About the Isuzu MU-X

The Isuzu MU-X is the quietest and most comfortable of the diesel seven-seaters we rent. Its 3.0-litre turbodiesel is the largest engine in the group and barely works at island speeds, which is why the cabin stays so hushed. Isuzu also puts more sound deadening into the MU-X than the class norm. Third-row space is genuinely adult-sized.

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 ฿7,000 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 Isuzu MU-X

Who the Isuzu MU-X suits

Larger groups doing longer drives, families taking the vehicle ferry to the mainland, and anyone prioritising cabin comfort in a seven-seater. If you have six or seven people and any intention of leaving the island, this is a strong choice.

The Isuzu MU-X on Koh Samui roads

The big engine matters most on the mainland run. Loaded with seven people and luggage, the ferry crossing to Don Sak and the two-hour drive on to Khao Sok is where a 3.0-litre diesel stops being excessive and starts being relaxing. On the island itself, the same qualities make the hill climbs effortless and quiet. As with every large SUV here, the beach towns are where you pay for the size.

Isuzu MU-X rental - frequently asked questions

Is the Isuzu MU-X good for the Khao Sok trip from Koh Samui?

It is one of the best vehicles we rent for it. The 3.0-litre diesel is unstressed on the mainland highways, the third row seats adults, and the ride is comfortable over the full two-hour drive from Don Sak. Tell us at booking so the paperwork covers mainland travel.

How does the MU-X compare with the Toyota Fortuner?

The MU-X is quieter, has a bigger engine and a slightly more comfortable third row. The Fortuner has the wider service network. Rates are similar; the MU-X is the better long-distance vehicle, the Fortuner the safer bet if something needs fixing.

Does the MU-X use a lot of diesel?

Around 8 litres per 100 km in mixed island driving despite the 3.0-litre engine, helped by the fact that it never has to work hard. Diesel is also cheaper per litre than 95-octane petrol in Thailand.
