About the Honda City

The Honda City is the roomiest and best-equipped mainstream sedan we rent. Its 1.0-litre three-cylinder turbo produces more torque than the naturally aspirated 1.5-litre engines it competes with, and delivers it lower down, which suits stop-start island driving well. The back seat is the most spacious in this class by a clear margin, and the standard equipment list runs to Apple CarPlay, cruise control and keyless entry.

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 Honda City

Who the Honda City suits

Four adults who will actually be sitting in the back for more than ten minutes at a time. Families with teenagers, groups of friends splitting one car, and anyone who wants smartphone integration and a modern cabin without moving up to a crossover.

The Honda City on Koh Samui roads

The turbo engine is a genuine advantage on Samui's short, sharp hill climbs - the torque arrives at low revs, so the car pulls up gradients without the CVT hunting the way naturally aspirated rivals do. Worth knowing: the City takes 95-octane petrol like everything else here, and small turbo engines are more sensitive to fuel quality, so use the main PTT and Bangchak stations on the ring road rather than roadside drum sellers.

Honda City rental - frequently asked questions

Is a 1.0-litre engine too small for the Honda City?

No. It is turbocharged, which means it produces roughly the same power as a 1.5-litre naturally aspirated engine and more pulling power at low speed. On Koh Samui, where you are constantly accelerating away from junctions and up short climbs, it feels stronger than the numbers suggest.

Does the Honda City have Apple CarPlay?

Yes, and Android Auto. It is one of the few cars at this price point in our fleet with full smartphone mirroring, which is useful given how much of Samui navigation happens on Google Maps.

How many people fit comfortably in a Honda City?

Four adults comfortably, five at a squeeze for short trips. The rear legroom is the best in its class, which is the main reason to pick it over a Vios or Yaris Ativ.
