Electric Aion Rental in Phuket

The Aion Y Plus electric crossover on Phuket, with 5 seats, automatic transmission, and front-wheel drive, rents from ฿1,600 per day, ฿9,600 weekly, or ฿33,600 monthly, including free delivery island-wide and to the airport.
Why the Aion Y Plus works as your Phuket rental car
The Aion Y Plus is a 5-seat electric crossover that fits Phuket's roads better than most rental sedans. With a 63 kWh battery, 204 hp and an automatic front-wheel-drive powertrain, it behaves like a city car at low speed and settles into a comfortable cruiser once you join the main island roads. Because Phuket is roughly 50 km from north to south, the range is never a concern for a day of beach hopping between Patong, Kata and Rawai.
Why the electric crossover suits island driving:
- Instant torque: the electric motor delivers power smoothly from a standstill, which helps on the steep Patong Hill and the Kata–Sai Yuan descent without engine braking.
- Automatic gearbox: no clutch work in stop-and-go traffic around Phuket Town or the Central Phuket junction.
- Right-hand drive: like every car on the island, the Aion Y Plus has the steering wheel on the right, matching the left-hand traffic flow.
- Flat floor and tall roof: five adults sit with real legroom, and the boot offers generous space for luggage on a week-long stay.
- Silent cabin: at ฿1,600 per day you get an EV that removes engine noise on the Patong–Karon coastal run.
We have kept the fleet simple at Rent-Trip: 88 cars across 8 classes, and the Aion Y Plus is our fully electric crossover. For a visitor who wants one transparent price, the Aion Y Plus is the easiest car we deliver.
Aion Y Plus Rental on Phuket — Price, Battery, and Inclusions
The Aion Y Plus hire runs on one flat rate: ฿1,600 per day, with VAT included and no mileage limit on the island. That single price covers the whole car — a 63 kWh battery, 204 hp electric motor and five seats — not a base rate with add-ons.
What the flat daily rate includes
- The car itself: a 5-seat Aion Y Plus crossover with automatic transmission and front-wheel drive.
- VAT and island mileage: 7% tax is in the price; driving around Phuket is unlimited.
- Delivery and pickup: we bring the car anywhere on the island and to Phuket Airport (HKT), and collect it after the hire.
- Condition on arrival: the car is handed over clean and ready to drive; the exact battery level at pickup is agreed when booking.
- Insurance: compulsory Por Ror Bor cover is attached to the car; first-class terms and the excess are set out in the rental agreement.
Daily, weekly and monthly rates
| Rental period | Price | Effective daily rate |
|---|---|---|
| 1 day | ฿1,600 | ฿1,600 |
| 1 week | ฿9,600 | ฿1,600 |
| 1 month | ฿33,600 | ฿1,600 |
Weekly and monthly bookings work out cheaper because you pay for six days in a week and twenty-one days in a month. For a two-week stay the monthly rate rarely makes sense, but for a longer trip it is worth asking us about the 21-day option when you book.
What one charge covers on the island
The 63 kWh battery gives enough range for any day trip you can plan here. A full day of beaches and viewpoints across the island fits within a single charge, and the car can be recharged overnight at your accommodation. Charging options are set out in the rental agreement, so you know what to expect before you set off.
Delivering your Aion Y Plus rental anywhere on Phuket, including the airport
We bring the Aion Y Plus to you — delivery across the island and to Phuket Airport (HKT) is free, and the condition of the car on arrival is set out in the rental agreement. You tell us where you are staying, agree a time, and we meet you there with the keys. The same applies for arrival at HKT: land, collect your bags, and the handover at the airport is arranged as part of your booking.
- Free island-wide delivery: we bring the car to Patong, Karon, Kata, Rawai, Nai Harn, Bang Tao, Laguna, Surin, Kamala, Chalong, Cape Panwa, Phuket Town or any other point on the island — no delivery fee.
- Free airport pickup at HKT: the Aion Y Plus is delivered to the airport in Thalang district; from the terminal it is roughly 45 minutes to Patong and 20 minutes to Bang Tao.
- Condition on arrival: the crossover is handed over in the condition set out in the rental agreement, so you can start driving immediately.
- Hire from one day: the minimum period is a single day, with mileage on the island unlimited.
Planning your pickup time on Phuket
For an airport collection, we recommend booking at least a day ahead and confirming your flight number by WhatsApp or LINE — the exact meeting point and handover time are agreed when booking. For a hotel or villa delivery, choose a time that avoids the heaviest traffic: the Patong–Phuket Town corridor and the route past Central Phuket are busiest in the late afternoon. If your flight lands late at HKT, mention it when booking — delivery to Nai Yang or Mai Khao hotels near the airport is possible. All handover details are set out in the rental agreement.
Driving Your Aion Y Plus Hire on Phuket — Traffic, Hills, Parking
The Aion Y Plus is an electric crossover, and on Phuket that combination suits the way the island actually drives: left-hand traffic, short steep hills in the west, and stop-and-go beach roads where an automatic gearbox earns its keep. There is no gear shifting, no clutch, and the front-wheel drive handles the paved island roads without drama.
Left-hand traffic and right-hand drive
Thailand drives on the left, and every car we hire out, including the Aion Y Plus, is right-hand drive. For visitors from Europe or North America the adjustment usually takes the first hour. At roundabouts, traffic comes from the right. The Aion Y Plus's automatic transmission removes one layer of distraction — you never reach for a gear lever with the wrong hand.
Hills on the west coast
Two roads demand attention: Patong Hill on the route from Phuket Town to Patong, and the Kata–Sai Yuan road down to Rawai and Nai Harn. Both are steep but fully paved. The Aion Y Plus handles them easily; going downhill, the driving mode suited to the descent is set out in the rental agreement. The electric motor provides instant torque, so overtaking on an uphill gradient is more predictable than in a small petrol car.
Parking and road rules
Beach roads in Patong, Karon and Kata have paid parking at ฿20–50 per hour; shopping centres like Central and Jungceylon park free with a purchase. There are no toll roads on the island — the Sarasin and Thepkasattri bridges to the mainland are free. Traffic-camera fines come to us as the car owner and are re-invoiced to you, so watch the speed limits through Kathu and along the bypass road.
Documents and rules for renting the Aion Y Plus on Phuket
Before you pick up the keys to your Aion Y Plus rental, it helps to know exactly which documents rental companies ask for here and what the local traffic rules mean for you as a driver. The list is short, but one missing item — the International Driving Permit — can turn a smooth holiday into a fine or a refused insurance claim.
Driving licence and International Driving Permit
Thailand drives on the left, and every car we rent, including the Aion Y Plus, is right-hand drive. For a foreign visitor, the law requires your home driving licence plus an International Driving Permit issued under the 1949 Geneva Convention — this is set out in section 42 bis of the Motor Vehicle Act. Citizens of ASEAN countries may drive on their national licence alone. The police fine for driving without the permit is ฿500–1,000, and an insurer may refuse a claim after an accident if you were unlicensed, so the permit is not a formality.
Documents we ask for at Rent-Trip
When you book the Aion Y Plus with us, the document list is straightforward and matches what any licensed company on the island must check:
- Passport: the original, valid for your whole stay.
- Home driving licence: your national licence, valid and not expired.
- International Driving Permit: required unless you hold an ASEAN licence.
- Bank card in the main driver's name: used for the security hold, with the amount set out in the rental agreement.
Rental agreement and driver conditions
Since 30 December 2025, a car rental agreement in Thailand is a contract controlled by the Office of the Consumer Protection Board (OCPB). The agreement is written in Thai, and all fees and penalties are disclosed in it — nothing hidden. The minimum driver age with us is 21; conditions for drivers under 25 are set out in the agreement. Traffic-camera fines are issued to the car owner and re-invoiced to the renter, so returning the car with an unpaid ticket simply delays your own paperwork. Read the agreement before signing — that ten minutes saves a misunderstanding later.
Insurance on your Aion Y Plus rental in Phuket
Every car we rent out, including the Aion Y Plus, carries the compulsory motor insurance (Por Ror Bor) that Thai law attaches to all registered vehicles, and this policy is included in your ฿1,600 daily rate. Por Ror Bor covers injury to third parties, which is the legal minimum, but for an electric crossover you will also want first-class cover for the car itself.
How the two insurance layers work
- Compulsory insurance (Por Ror Bor): covers medical costs for third parties injured in an accident; it is attached to the car, so you are protected from the first kilometre.
- First-class (Class 1) insurance: covers damage to the Aion Y Plus itself, including a collision or a single-car incident on a wet Patong Hill descent.
- Excess and terms: the deductible and the exact scope of Class 1 cover are written into your rental agreement, so you know your liability before you drive.
- Third-party property: if you damage another vehicle, the claim runs through the Class 1 policy, not Por Ror Bor, which only addresses injury.
The agreement you sign with Rent-Trip states the excess amount and what first-class insurance does and does not cover in plain terms. Read that clause before you accept the car — the Aion Y Plus is a 204 hp crossover, and the exact terms of your cover are set out in the rental agreement.
What voids your cover
Driving without a valid International Driving Permit is the one action that can make an insurer refuse a claim entirely. If you hold an ASEAN national licence, you may drive on it, but for everyone else the 1949 Geneva Convention permit is mandatory, and the police fine for skipping it is ฿500–1,000 on top of the insurance risk. Since 30 December 2025, your contract with Rent-Trip is controlled by the OCPB, written in Thai, with all fees and penalties disclosed in it — so the insurance terms you agree to are the terms that apply.
Road trips beyond Phuket in your rented Aion Y Plus
The Aion Y Plus hire on the island is not limited to Phuket itself — the free Sarasin and Thepkasattri bridges connect you to the mainland. The 63 kWh battery gives you a realistic range that suits the southern destinations below, and charging options along the way are set out in the rental agreement or agreed when booking.
Mainland routes from Phuket that suit the Aion Y Plus:
- Khao Lak (~100 km, 1.5 h): the closest beach escape; flat, easy highway driving with a few places to stop if you stay overnight.
- Phang Nga Bay and Samet Nangshe viewpoint (~90 km): a popular sunrise run; the viewpoint road is asphalt but steep in places — use a low gear on the descent.
- Krabi and Ao Nang (~170 km, 3 h): a full-day trip; plan your charging before you return.
- Khao Sok national park (~175 km, 3 h): the jungle lake and limestone karsts are reachable on sealed roads only — the agreement prohibits off-road driving, so stick to the main entrance.
The roads south of the island are all toll-free — paid expressways only appear around Bangkok, so your daily rate is the final cost for any southern route. Before you set off, confirm the charging situation at your destination; while Phuket Town and the main tourist areas have public chargers, smaller towns such as Khao Lak have fewer options. Charging stops and their terms are set out in the rental agreement or agreed when booking.
Booking your Aion Y Plus hire on Phuket
Before you message us, gather four things: your passport, your home driving licence, an International Driving Permit (unless you hold an ASEAN licence), and a bank card in the main driver's name for the security hold. The hold amount is set out in the rental agreement, and the card must belong to the person who will sign. Minimum driver age is 21; conditions for drivers under 25 are also detailed in the agreement.
How to book your Aion Y Plus hire on the island
- Contact channel: WhatsApp is our main line, with LINE and phone as alternatives — send your dates and the car model, and we confirm availability the same day.
- Booking details: tell us your flight number if you land at Phuket Airport (HKT) or your hotel name on the island; delivery is free to either.
- Agreement: the contract is written in Thai and controlled by the OCPB; every fee and penalty is disclosed in it, so read it once before signing.
- Security hold: a bank card in the main driver's name is used; the amount is set out in the rental agreement.
What to check when the Aion Y Plus arrives
The car is delivered clean and charged. Walk around the body and note any existing marks on the handover report — this protects both sides when you return it. Confirm the charging cable is in the car before you drive away. If you are staying outside Phuket Town or the main resort strips, charging arrangements are agreed when booking.
Before you drive off
Confirm the return time and place, and ask how traffic-camera fines are re-invoiced — they are issued to the car owner and passed to the renter. Note that the car runs on a green plate, which is standard for hire vehicles in Thailand. One practical point from our experience: keep the agreement in the glovebox for the whole trip. If you plan a mainland run to Khao Lak or Krabi, mention it when booking — any distance conditions are set out in the rental agreement.
