James Rental Samui

ABS-equipped options are available; confirm the motorcycle allocated to your rental.

Describe your planned routes and access needs when booking so staff can suggest a suitable vehicle. Basic handling explanations are available at pickup if needed.

Mileage is unlimited, but the vehicle must stay on Koh Samui. Ferry trips to the mainland, Koh Phangan and Koh Tao are prohibited.

Bring your original passport for identification. The agency keeps a copy of the passport and Thailand entry stamp, or photographs those pages if you have no copies.

Present your original passport and driving licence at handover. For motorcycle hire, confirm acceptance of your motorcycle entitlement and any international-permit requirements before booking.

A standard rental contract is prepared using your passport-matching name, nationality and Koh Samui address. A phone number is optional but recommended; ask for the full agreement terms before committing.

For availability and rental questions, call +66 84 628 7001, use WhatsApp at the same number, Messenger JJRentalSamui or the contact form. French and English service is offered.

Direct shop rentals are possible, but advertised advance-booking prices are not guaranteed for walk-ins. Reserve early for a particular vehicle or equipment and confirm availability.

Hire starts at 24 hours, with short- and long-term rentals offered. Advertised rates apply only to online or telephone pre-booking and may change without notice; confirm your price and availability.

The quoted average scooter deposit is THB 3,000, not a fixed amount for every bike. Confirm the deposit for your chosen vehicle before committing.

You keep your original passport during the hire; the agency retains copies or photos instead.

Security deposits are quoted in Thai baht or the euro equivalent. Confirm the accepted payment method and repayment currency for your scooter.

Cash and bank-card rental payments are offered; cards carry a 3% surcharge. Rent can be paid in baht or euros, with euro conversion calculated at the rate when the contract is signed.

Selected bikes have reduced daily rates from seven days; the N-Max 2022 threshold is ten days. T-Max, ADV 350, CRF 300 and ADV 150 discounts require a quote for at least ten days. Advertised prices require online or telephone pre-booking.

Vehicles are cleaned before delivery, with attention to tyres and brakes during preparation. Regular in-house maintenance is advertised.

Photograph or film the motorcycle at pickup to record existing damage and help resolve later disputes.

Puncture repair and tyre-replacement costs are the renter’s responsibility; larger or special tyres may cost more.

Government insurance is included for short- and long-term motorbike rentals. The stated cover concerns bodily injury and civil liability, excludes property damage, and is not comprehensive motorcycle insurance.

One helmet per person is included free with scooter hire. Try the available helmets for fit; a new or recently replaced helmet is not guaranteed.

For breakdown assistance, call +66 84 628 7001 at any time, 24/7.

After a breakdown, an at-least-equivalent replacement is promised as soon as possible, depending on the problem. Confirm any charges; no fixed response time is stated.

After a scooter accident, obtain a repair estimate from the nearest garage. Puncture and tyre costs fall to the renter; the indicative tube-replacement estimate is about THB 140, with larger or special tyres costing more, not a guaranteed repair price.

Call the assistance number at any time for lost keys or a vehicle you cannot locate. The company keeps duplicate keys; confirm any replacement-key charges.

An extension can usually be arranged by phone rather than an agency visit. Agree acceptance and the additional price before keeping the bike longer.

Ask about a vehicle-type change by phone or at the agency. Acceptance and any price difference need agreement; free changes are not promised.

Rent is counted in 24-hour periods, and overrunning can trigger another rental day. Confirm the exact return deadline: the published examples are inconsistent, and no free hourly grace period is specified.

Ask for a Koh Samui map when collecting the vehicle. Staff can explain basic handling if needed; plan routes within the island-only rental area.

Pickup is at 11/35 Moo 2, Bophut, Koh Samui. Motorcycle delivery and collection across the island are free for rentals of at least three days; confirm charges for shorter hires. Airport pickup is also offered free from three rental days, with hotel and port transfers available by arrangement.

The agency opens 08:30–19:00 daily, including public holidays.

Vehicle delivery outside normal hours and early or late arrival transfers can be discussed in advance. Confirm availability, timing and any charge.

The collection fuel level is recorded in the contract; return with at least that level or pay for missing fuel. Scooters use petrol, with grade 95 preferred.
