Getting Around koh lanta Island guide by Rent A Car Koh Lanta and explore the beauty of the island at your own pace. Whether you prefer a motorbike, car, or taxi, Koh Lanta offers convenient transportation options for every traveler. This guide outlines everything you need to know to get around safely and efficiently.
Motorbike Rental
Motorbikes are a budget-friendly and fun way to explore the island. Daily rental rates typically range from ฿250 – ฿300 for 24 hours, and bikes are available in every village.
Please Ride Responsibly
- Always wear a helmet — it’s for your protection and required by law.
- Drive cautiously, especially in wet conditions or at night.
- Thailand’s roads can be unpredictable — drive defensively.
Important:
Without a valid motorbike license, your travel insurance may not cover you in the event of an accident. Medical costs in Thailand can be high, so always verify your coverage.
Motorbike Rental Reminders
- No insurance is included with bike rentals — you are fully liable for all damage.
- Renting an older bike with a few scratches is often safer than renting a brand-new one.
- Never leave keys in the ignition when unattended.
- Motorbike rental is strictly for on-island use only. Taking a motorbike off Koh Lanta means no roadside service or support, and you will be fully responsible for any issues.
Flat Tire Costs
- ฿50 – ฿100 for a regular patch.
- ฿250 – ฿500 if the rubber tire needs replacing.
