Monthly Scooter Rental in Phuket: Prices, Tips & What to Check (2026)
By the Phuket Motorbike editorial team · Updated 2026-10-23 · 4 min read
Quick answer
If you are staying in Phuket for a month or longer, a monthly scooter rental is by far the cheapest way to get around. Monthly rates are a fraction of the daily price multiplied by thirty, but the shop, the bike and the contract matter more over a long rental.
Typical monthly prices
Monthly rates vary with season and bike size. A 110-125cc automatic often costs roughly 3,000-5,000 THB per month outside peak season; 150-160cc bikes cost more, and maxi scooters cost the most. Prices are higher from December to February, so negotiate early in your stay.
What to ask before you sign
Long rentals fail on small details, so settle them up front.
- Who pays for servicing, oil changes and tyre wear during the month
- What happens if the bike breaks down: replacement bike or repair time
- Whether the monthly price is paid up front or weekly
- Deposit amount and the conditions for getting it back
- Insurance cover for theft, damage and third-party injury
Save money on a long stay
Ask for the monthly price even if you only need three weeks, rent from a shop near where you live so swaps are easy, and keep photos and a copy of your contract. Extend week by week rather than paying for time you may not use.
