Is riding a motorbike in Phuket something for me?

  • Phuket Scooter Rental find that riding a scooter or motorbike in Phuket is the best way to discover,  get around the island. Having one of our scooters will save you many hours of travel time between A to B, leaving you with extra time to enjoy Phuket beaches and a lot more. You might also be saving money by not paying for expensive public transportation, taxi’s tuk-tuks. No more waiting in a taxi watching the meter shoot up as pedestrians walk by your idling taxi. You can navigate yourself and really enjoy the beautiful views, beaches etc… to see Phuket at your pace.
  • Just realize yourself, when joying the Phuket traffic, it’s not the same as the traffic at home! In Patong and Phuket Town, much more crazy and hectic.
  • Phuket Scooter Rental believe that riding a scooter in Phuket is very safe, as long as you pay attention to what is going on around you. There are risks involved in driving a scooter in every city in the world. Phuket is no exception. Please be safe when you are operating your rental scooter. You should always wear your helmet at all times, regardless of how safe you feel without one. You will see on the street, many tourists and Thai don’t wear a helmet. Frankly, you may lose an arm, you may lose a leg, you still have another arm or leg. But losing your head…..it’s game over! 
  • Let’s say like this, if you don’t have motorbike experience from home, forget it. That simple.
