Koh Samui – Phuket
🌴 Hakuna Rent — Island-to-Island Rentals
Hakuna Rent has been operating in Thailand since 2012 and has its own fleet:
🚘 Over 50 cars and 150 motorbikes in Phuket (a branch opened in 2025 — brand new vehicles)
🏝️ Over 60 cars and 100 motorbikes in Koh Samui
🔁 Rentals between Phuket and Koh Samui
Now you can:
➡️ Rent a car in Phuket and return it in Koh Samui
⬅️ Or vice versa — pick up a car in Koh Samui and return it in Phuket
This is convenient and affordable, especially during the high season when flights between the islands are limited.
✈️ One-way flights from Phuket to Koh Samui start at 3,500 baht per person, but tickets often sell out several days in advance. A small propeller plane flies between the islands, making only a few flights per day.
💰 Let's calculate the benefits
1️⃣ The standard price of the service "one way rental": 5,000 baht.
However, Hakuna Rent regularly runs discounts, including completely waiving this fee for certain car models.
Check with operators for current terms!
2️⃣ The distance from Phuket's beaches to Donsak Pier is approximately 300 km (4-5 hours).
The average fuel consumption of a Toyota Yaris Ativ is 5-6 L/100 km, while gasoline costs 32-35 baht/L.
👉 You'll spend approximately 500-600 baht on fuel.
3️⃣ Ferry to Koh Samui:
⛴️ ~ 500 baht per car and driver
👥 ~ 150 baht per passenger
⏰ Travel time: 1.5–2 hours, ferries depart hourly from early morning until evening (the last one departs around 7:00 PM).
Two companies operate this route: Seatran Ferry and Raja Ferry, with their piers located nearby.
🎫 Tickets (including car seat reservations) can be purchased directly on their official websites.
🌅 Bottom Line
If you're traveling with two people, you're already a winner: the travel costs will be less than the cost of two plane tickets,
and during high season, it's also the only reliable way to get to Koh Samui.
🚗 If you're traveling with a group, the benefits become obvious!
And as a gift - a sunset over the sea right from the ferry.
