Nissan car rental in Koh Samui
Kenan AlkanCity and intercity driver
Published Updated
If you need a Nissan car rental in Koh Samui, we have six cars on the island, from ฿850 per day, and we bring the car to you. The delivery address, the date and the time are agreed with a manager before the booking is fixed. Our Nissan line-up covers Economy, Crossovers, Electric and Comfort — all automatic, all five seats, all right-hand drive for Thailand's left-hand traffic.
Nissan car rental in Koh Samui for every trip
Six Nissan models sit on this page — four classes, every car automatic and five-seat. The choice is less about the badge than about how you plan to use the island: short hops around Chaweng, a family week with luggage, or long ring-road days with the air conditioning running.
Six Nissans on this page and what each one is for
Our cheapest Nissan is the Almera at ฿850 a day, followed by the March at ฿900, the Leaf at ฿950, the Juke at ฿1,350, the Teana at ฿1,400 and the Kicks e-Power at ฿1,600. The Almera is a 1.0 L sedan with a 100 hp engine — enough for two people and a couple of bags on the 51 km ring road. The Leaf is the only fully electric car here, the Juke and Kicks e-Power are the two crossovers, and the Teana is the 2.0 L sedan.

Economy, Crossovers, Electric or Comfort
- Economy — 2 cars from ฿850: the Almera and the March, both petrol, both front-wheel drive, both five-seat — the cheapest way to cover the island.
- Comfort — 1 car from ฿1,400: the Teana, a 2.0 L sedan with 142 hp.
- All six: automatic transmission, five seats, front-wheel drive — no four-wheel drive anywhere in this Nissan line-up.
What Nissan car rental in Koh Samui costs
Daily rates for our six Nissans run from ฿850 to ฿1,600, and longer bookings drop the per-day figure: weekly starts at ฿5,100, monthly at ฿17,850.
Daily, weekly and monthly rates
Daily rates for the Nissan fleet run ฿850–฿1,600; weekly bookings start at ฿5,100 and monthly at ฿17,850. The multipliers are fixed: weekly is charged as daily x 6 and monthly as daily x 21, so a fortnight at the Almera rate lands well under fourteen separate days.
Weekly and monthly rates by class
| Class | Cars | From, per day | Weekly from | Monthly from |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Economy | 2 | ฿850 | ฿5,100 | ฿17,850 |
| Electric | 1 | ฿950 | ฿5,700 | ฿19,950 |
| Crossovers | 2 | ฿1,350 | ฿8,100 | ฿28,350 |
| Comfort | 1 | ฿1,400 | ฿8,400 | ฿29,400 |
What is included in the price
- Full tank: the Nissan is handed over clean with a full tank, so your first stop is your own choice.
- Deposit and excess: a bank card in the main driver's name covers the security hold; the amount, the insurance excess and any delivery fee sit in the rental agreement.
- Minimum age: 21, with conditions for drivers under 25 and for premium classes also set out in that agreement.
Read the fee lines in the agreement before you commit to a month — that is where the real per-day cost is decided.
How Nissan car rental in Koh Samui delivers your car
We bring the car to you rather than asking you to collect it. The delivery address, the date and the time are agreed with a manager before the booking is fixed, and any delivery fee is agreed at the same moment — it is not part of the headline rate. That single arrangement covers the whole island, so where you stay decides nothing about whether Rent-Trip can reach you.
Where we deliver your Nissan
We deliver to any address on Koh Samui and to Samui International Airport (USM). The island is compact — 228.7 km², with the 51 km ring road linking Nathon, Lipa Noi, Lamai, Chaweng, Bophut and Maenam — so a hand-over in Chaweng and one in Taling Ngam are the same job for us, just a different drive. Samui International Airport sits in Bo Phut, about 2 km north of Chaweng, which makes it a natural meeting point if you land and want the car straight away. Delivery elsewhere is arranged case by case and is not promised on the site, so if your plans move — a ferry to Koh Phangan, a night in Lamai instead of Maenam — raise it with the manager before the booking is fixed rather than after.
What to check before you drive off
- Controls: confirm the indicator and wiper stalks — every car here is right-hand drive and traffic keeps to the left.
- Documents: passport, home driving licence and an International Driving Permit unless you hold an ASEAN licence.
- Timing: the delivery address, date and time are confirmed when booking, so check them once more before the car arrives.
How the hand-over is arranged
A bank card in the main driver's name is used for the security hold; the amount is set out in the agreement. Minimum driver age is 21, and conditions for drivers under 25 and for premium classes are set out in the agreement too.
Documents and driving rules for your Nissan rental
Foreign visitors need their home driving licence plus an International Driving Permit issued under the 1949 Geneva Convention; section 42 bis of the Motor Vehicle Act is the rule behind it. Citizens of ASEAN countries may drive on their national licence instead. The police fine for driving without the permit is ฿500–1,000, and an insurer may refuse a claim after an incident. Bring your passport, your home licence, the permit and a bank card in the main driver's name — the security hold on that card is set out in the rental agreement, not in the headline rate.
- Home driving licence: the physical licence from your country of residence.
- International Driving Permit: the 1949 Geneva Convention booklet, required alongside the home licence unless you hold an ASEAN licence.
- Bank card: in the main driver's name, used for the security hold.
- Minimum age: 21; conditions for drivers under 25 and for premium classes are set out in the agreement.
Left-hand traffic and island speed limits
Thailand drives on the left and every car is right-hand drive, so your first kilometre in a Nissan Almera or March will feel mirrored — take the ring road slowly until the lane position settles. All passengers, front and rear, must wear seatbelts. Children under 6 need a child seat to the TISI standard, and below 135 cm a belt or a special seat; the fine runs up to ฿2,000.
Alcohol, parking and camera fines
The blood-alcohol limit is 50 mg% for most drivers and 20 mg% for those under 20 or on temporary licences; refusing a test counts as admission, and the penalty reaches a year in prison, a ฿5,000–20,000 fine or both, plus at least six months without a licence. Do not park by red-and-white or yellow-and-white kerbs.
Fuel choices for Nissan car rental in Koh Samui
Four of our six Nissans run on petrol, one is a hybrid and one is fully electric. Which you pick changes where you refuel, how often and what you pay per kilometre. The island network is small and cash still rules at the pump, so the fuel choice is worth ten minutes of thought before you book.
Petrol Nissans: Almera, March, Juke and Teana
The Almera (1.0 L, 100 hp), March (1.2 L, 79 hp), Juke (1.6 L, 114 hp) and Teana (2.0 L, 142 hp) all take petrol, and every one of them is automatic and front-wheel drive. Cards are accepted at very few stations, so keep cash in the glovebox; the Bangchak board is priced for Bangkok, and the island figure is not measured.
The hybrid: Kicks e-Power
The Kicks e-Power is the only hybrid on this page: a 1.2 L petrol engine that generates electricity for the motor, 136 hp, automatic, front-wheel drive, ฿1,600 a day. There is no plug and no charging stop — you fill it with petrol like any other car and the drivetrain does the rest.
The electric: Leaf
The Leaf is our only electric car — a 40 kWh battery, 150 hp, automatic, front-wheel drive, ฿950 a day.
- Petrol: Almera, March, Juke, Teana — refuel anywhere, pay cash.
- Payment: cash is the norm; card acceptance is rare.
Driving a rented Nissan around Koh Samui
The ring road and how the island is laid out
The ring road runs 51 km around the island and connects the lowland with the coast, linking every resort — Nathon, Lipa Noi, Lamai, Chaweng, Bophut and Maenam. Watch for potholes, sometimes deep ones, standing water after rain, oil patches from refuse trucks and animals at the roadside.
Which Nissan for which road
- Nissan Leaf: the quiet option for a full day of short hops; 40 kWh and 150 hp, with charging planned the night before.
Left-hand traffic, right-hand drive
- Turning: left turns are the easy ones; a right turn crosses the oncoming lane, so wait for a clear gap rather than edging out.
- Parking: red-and-white and yellow-and-white kerbs mean no parking; the fine for it is set out in the rental agreement.
Fuel stations on the island sell E20, 91 and 95, and most take cash — few accept cards, so keep small notes in the car.
Insurance, deposit and the rental agreement
Two insurance layers sit behind every Nissan on this page. Compulsory motor insurance, Por Ror Bor, is attached to the registered car and covers injury to third parties. First-class (Class 1) insurance covers damage to the car itself — its terms and the excess are written into the contract. Since 30 December 2025 a hire contract on Koh Samui is controlled by the OCPB: it is written in Thai, and all fees and penalties are disclosed in it.
The security hold is taken on a bank card in the main driver's name; the amount is written into the contract. Minimum driver age is 21, and conditions for younger drivers and for premium classes are written into the contract as well.
- Insurance: compulsory Por Ror Bor covers third parties; Class 1 covers the car, with the excess stated in the contract.
- Deposit: a bank card in the main driver's name carries the security hold; the amount is written into the contract.
- Age: minimum 21; younger drivers and premium classes follow conditions written into the contract.
- Documents: passport, home driving licence, International Driving Permit unless you hold an ASEAN licence, and a bank card in the main driver's name.
- VAT: 7% is already included in the prices shown.
One detail worth knowing before you collect the car: a foreign visitor needs a home driving licence plus an International Driving Permit under the 1949 Geneva Convention and section 42 bis of the Motor Vehicle Act. The police fine for driving without one is ฿500–1,000, and an insurer may refuse a claim. Citizens of ASEAN countries may drive on their national licence.
How to book your Nissan car rental in Koh Samui
Decide on the model first, then the dates, then message us — the three take about as long as reading this page. The six Nissans are Almera, March, Leaf, Juke, Teana and Kicks e-Power, priced from ฿850 to ฿1,600 a day, all automatic, all five seats, all delivered with a full tank. Tell us which one fits your trip and we will confirm whether it is free for your window.
- Delivery address: any address on the island or Samui International Airport (USM); if you are staying somewhere else, say so and we will confirm whether it can be arranged.
- Licence: your home driving licence plus an International Driving Permit, unless you hold an ASEAN licence.
- Bank card: in the main driver's name, for the security hold.
The deposit, the insurance excess and the rest of the commercial terms sit in the rental agreement, which is written in Thai and discloses every fee and penalty in it.
Two things worth doing before you write to us. Check your permit is the 1949 Geneva Convention booklet and still valid — the police fine for driving without one runs ฿500–1,000, and an insurer may refuse a claim. And check your travel dates against the weather: October to December brings the heaviest rain of the year, with November alone averaging 444.6 mm across 16.5 wet days, while February to April is the dry stretch.
