
- One-day hire: a Comfort or Crossover class covers the pier run and the drive back without any add-ons.
- Early start: we hand the car over clean with a full tank, so you leave for the pier without a fuel stop.
If you pair Ang Thong with other island days, a longer booking lowers the per-day cost.
Car rental in Koh Samui for Ang Thong piers
The pier your Ang Thong boat leaves from depends on the operator you booked with, and we do not name one on this page — check it on your tour booking.
Parking at the pier before your boat
We hand the car over clean with a full tank, so the run to the pier is the first thing you do with it. Check the pier, the check-in time and the return time on your tour booking, and plan the drive back to your hotel in daylight.
Comparing the pier run by car class
| Class | Cars | From | Seats | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Comfort | 3 | ฿1,000 | 5 | Couples, one bag each |
| Minivans | 7 | ฿1,200 | 7 | Families, group of five or more |
| Crossovers | 8 | ฿1,350 | 5 | Two travellers with dive gear |
All 24 cars on this page come with automatic transmission and prices run from ฿1,000 to ฿4,000 per day. For a single pier run and a day at the park, a Comfort or Crossover class covers it — the 7-seat minivans make sense when you are carrying snorkelling kit for a group. Whichever you pick, the delivery address, date and time are agreed with a manager when you book.
Picking a car for the pier run with Koh Samui rental
Four classes cover the drive to the boats: Comfort, Minivans, Crossovers and SUV & 4x4. We keep 24 cars on this page, from ฿1,000 to ฿4,000 per day, and every one of them is automatic. For a pier run, the choice comes down to how many people are travelling and how much luggage goes with them.
Crossovers, minivans, SUVs and comfort cars
| Class | Cars | From | Seats | Fuel |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Comfort | 3 | ฿1,000 | 5 | Petrol |
| Minivans | 7 | ฿1,200 | 7 | Petrol |
| Crossovers | 8 | ฿1,350 | 5 | Petrol, Hybrid |
| SUV & 4x4 | 6 | ฿1,700 | 4–7 | Diesel, Petrol |
The Comfort line is the cheapest way to reach a pier: Honda Civic at ฿1,000 per day, Honda Accord and Nissan Teana at ฿1,400. Minivans carry seven — Toyota Avanza from ฿1,200, Toyota Sienta at ฿1,400, Honda Mobilio at ฿1,450, Honda BR-V at ฿1,500, then Toyota Innova and Toyota Veloz at ฿1,800 and Mitsubishi Xpander at ฿1,700. Crossovers sit in the middle of the range: Nissan Juke at ฿1,350, Nissan Kicks e-Power at ฿1,600, Honda CR-V at ฿1,650, Toyota Corolla Cross at ฿1,700, Peugeot 2008 at ฿1,750, Mazda CX-3 and Toyota Yaris Cross at ฿1,800, Honda HR-V at ฿1,850. SUV & 4x4 opens with Isuzu MU-X at ฿1,700, then Ford Everest at ฿1,800, Mitsubishi Pajero Sport and Toyota Fortuner at ฿2,200, Toyota Land Cruiser FJ at ฿2,900, Jeep Wrangler at ฿4,000.
We hand the car over clean with a full tank, so the first stop on the way to the pier is not a fuel station.
Matching the car to the group
- Two travellers with day bags: a Comfort sedan is enough — Civic, Accord or Teana.
- Longer island stay: the same class works for a week of beach days around the marine park trip.
For groups of five or more, one minivan also solves the pier car park: you leave a single car rather than two.
Prices for car rental in Koh Samui for Ang Thong trip
Rates on this page run from ฿1,000 a day for a Comfort sedan to ฿4,000 for a Jeep Wrangler, with VAT 7% already inside the figure. What you pay depends on the class you pick and how many days you keep the car — the two move together.
Daily rates from ฿1,000 to ฿4,000
We hire out cars from ฿1,000 to ฿4,000 per day, VAT 7% included. The Comfort class is the entry point: a Honda Civic at ฿1,000, a Honda Accord or a Nissan Teana at ฿1,400. Minivans open at ฿1,200 for a Toyota Avanza and climb through the Toyota Sienta and Honda Mobilio at ฿1,400–1,450 to the Honda BR-V at ฿1,500, Toyota Innova and Toyota Veloz at ฿1,800. Crossovers sit from ฿1,350 for a Nissan Juke up to ฿1,850 for a Honda HR-V, with the hybrid Nissan Kicks e-Power at ฿1,600 and the Toyota Corolla Cross at ฿1,700 in between. The SUV & 4x4 class starts at ฿1,700 for an Isuzu MU-X and reaches ฿2,200 for a Mitsubishi Pajero Sport or Toyota Fortuner, ฿2,900 for a Toyota Land Cruiser FJ and ฿4,000 for the Jeep Wrangler.
Weekly from ฿6,000 and monthly from ฿21,000
Weekly rates start at ฿6,000 and monthly rates at ฿21,000. The arithmetic is simple and it is the only one we apply: weekly = daily x 6, monthly = daily x 21, so a longer booking always lands at a lower cost per day than the daily rate. A Comfort sedan at ฿1,000 a day becomes ฿6,000 for the week and ฿21,000 for the month; a Honda CR-V at ฿1,650 a day works out at ฿9,900 weekly and ฿34,650 monthly on the same multipliers. If your Ang Thong Marine Park day is one stop in a two-week stay, the weekly rate is the one to ask about at booking.
- Daily: from ฿1,000 to ฿4,000, VAT 7% included, available from 1 day.
- Weekly: from ฿6,000, calculated as the daily rate multiplied by 6.
- Monthly: from ฿21,000, calculated as the daily rate multiplied by 21.
- Security hold: a bank card in the main driver's name; the amount is set out in the rental agreement.
- Delivery: the address, date and time are agreed with a manager before the booking is fixed; any delivery fee is agreed when booking.
What changes the figure
Two things move the number: the class and the length of the booking. A family of five travelling with boat bags and snorkelling kit fits a 7-seat minivan at ฿1,200–1,800 a day rather than two smaller cars, and the weekly multiplier then does more work for them than for a solo traveller in a Civic. Minimum driver age is 21, and conditions for drivers under 25 and for premium classes are set out in the agreement.
Rules for car rental in Koh Samui for Ang Thong trip
The paperwork for a self-drive car on Koh Samui is short: your passport, your home driving licence and an International Driving Permit.
Licence, IDP and passport for the hand-over
- Home driving licence: valid for the whole hire.
- International Driving Permit: issued under the 1949 Geneva Convention; Thailand recognises it alongside your national licence, as section 42 bis of the Motor Vehicle Act requires.
- ASEAN nationals: drive on a national licence, with no permit needed.
- Bank card in the main driver's name: used for the security hold; the amount is set out in the rental agreement.
- Minimum age: 21; conditions for drivers under 25 and for premium classes are set out in the agreement.
Police fine drivers without a permit ฿500–1,000, and an insurer may refuse a claim after an incident — so carry both documents in the car, not in your hotel room.
Insurance: what Por Ror Bor and Class 1 cover
Compulsory motor insurance, Por Ror Bor, is attached to every registered car and covers injury to third parties. First-class insurance covers damage to the car itself, and its terms and the excess are set out in the rental agreement. We hand the car over clean with a full tank. The security hold sits on a bank card in the main driver's name, and the amount is likewise set out in the agreement rather than quoted here.
Driving rules worth knowing before the pier run
- Left-hand traffic, right-hand drive: every car in the fleet is right-hand drive, and traffic keeps left.
- Speed: 80 km/h in built-up areas and 90–120 km/h outside them; the island has no motorway and no four-lane divided road.
- Alcohol: the limit is 50 mg% in blood, 20 mg% for drivers under 20 and for temporary licence holders; refusing a test counts as admitting the offence.
- Child seats: children under 6 need a TISI-standard seat, and passengers below 135 cm need a belt or a dedicated seat; the fine runs to ฿2,000.
- Seat belts: every passenger, including the rear row, buckles up.
- Kerbside parking: red-and-white and yellow-and-white kerbs are no-parking; any penalty is set out in the rental agreement.
- Camera fines: issued to the car owner and re-invoiced to the renter.
Since 30 December 2025 a car rental agreement in Thailand is a contract controlled by the OCPB: it is written in Thai, and every fee and penalty is disclosed inside it. If a clause is unclear, ask the manager before you drive off — that conversation is part of the booking, not an afterthought.
Driving to the pier with car rental in Koh Samui
The ring road that circles the island runs 51 km and links the lowland with the coast, so every resort you might start from — Nathon, Lipa Noi, Lamai, Chaweng, Bophut, Maenam — sits directly on it. The drive to the Ang Thong boats is a run along that road to the pier your operator names. We hand the car over clean with a full tank, so the only stop you plan is the one you choose.
What the road itself is like
Traffic keeps to the left and every car is right-hand drive. Hazards are ordinary ones: potholes in the surface, sometimes deep, standing water after rain, oil patches left by refuse trucks, and animals wandering onto the asphalt. On the wettest stretches — mid-October to early December brings the heaviest rainfall of the year — flooded sections and slick asphalt raise the risk, so allow extra time rather than extra speed.
Timing your departure for the boat
- Departure time: check it on your tour booking and work the hand-over back from it.
- Fuel: the car comes with a full tank and goes back with a full tank.
- Daylight: the return drive is easier in daylight.
- Rain months: October to December is the wettest stretch — build in a buffer.
If the boat gets you back late, the animals and potholes do not disappear after dark.
Driving rules that matter on this run
A foreign visitor needs a home driving licence plus an International Driving Permit (1949 Geneva Convention), and driving without one carries a police fine of ฿500–1,000 while an insurer may refuse a claim. Children under 6 must ride in a child seat to the TISI standard, and everyone in the car wears a seatbelt, including the back row. Parking against a red-and-white or yellow-and-white kerb is not allowed. Rent-Trip fits every car with automatic transmission, which leaves you free to watch the road rather than the gear lever on the left-hand side.
Getting to the pier without the stress
Confirm your pier when the tour is booked, and check the drive time from your address the evening before. Delivery to any address on Koh Samui is arranged with a manager, and the address, date and time are agreed before the booking is fixed.
Booking car rental in Koh Samui for Ang Thong
Tell the manager where you are staying, which pier your Ang Thong Marine Park boat leaves from and what time you need to be there, and we agree the delivery address, date and time before the booking is fixed.
What to send when you book
- Your pier: the one named on your tour booking — say which, and we plan the delivery window around the drive.
- Your documents: passport, home driving licence, International Driving Permit unless you hold an ASEAN licence, and a bank card in the main driver's name for the security hold.
- Your group: seat count and luggage decide whether a 5-seat crossover is enough or you need a 7-seat minivan.
- Your address: a hotel name, a villa or a private house — delivery is agreed when booking, not promised on the site.
The car arrives clean with a full tank, which means the first stop on your route is the pier and not a fuel station. The security hold on the bank card in the main driver's name is set out in the rental agreement, and so are the terms for drivers under 25 and for premium classes. Minimum driver age is 21.
Changing the plan
Traffic-camera fines issued to the car owner are re-invoiced to the renter, so keep the delivery address and the driver's details current through the whole booking.
