I gave a full five-star rating, couldn't find anything unsatisfactory at all, it was perfect! The location is the third spot to the right after exiting the first gate at Phuket Airport. The signage is very clear, easy to spot. I took my pre-printed confirmation, and the staff welcomed me warmly. The process was quick and simple. I had my English notarized driver's license ready, the staff just glanced at the original license and it was fine. Next, the staff escorted me to the parking lot, and the car I booked online was already prepared. The car was very new and clean, with only over 10,000 kilometers on it, basically a new car. When returning the car, just drive to the designated parking lot and look for people in Thai Rent A Car uniforms to inspect and collect the car. The procedure was very simple and done in three minutes, and the service was very friendly! I will definitely rent from Thai Rent A Car again when I go to Phuket!

Excellent service. They have a counter inside the airport and you can pick up your car directly at the airport parking lot, which is very convenient. The best part is that since it's a local company, you can pick up the car even at midnight or early morning, which other international brands can't offer.

The service was excellent. There was a female staff member when I arrived, who efficiently completed the procedures for me. The vehicle was in great condition. I initially thought it would be a very small compact car, but it turned out to be a sedan similar to the Nissan Sunny in my country. A pleasant surprise! The car had only driven 12,000 kilometers, so it was relatively new.

Very satisfied with the car rental service. At the airport counter, we handed over the documents and they took us to the parking lot to pick up the car. Before taking the car, we checked for any scratches on the exterior, and their staff proactively marked them on the form and reminded us to return the car with a full tank. They also marked a 24-hour gas station on the map for us. When returning the car, we were worried about the early time (5:30 AM) causing delays, but as soon as we parked, a THAI representative arrived by car. The entire process of vehicle inspection and checkout took no more than 15 minutes.

I encountered a small issue when renting the car because my credit card was maxed out and I couldn't complete the deposit transaction. I had cash but the counter staff said they only accept credit cards. Later, I called the credit card center to apply for a higher limit and finally managed to rent the car. I suggest the company offer more payment options in the future.

We arrived in Phuket at 4 AM on December 2nd, and since our scheduled car pickup time was 5 AM, we waited 45 minutes for the staff to arrive. Our originally booked Nissan Almera was upgraded for free to a Honda ACCORD. My wife and son were both very happy. The car had 40,000 kilometers on it, which was quite good. The staff took ten minutes to inspect the car and also explained some basic operations inside, which was very helpful. We drove for 7 days, and one tank of fuel lasted the entire time. On the last day, we didn't have time to fill up the tank, so we ended up paying double for the fuel, which was a loss.

The staff were very friendly and their English was good. When I picked up the car, they marked any scratches on the inspection sheet. The car was relatively new, a Corolla with less than 8000 kilometers. When returning the car, I parked it in their lot myself, without any staff guidance. The return process was smooth, mainly checking the fuel tank and some parts for any collisions. The surprise was that the staff member asked where I was going, and since I was staying near the airport, he voluntarily drove me to the hotel. Of course, the $20 tip was given willingly from my side.

There is a counter in the airport hall which is very convenient, and the procedures are quick. When returning the car, you can't enter through the exit door; the security personnel will guide you to a small pathway for the return process. During the vehicle inspection, all visible minor damages are noted, and during the return, the staff just does a quick check. I offered a tip when picking up the car, but the staff politely refused. Due to the narrow lanes in the parking lot and my lack of experience with right-hand driving, I requested the staff to move the car to a wider road, and they were very helpful. I initially booked a TOYOTA VIOS but later found out it had been upgraded to a Toyota Altis, which was fairly new though previously a bit damaged. We chose Toyota because it was pricier, but we had a lot of luggage. If the luggage amount is known, a smaller car like a Nissan could work. I was very satisfied with Thai Rent A Car, even booking another car with them in Chiang Mai during our Phuket trip. I will choose this company again on future trips to Thailand.
