About the Suzuki Swift

The Suzuki Swift is the lightest car in our fleet at under a tonne, and that is its defining characteristic. A small engine in a light car feels considerably livelier than the same engine in a heavier one, and it means the Swift returns excellent fuel economy without feeling underpowered around town. It is the joint-cheapest car we rent alongside the Toyota Yaris.

What is included

Comprehensive first-class insurance with Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) is included with every rental - there is no separate insurance upsell at handover.
Minimum rental period is 3 days.
A refundable security deposit of ฿3,000 covers the insurance excess. It is returned in full if it is not used.
Delivery and collection anywhere on Koh Samui - your hotel, villa or the airport - are included in the rate.

Any minor damage is deducted from the deposit and the balance returned. We photograph every panel, the interior, the fuel or charge level and the odometer at handover, and you get those timestamped photos with your digital contract - so there is a record to compare against rather than an argument.

Book the Suzuki Swift

Who the Suzuki Swift suits

Solo travellers and couples on the tightest budget, and anyone who will be spending most of their time in the beach towns rather than crossing the island. Two adults with luggage is the comfortable maximum.

The Suzuki Swift on Koh Samui roads

The Swift is the easiest car we rent to place in a gap. Narrow body, short overhangs, light steering and the tightest turning circle in the fleet - in the improvised parking that passes for normal in Chaweng and Lamai, that is worth real time every day. On the ring road it is more affected by crosswinds and heavy vehicle wash than the heavier cars, and four adults up a hill is where the low weight advantage disappears.

Suzuki Swift rental - frequently asked questions

Suzuki Swift or Toyota Yaris - which should I rent?

They cost the same and do the same job. The Swift is lighter and easier to park; the Yaris has slightly more rear space and the wider service network on the island. Either is a sound cheapest-option choice.

Is the Suzuki Swift safe on Koh Samui roads?

Yes - it has the standard airbag and ABS package and a reversing camera. Being a light car it is more affected by wind and passing trucks on the open ring road than heavier vehicles, which is worth knowing rather than worrying about.

What is the cheapest car to rent on Koh Samui?

The Suzuki Swift and Toyota Yaris are our joint cheapest at ฿700 a day in low season, with a three-day minimum rental and a ฿3,000 refundable deposit.
