I Use Phuket Car Rent just out side the airport over the road from the 7-11, Phuket Car Rent - Cars, Van, Truck Rentals, Travel Services Phuket Thailand good prices. Nice cars. 2.5Hrs to Krabi, one of the nicest drives anywhere in the world actully, throught limestone cliffs.
DON'T USE THE BLUE & ORANGE BUSES!
Last trip we saw the orange and blue busses RACING each other to Krabi, very dangerous, and then saw them up the road later crashed.

Not sure on car prices, I usually hire a CRV (4x4) off them for about B1300-B1400 a day. You can usually bargin the price with car places for a longer hire, of course.

Okay, at least the price I payed is allright. Just asking because 2 weeks ago my wife's nephew organized a "rental" car for me. It got delivered at the Hotel and we went off up-country. 4 days later back in Pat's his friend showed up to pick up his car. We payed 1300 Baht per day. It hit me like a bomb that I actually paid for someone's private car. I was under the impression it was a rental.
I know the Thais all stick together and help each other out as much as possible, providing business to eachother, that's absolutely okay. I just wondered afterwards what would have happened if I had an accident along the way ?
Sometimes my brains not working fast enough, especially not when being in LOS.
