What Should You Do After a Rental Car Accident in Thailand?
Stay calm and ensure everyone is safe. Immediately call the local police (191) and your rental car company's emergency number. Do not move the vehicle unless necessary. Take photos and exchange information with the other party, but do not admit fault. Your rental company will guide you through the next steps and the insurance claim process.

What Do I Need to Know About Refueling My Rental Car in Koh Samui?
Most rental cars at USM require a 'full-to-full' policy. Refuel before returning to avoid high fees. Gas stations are plentiful, but some may close early. Use the 'Gasohol 91' or '95' octane fuel as specified on your rental agreement. Always keep your receipt as proof of refueling.

Koh Samui Car Rental Guide

Essential driving tips and FAQ for renting and driving in Koh Samui, Thailand

Can I use my US driver's license to rent a car in Koh Samui, or do I need an International Driving Permit?
An International Driving Permit (IDP) is strongly recommended alongside your US license. Thai law doesn't fully recognize foreign licenses without an IDP translation, and rental companies typically require it. The IDP costs about $20 and can be obtained from AAA before your trip. Without it, you may face issues with police checkpoints or insurance claims if an accident occurs.
Is Koh Samui left-hand traffic or right-hand traffic? I'm from the US—will it feel strange?
Thailand uses left-hand traffic (vehicles drive on the left side of the road), while US cars have the steering wheel on the left. This takes adjustment—most rental cars in Koh Samui are right-hand drive. Watch for overtaking on the right, use marked crossings carefully, and take extra caution at roundabouts where left-turning traffic has priority.
What's the rainy season like for driving? Should I avoid自驾游 during monsoon months?
The monsoon season runs May-October, with September-October being the heaviest. Expect sudden downpours reducing visibility, flooded roads in low-lying areas, and potential landslides on mountain roads near Chaweng and Lamai. If you drive during this period, avoid steep slopes after heavy rain and consider 4WD vehicles. November-April offers dry, safer conditions.
Are there gas stations everywhere, and do I need to worry about fuel type?
Gas stations are plentiful along Samui's main环形 roads (Ring Road), with both PTT (major chain) and independent stations. All use unleaded gasoline (95 and 91 octane). Most rental cars run on 91 octane. Fill up before heading to remote beaches or the mountainous interior. Expect to pay roughly ฿35-45 per liter (about $1-1.30 USD).
What's the minimum age to rent a car in Koh Samui, and will I pay extra as a young driver?
The minimum age is typically 21 years old at most agencies, though some require 23 for larger vehicles. Drivers under 25 often pay a young driver surcharge of ฿300-500 per day (roughly $10-15 USD). Some agencies won't rent to under-21 at all. Confirm age requirements with your rental company before booking.
