Hire a Mitsubishi in Phuket – Models, Driving Tips and Handover
From ฿750 per day, Rent-Trip provides Mitsubishi rental on Phuket, delivering to your hotel, villa, or the airport for free. With 7 models, including the 7-seat Pajero Sport at ฿2,300, every car is right-hand drive and fully insured.
Which Mitsubishi to rent on Phuket — matching the model to your trip
The right Mitsubishi for your holiday here comes down to one question: how many people are travelling and what you plan to do. We rent seven Mitsubishi models across 88 cars in eight classes, from the ฿750-per-day Attrage up to the 7-seat Pajero Sport at ฿2,300. All are automatic, and every one is delivered free anywhere on the island.
Families and groups: the 7-seat MPVs
- Mitsubishi Xpander: 7 seats, petrol, front-wheel drive, 1.5 L engine — a minivan built for island holidays, ฿1,500 per day.
- Mitsubishi Xpander Cross: the raised, rugged-styled version of the Xpander with the same 7 seats and 1.5 L petrol engine, ฿1,600 per day.
- Mitsubishi Pajero Sport: a proper 7-seat diesel SUV with rear-wheel drive and 181 hp, ฿2,300 per day — the largest Mitsubishi in our fleet.
For a family of five or six moving between Patong and Kata with luggage, the Xpander is the sensible pick. If you want extra ground clearance for the steeper lanes around Kamala or Surin, the Xpander Cross adds that without giving up the third row.
Couples and solo travellers: economy hatchbacks and sedans
- Mitsubishi Attrage: 5 seats, petrol, 1.2 L engine, ฿750 per day — the most affordable Mitsubishi on the island.
- Mitsubishi Mirage: the same 1.2 L petrol hatchback at the same ฿750 per day, slightly shorter and easier to park on crowded beach roads.
Both return decent fuel economy for the stop-start driving between Karon and Phuket Town. For two people with soft bags, either car leaves the back seat free for shopping stops at Central Phuket.
Cargo and long trips: pickup and crossover
- Mitsubishi Triton: diesel pickup, 5 seats, rear-wheel drive, 184 hp, ฿1,500 per day — for surfboards, dive gear or a run to Khao Lak.
- Mitsubishi Xforce: petrol crossover, 5 seats, 1.5 L engine, ฿1,300 per day — a middle ground between the economy cars and the big MPVs.
The Triton is the one we suggest for the longer asphalt runs to Krabi or Khao Sok, with the load bed for what a hatchback cannot carry. For purely island driving, the Xforce gives a higher seating position in a body that is easier to handle than the Pajero Sport.
Rental Mitsubishi on Phuket — prices by model and term
Pricing for a Mitsubishi hire runs from ฿750 per day for the economy hatchbacks up to ฿2,300 per day for the seven-seat Pajero Sport, with weekly and monthly terms priced lower per day. Every rate already includes VAT at 7%, so the figure you see is what you pay. The table below shows the full line-up of seven Mitsubishi models in our fleet, with the daily rate and what that works out to per week and per month.
| Model | Class | Seats | Fuel | Price per day | Weekly (×6) | Monthly (×21) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mitsubishi Attrage | Economy sedan | 5 | Petrol | ฿750 | ฿4,500 | ฿15,750 |
| Mitsubishi Mirage | Economy hatchback | 5 | Petrol | ฿750 | ฿4,500 | ฿15,750 |
| Mitsubishi Xforce | Crossover | 5 | Petrol | ฿1,300 | ฿7,800 | ฿27,300 |
| Mitsubishi Xpander | MPV | 7 | Petrol | ฿1,500 | ฿9,000 | ฿31,500 |
| Mitsubishi Triton | Pickup truck | 5 | Diesel | ฿1,500 | ฿9,000 | ฿31,500 |
| Mitsubishi Xpander Cross | MPV | 7 | Petrol | ฿1,600 | ฿9,600 | ฿33,600 |
| Mitsubishi Pajero Sport | SUV | 7 | Diesel | ฿2,300 | ฿13,800 | ฿48,300 |
The weekly rate is calculated as six daily rates and the monthly rate as 21 daily rates, which is why the per-day cost drops the longer you keep the car. For a two-week stay, booking monthly works out noticeably cheaper than paying the daily rate across 14 nights. All seven cars are automatic with either petrol or diesel engines, and the two diesels — the Triton and the Pajero Sport — are the models we point long-distance drivers towards for the run to Khao Sok or Krabi.
When you book through Rent-Trip, the price in the table is final: delivery anywhere on the island and to Phuket Airport is free, and the car arrives clean with a full tank. Mileage is unlimited, so the daily rate is not tied to a kilometre cap. For a five-seat car that suits two travellers, the Attrage at ฿750 per day is an economical pick; a family of six fits the Xpander at ฿1,500. If you are comparing a Mitsubishi hire against other brands on the island, check the term length first — the exact conditions for longer rentals are set out in the rental agreement.
Getting your Mitsubishi hire on Phuket — free airport and hotel delivery
Rent-Trip works without a rental office: your Mitsubishi is driven to you anywhere on the island — a hotel, a villa, a condo, or the arrivals lane at Phuket Airport (HKT) — and the delivery is free. The car arrives clean, with a full tank and unlimited mileage on the island, so the first stop is yours to choose, not ours to dictate.
How delivery works across the island
- Phuket Airport (HKT): we meet you at the terminal in Thalang district, hand over the keys and the agreement, and you drive off — about 20 minutes to Bang Tao, 45 to Patong, 60 to Rawai.
- Hotel or villa delivery: give us the property name and the district in the booking message, and we bring the Mitsubishi to the reception at the agreed time.
- No office pick-up: because there is no desk to visit, the meeting point is wherever you are staying — the exact spot is agreed when booking.
- Full tank and clean cabin: every car is washed and refuelled before delivery, so you can start the trip without a detour to a petrol station.
Timing your delivery
Book at least a day ahead through WhatsApp, LINE or phone, and confirm your flight number for airport meetings — the meeting time is set out in the rental agreement. For hotel deliveries, pick a window when you are actually on site; if your flight reaches the island in the early morning, it is often easier to take the car at the airport and drive to the hotel yourself.
Documents at handover
The main driver must be at the meeting point with a passport, a home driving licence and an International Driving Permit (unless you hold an ASEAN licence). A bank card in the main driver's name is used for the security hold, with the amount set out in the agreement. The handover itself takes about 15 minutes — the condition of the car is recorded in the rental agreement, and you are on the road.
Driving a Mitsubishi rental on Phuket — rules, documents, left-hand traffic
Driving a Mitsubishi hire car on Phuket is straightforward once you adjust to left-hand traffic and carry the right documents — a home licence plus an International Driving Permit (IDP) issued under the 1949 Geneva Convention. Thai law is exact on this: section 42 bis of the Motor Vehicle Act requires the IDP for foreign visitors, and the police fine for driving without one is ฿500–1,000. An insurer may also refuse a claim if you crash without it. Citizens of ASEAN countries may drive on their national licence alone.
- Driving side: traffic keeps to the LEFT, and every Mitsubishi we rent is right-hand drive — give yourself time to adjust on quieter roads before tackling busier junctions.
- Documents to carry: passport, home driving licence, IDP (unless you hold an ASEAN licence) and a bank card in the main driver's name — the card is used for the security hold, the amount is set out in the rental agreement.
- Licence plates: hire cars carry green plates rather than the white plates of private cars, so rental vehicles are easy to spot in traffic.
- Camera fines: traffic-camera fines are issued to the car owner and re-invoiced to the renter; an unpaid fine blocks the renewal of the car's registration, and the terms for handling this are set out in the rental agreement.
Hills deserve respect. Patong Hill on the way from Phuket Town to Patong and the Kata–Sai Yuan road are steep — shift to a low gear on the descent and use the brakes steadily rather than continuously. There are no toll roads or barriers anywhere on the island, and the Sarasin and Thepkasattri bridges to the mainland are free, so a trip in your Mitsubishi to Khao Lak or Krabi adds no road charges. Parking is paid ฿20–50 per hour on beach streets in Patong, Karon and Kata, while Central and Jungceylon offer free parking with a purchase. On rainy-season afternoons (May to October) wet roads call for a longer following distance — the 1.5-litre engines in the Xpander and Xforce have enough pull for island gradients, and the automatic gearbox shifts smoothly when you feed the throttle gently.
Insurance and payment terms for your Mitsubishi car rental on Phuket
Every Mitsubishi we rent out on the island carries the compulsory motor insurance (Por Ror Bor), which covers injury to third parties and is attached to the registered car by law. On top of that, we include first-class (Class 1) insurance covering damage to the vehicle itself. The exact terms of Class 1 and the excess amount are set out in the rental agreement you sign at delivery.
What the rental agreement covers
- Compulsory insurance (Por Ror Bor): covers injury to third parties in an accident; it is attached to every registered car in Thailand, so your Mitsubishi is protected from the moment we hand over the keys.
- First-class (Class 1) insurance: covers damage to the car itself; the excess and the list of covered events are written in the rental agreement, not guessed at delivery.
- Security hold: we place a hold on a bank card in the main driver's name; the amount is stated in the agreement and released after the car is returned.
- Traffic-camera fines: issued to the car owner and re-invoiced to you; an unpaid fine blocks the renewal of the car's registration, so we settle it and add it to your final bill.
- Contract language: the agreement is written in Thai and controlled by the OCPB, with all fees and penalties disclosed in it — no hidden charges appear later.
How payment works
Prices shown for every Mitsubishi model include VAT at 7%. The daily figure covers the car with a full tank, unlimited mileage across the island and free delivery to your hotel, villa or Phuket Airport (HKT). For the security hold, a bank card in the main driver's name is required; the amount is set out in the rental agreement. If you are under 25 or taking a premium class such as the Pajero Sport, the conditions are set out in the agreement; contact us on WhatsApp and we will confirm them before you book.
Taking your Mitsubishi rental beyond Phuket — Khao Lak, Krabi, Khao Sok
The island is your starting point, not the limit — a Mitsubishi hire car from Rent-Trip handles the mainland roads to Khao Lak, Krabi and Khao Sok on asphalt all the way. All our cars are delivered free to your hotel or to Phuket Airport (HKT), and you cross the Sarasin or Thepkasattri bridge to the mainland at no charge.
Choosing a Mitsubishi for a Phuket road trip:
- Khao Lak (~100 km, 1.5 h): the Attrage or Mirage at ฿750/day is enough — the route is straightforward and the drive takes about an hour and a half.
- Krabi and Ao Nang (~170 km, 3 h): take the Xforce at ฿1,300/day for the longer run; the crossover gives a higher seating position and more room for luggage.
- Khao Sok national park (~175 km, 3 h): the Triton pickup or Pajero Sport SUV, both diesel and rear-wheel drive, suit the approach to the park best.
- Phang Nga Bay and Samet Nangshe (~90 km): any model works; the Xpander at ฿1,500/day gives seven seats if you are travelling as a group.
For the long trips to Khao Lak or Khao Sok we usually recommend a diesel Mitsubishi. The Triton's 2.4-litre engine returns noticeably better consumption over 350 km round trips than the 1.2-litre petrol engines, and the Pajero Sport's 181 hp makes overtaking on the two-lane sections of Route 4 safer. Both come with unlimited island mileage; the terms for mainland driving are set out in the rental agreement.
The roads south from Phuket are all paved, so there is no need for off-road capability. The agreement for every Mitsubishi prohibits driving on beaches, jungle tracks or unsealed roads. Carry your passport, home licence and International Driving Permit together — a fine for driving without one is ฿500–1,000.
Mitsubishi rental on Phuket for a month — long-stay economics
Monthly rates make a Mitsubishi noticeably cheaper than stacking daily bookings, and the maths is simple: a month costs 21 daily rates, not 30. On the ฿750-per-day Attrage or Mirage that works out to ฿15,750 for four weeks, while the 7-seat Pajero Sport at ฿2,300 per day comes to ฿48,300. Weekly terms follow the same logic — six daily rates, so ฿4,500 for the economy pair — which makes weekly booking a practical option for longer stays.
What the monthly term includes:
- Free island-wide delivery: we bring the car to your hotel, villa or Phuket Airport (HKT) at no charge, whenever your stay begins.
- Unlimited island mileage: no per-kilometre counting for trips around Patong, Rawai or Chalong.
- Full tank and clean car: the Mitsubishi arrives washed, with fuel, ready to drive from the first minute.
- Automatic transmission on every model: no need to adapt to a manual gearbox on left-hand traffic.
For a month on the island, the Xpander and Xpander Cross — both 7-seat petrol MPVs at ฿1,500 and ฿1,600 per day — give you room for passengers and luggage on trips around the island and to Phuket Airport (HKT). The Attrage and Mirage are simple, economical hatchbacks and sedans for everyday driving between the beaches. The diesel Triton pickup suits those who need a load bed during their stay. The Pajero Sport, at ฿2,300 per day, is the choice for longer road trips to Khao Sok or Krabi mid-stay.
Booking a month with Rent-Trip is done through WhatsApp or LINE, and the agreement — written in Thai under the OCPB rules — states all fees, the security hold on your bank card and the insurance terms before you confirm. The security amount is set out in the rental agreement, as are the conditions for drivers under 25. Any questions about vehicle maintenance during a long booking are best raised when booking, so that everything is agreed in advance.
Mitsubishi hire checklist before booking on Phuket
Run through these points before you confirm a Mitsubishi rental, and the handover goes smoothly. The list below covers documents, driver requirements and the details worth checking in the agreement.
- Documents: bring your passport, your home driving licence and an International Driving Permit (1949 Geneva Convention) — ASEAN citizens may drive on their national licence. Driving without the permit carries a police fine of ฿500–1,000 and an insurer may refuse a claim.
- Driver age: the minimum is 21; conditions for drivers under 25 and for premium classes such as the Pajero Sport are set out in the rental agreement.
- Security hold: a bank card in the main driver's name is used for the hold; the amount is set out in the rental agreement.
- Insurance scope: compulsory Por Ror Bor covers third-party injury; first-class insurance covers the car itself, with its terms and excess stated in the agreement.
- Fuel and condition: the car arrives clean with a full tank; the return fuel policy is set out in the rental agreement.
- Fines: traffic-camera fines are issued to the owner and re-invoiced to you; an unpaid fine blocks the registration renewal, so the settlement terms are set out in the rental agreement.
When you book through WhatsApp, the exact model, the delivery point and the hold amount are agreed when booking. On the day, check the car's body for existing scratches and note them in the handover sheet — the deposit release terms are set out in the rental agreement. If your flight lands late, tell us the arrival time and we meet you at Phuket Airport (HKT) arrivals with the keys.
