Choose a motorbike rental in Krabi through Rentbox from 300 THB per day. Compare the model, daily rate, refundable deposit and delivery terms before sending a booking request. Every listed rental includes two helmets and a phone holder.
Krabi is spread across several distinct areas. Ao Nang and Nopparat Thara have busy hotel and restaurant streets, Krabi Town is roughly a half-hour ride inland, and the coastal road continues north toward Klong Muang and Tubkaek. Choose a scooter for the distances you will actually cover, not only for engine size or appearance.
Motorbike rental prices in Krabi
Typical listed daily rates are:
| Motorbike class | From / day | A sensible match for |
|---|---|---|
| 125–160cc automatic | 300–550 THB | Ao Nang, Nopparat Thara and shorter paved trips |
| 300–350cc scooter | 900–990 THB | Two riders and regular journeys to Krabi Town or Tubkaek |
| 560–750cc motorbike | 1,990–2,000 THB | Highly experienced riders planning longer mainland routes |
The final price depends on the model and rental period. Weekly and monthly bookings may reduce the average daily rate. Availability, the full total and any delivery charge are confirmed before booking.
For short local journeys, compare the Honda Click 125 with the roomier Honda PCX 160. Experienced riders travelling two-up between several coastal areas can consider the Yamaha X-MAX 350.
Delivery in Ao Nang and Krabi Town
Free delivery is available on qualifying rentals of at least 3 days to agreed hotels and addresses in Ao Nang, Krabi Town and Klong Muang. Delivery to Tubkaek and other parts of the province can be arranged; ask for confirmation of the handover point and any additional fee before payment.
Send the full hotel name, address and a usable contact number. Similar resort names and properties with entrances on different roads are common, so a precise location helps avoid delays.
Which scooter works best in Krabi?
A 125–160cc automatic is the practical choice for an experienced rider staying around Ao Nang. It is easy to park, economical and sufficient for paved trips to Nopparat Thara, local restaurants and nearby hotels. A 160cc model provides a little more room for a passenger without becoming difficult to handle at low speed.
A 300–350cc maxi scooter offers a broader seat and greater stability for two people making regular journeys to Krabi Town, Klong Muang or Tubkaek. It is also heavier in resort car parks and unnecessary if most trips remain within Ao Nang.
Models above 500cc are intended only for riders already familiar with comparable weight and power. Krabi's attractive scenery does not make an unfamiliar large motorbike safer or easier to control.
What riding around Krabi is like
Traffic around Ao Nang becomes busier near beaches, evening markets and long-tail boat departure points. Outside the main resort area, roads can be darker at night and distances are longer than they appear on a map. Tropical rain can arrive quickly, leaving painted markings and smooth surfaces slippery.
Watch for sand and gravel near beach entrances, allow extra braking distance after rain and slow down before unfamiliar bends. Do not ride after drinking or use Krabi as a place to learn. Taxis, songthaews and private transfers are the safer choice for visitors without motorcycle experience.
Licence, deposit and handover checks
To ride legally in Thailand, carry a valid motorcycle licence and an International Driving Permit with the motorcycle endorsement. A car-only licence does not cover scooters or motorbikes. Both rider and passenger must wear a helmet.
Listed Krabi rentals require a passport copy and a refundable cash deposit, generally 5,000–10,000 THB depending on the model. You keep your original passport unless an individual offer clearly states another security procedure.
At handover, inspect the tyres, brakes, lights, mirrors and fuel level. Record a short walk-around video, note any existing marks and confirm the collection time and deposit return process.
