Car rental in Hua Hin - features, prices and rentals
The public transportation system in Hua Hin, and in Southeast Asia as a whole, is not well developed. While the intercity services are smooth - buses and trains run on schedule - the intra-city transportation is chaotic.
Public transport in Hua Hin is represented by: shuttle buses, motorcycle cabs, private cabs (tuk-tuks), which for the urban European may seem like an extreme mode of transport.
The motorcycles win due to the individual approach, but leave much to be desired in terms of safety. Private tuk-tuks are the most comfortable, but also the most expensive way to get around: depending on the time of day and destination, the cost is up to 300 baht.
Renting a budget car for a day will cost 700-1300 baht, ie, the cost is similar to 4 trips on a tuk-tuk. Based on the degree of convenience and financial benefits, the ideal option for a mobile and educational vacation in Hua Hin will be car rental.
