One of the most important aspects is paying the transport road tax.

Why is paying transport tax so important?

The Road Tax (ภาษีทางหลวง) is a mandatory tax that vehicle owners must pay. In Thailand, this tax is a prerequisite for legal use of a car on the roads. If the tax is not paid, the police have the right to seize the vehicle, and the driver may be fined starting from 2,000 baht.

In addition, an important aspect is that car insurance is only valid if the road tax has been paid. This means that in the event of an accident or other unforeseen situation, if the tax has not been paid, you risk being left without insurance, which can lead to significant financial losses.

Our competitive advantage

According to Thai law, the new owner of a car is required to register it or register it in the province where the vehicle is planned to be used. This requirement is based on Article 19 of the Road Traffic Law of the Kingdom of Thailand.

Registration of insurance

Re-registration of a car to a new owner has several important reasons, and one of them is related to the purchase of car insurance. If the new owner does not re-register the car in his name and is not included in the blue book (an official document certifying ownership of the car), then in the event of an accident the insurance company will request the bank account of the old owner. In this case, all payments under the insurance policy will be made to the account of the previous owner of the car. This may be disadvantageous for the new owner, who will not be able to receive compensation for the insured event.

Therefore, in order to avoid such problems, the owner of the car should re-register it in his name after purchase, within 30 calendar days. This will allow the new owner to purchase insurance for the car and be confident in receiving payments under the insurance policy if necessary.

Confirmation of legality of vehicle purchase

Re-registration of a car is also a procedure that helps confirm the legality of its purchase. This gives the buyer confidence that he is purchasing a car that does not have legal problems or restrictions. When re-registering a car to a new owner, the Phuket Transport Department checks its history, including checking for any outstanding fines, restrictions or liens. Thus, the new owner can be confident that the transaction is clean and there are no potential problems.

In conclusion, when buying a used car in Thailand, it is important to remember that the vehicle must be re-titled and registered to the new owner.

How to check the reliability of a company when renting a car in Phuket?

You can request company documents, but you will find that not all companies are willing to provide them directly via WhatsApp or email.

However, there is an easier way to check the legitimacy of a company. You can ask for payment to be made to the account of a Thai company. If the company is registered in Thailand, they must provide you with the details of the Thai legal entity. A Thai company invoice looks like the photo below (an example of an invoice for our company <Sporty Scooter Co., Ltd>).

If a company has such an account, you can be sure that they operate legally. Payment to a Thai account is one of the confirmations of the company’s reliability.

If you have any questions or would like to receive additional documents to confirm our legality, we are ready to provide you with the necessary information and details so that you can be confident in choosing our company to rent a car in Phuket.

Why is it riskily to rent a car in Phuket from a private person?

Renting a car in Phuket from private individuals can be dangerous for the renter. If a private person does not have a Thai passport (as a rule, this is a Russian-speaking person who decided to earn easy money), then in the event of an accident, responsibility for the incident will be assigned to the renter of the car and the insurance will not cover anything. Private individuals, as a rule, cannot come to the police station and sign all the necessary documents stating that the car is rented. In addition, private individuals, as a rule, rent cars from Thais and cannot report to the police that they rented a car.

If you rent a car in Phuket from a private party, you may face serious problems, including FULL liability for the accident and HUGE financial losses. Therefore, it is highly not recommended to rent a car in Phuket in 2023 from private individuals.

To avoid such problems, it is recommended to choose officially registered car rental companies that have all the necessary documents and work permits. The company that brings you the car must have a person with a work permit and be with a local resident, which indicates that the company operates legally. Working with a registered company will ensure your safety, protection of your rights and interests in the event of an accident, and will also ensure the legality of the entire process of renting a car in Phuket.

For example, in August 2022, Patong was flooded after a heavy rainstorm. The water rose to the knees and flooded the streets, making it difficult for pedestrians and motorcyclists to get around. Similar cases of street flooding in Phuket have been reported in past years during the rainy season.

In this regard, renting a car during the rainy season in Phuket becomes a safer option to travel.

In addition, car rental is no more expensive than motorcycle rental, but more profitable in almost all cases.

Benefits of renting a car

• First, a car is more stable on the road during heavy rains than a motorcycle. The presence of four wheels makes the car more stable and less prone to slip on wet roads.
• Secondly, the car provides more protection for passengers in the event of an accident.
• Thirdly, you can move freely in the car and not worry about getting your clothes and personal belongings wet.
• Fourth, renting a car provides more flexibility in route planning. This allows you to choose safer and more remote routes.

Riding the mountainous roads of Phuket during the rainy season on a motorcycle can be very dangerous. During this period, various uneven and slippery places often form on the roads, which can lead to falls and injuries.

In Phuket, bikes are one of the most popular modes of transport for tourists. However, when riding a bike during the rainy season, riders face the danger of falling on slippery roads. This can happen for various reasons, such as spilled oil on the road. Other common causes are improper handling of the bike, lack of riding experience, and lack of protective gear.

Spilled oil on the road can be especially dangerous during Phuket’s rainy season. When it rains, the oil mixes with water, which increases slip on the road and makes it difficult to control the bike. The bike can slip and become unstable, which increases the risk of falling.

In addition, Phuket’s roads have many twists and turns and hilly passes. When it rains, visibility can be severely limited, making riding a motorcycle difficult and increasing the risk of falls.

Therefore, if you are planning a trip to Phuket during the rainy season, it is recommended that you consider renting a car.

Compare prices

The cost of an annual car rental contract in Phuket is approximately 10,000 baht per month. The total cost of an annual contract will cost you approximately 120,000 baht and a security deposit of approximately 5,000 baht. And the cost of buying an average 2017-2020 car in Phuket can be around 360,000 – 380,000 baht.

Purchase Benefits

Firstly, you can freely travel throughout Thailand and live on any island of the kingdom (Koh SAMUI, Koh Phangan) or any province (CHANG MAI, CHANG RAI, Hua Hin), not limited to the rental contract.

Most car rental companies in Phuket prohibit their customers from traveling all over Thailand or even leaving the island by car. This is because many of these companies have a limited fleet and do not want to risk losing their vehicles to be stolen, crashed or damaged during the trip.

Secondly, when buying a car, you can choose the model and equipment that best suits you and your needs.

What is the benefit?

Buying a car can be beneficial to you in the long run if you plan to use it for 1-2 years. You can easily sell a car, especially if the car is in good condition and has all the necessary documents. Or transfer to the management of a car rental company and receive a certain percentage.

Before buying and selling a car, you need to make sure that you understand all the procedures and requirements, including the need to remove taxes and transfer documents to the new owner.

Сообщение Buying a car in Phuket. Why is this a profitable solution for tourists who have come for a long time? появились сначала на Orange Car Phuket.

1. Passport of a foreigner with a valid long-term visa allowing stay in Thailand for the duration of the loan. If you do not have a valid visa, you must obtain one before applying for a loan.
2. Work visa or work permit in Thailand (if a foreigner works in Thailand). If you are working in Thailand, you will need to provide the bank with your work visa or work permit.
3. An income statement for the last 6 months from a bank in Thailand.

The amount of funds required in a foreigner’s account to obtain a car loan in Thailand may vary depending on the requirements of a particular bank, as well as the value of the car you plan to purchase.

In addition, banks may require the foreign borrower to have a regular source of income such as a salary or other type of stable income.

It is also worth considering that interest rates on car loans for foreigners can be higher than for local residents. This is because banks view foreign borrowers as riskier than locals. However, if you have a sufficient down payment and a good credit history, you may be able to get better loan terms.

In general, obtaining a car loan for a foreigner in Thailand can be quite difficult, but not impossible. If you prepare in advance and provide all the necessary documents, then you have a good chance of success!
