Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to rent a motorbike in Karon?
Daily rates in Karon start from ฿280 per day for a small automatic scooter (Honda Click, Yamaha Mio). Bigger bikes (PCX, NMAX, ADV) cost more. Longer rentals usually unlock weekly and monthly discounts directly with the shop.
Do I need an international driving permit in Karon?
Thai law requires either a Thai motorbike licence or an international driving permit (IDP) with the motorcycle endorsement. Police checkpoints in Karon can fine riders without one. Bring your home country licence too.
Is a deposit required when I book?
No online deposit. ThaiRide does not hold a deposit on your card at booking time. You pay the deposit in cash directly to the shop when you pick up the bike, and it is fully refunded when you return the bike in the same condition.
Do I have to leave my passport as a deposit?
No. ThaiRide shops accept a cash deposit instead of holding your passport. We never recommend handing over your original passport — keep it with you at all times.
Can the bike be delivered to my hotel in Karon?
Most shops in Karon offer free delivery within a few kilometres, and paid delivery further out. Add a note to your booking request with your hotel name, and the owner will confirm delivery before you arrive.
What happens if I need to cancel?
Cancellation is free until the owner confirms your booking. After confirmation, cancellation rules depend on the shop, but most allow free cancellation up to 24–48 hours before pick-up.
