If you plan on sticking to the coastal roads around popular resorts like The Passage Samui Villas & Resort or Anantara Bophut Koh Samui Resort, then a compact car may be all you need. However, if you’d like to venture inland to explore Namtok Tar Nim & Magic Garden, Wat Khunaram temple or waterfalls like Tartan Waterfall or Mountain Waterfall, then a 4X4 may be a better option. This will make the steep inland roads a lot easier. If you’ll be exploring the coast more extensively, a 4X4 will also help with sandy tracks and difficult sections of road.
In the built-up areas of Koh Samui, you may find speed limits of 40 km/h, 45 km/h or 60 km/h. You’ll probably also notice that many of the locals don’t stick to these limits. However, when you’re getting car hire in Koh Samui, it’s essential to follow all posted speed limits. Once you’re on major roads like Route 4169 or Route 4170, the speed limit can get up to 90 km/h or more. However, the condition of these roads and traffic density varies greatly, so it’s important to keep an eye out for signs and drive to the conditions.
For the most part, parking is free in Koh Samui, and since there generally aren’t any traffic wardens, people tend to park wherever they can fit in. This can make it difficult to find a parking spot in high-traffic areas, like Chaweng Noi Beach. At some of Koh Samui’s most popular attractions, like Grandfather's Grandmother's Rocks, you may have to pay a small parking fee. However, it’s rarely more than around ฿ 20 (A$ 0.85).
The average gas price in Koh Samui is ₱285.20 per gallon over the past 30 days. Filling up a gas tank costs between ₱3,422 and ₱4,563, depending on the car size.
Economy (Honda Brio or similar) is the most frequently booked rental car type in Koh Samui.

Several Koh Samui car hire companies offer one-way bookings in Thailand, including from Koh Samui. It may be helpful to compare prices and options through KAYAK before making a booking, especially if you’re wanting cheap car hire in Koh Samui.

Cons:
I don’t think this experience could have possibly been any better. The pick-up desk is immediately outside the baggage claim. The car was ready, the agent was ready, professional and super courteous. The car was exactly as advertised. Highly recommended!!!!10.0 Wonderful
