Collecting a Car at Krabi Airport
Krabi Airport (KBV) serves the Andaman coast of southern Thailand and handles both domestic and international flights. The airport sits inland from popular destinations like Ao Nang and the coast, making it a practical starting point for travelers planning to explore the region by road.
When you book airport pickup, the rental company will arrange to meet you after you land, or direct you to their counter or office depending on the supplier. Your voucher will contain specific instructions including any meeting point, contact number, or office location. Pickup arrangements vary by company, so it is important to read the voucher before you travel and confirm how collection works for your booking.
Airport collection differs from town or hotel pickup because you arrive with luggage immediately after a flight, often at a specific time, and need clear instructions to locate the supplier. In the search form above, select "Specify location" and choose Krabi Airport to see available cars with airport pickup. Krabi Airport, Krabi town, and Ao Nang are separate pickup locations on this website, and the search results will show which companies serve each one.
From Landing to Driving Away
The collection process at Krabi Airport follows a clear sequence once your flight arrives and you have cleared immigration and baggage reclaim.
After your flight arrives, clear immigration and collect your luggage from the baggage hall. Keep your phone accessible to check any messages from the rental company if there are updates.
Your voucher will tell you where to meet the supplier or which counter to visit. Some companies have a desk inside the terminal, others will meet you outside or arrange a short transfer to a nearby office. Check the voucher before you exit the terminal building.
Present your driving licence, passport, and payment card. The rental company will complete the paperwork, explain the vehicle condition, fuel policy, and any charges for optional extras. Read the contract and note the emergency contact number.
Walk around the car with the supplier and photograph any existing marks or damage. Check the fuel level, confirm the return procedure, and set your navigation before you leave the airport area. Thailand has left-hand traffic.
Where to Drive from Krabi Airport
Krabi Airport connects to coastal towns, beaches, and inland routes across the Andaman region. Major roads are paved and signposted in Thai and English.
Ao Nang
Ao Nang is a popular beach area west of the airport. Use current navigation to plan the route and check parking signs or accommodation rules before arrival.
Krabi Town
Krabi Town is a city destination separate from the airport. Confirm your accommodation address and plan the route with current navigation. Ask your accommodation about permitted parking.

Airport Pickup: Do and Don't
Follow these practical steps to make airport collection run smoothly and avoid common mistakes that can cause delays or extra charges.
Do
- Save your voucher offline and keep the supplier contact number accessible in case your flight is delayed or you cannot find the meeting point.
- Photograph the car from all angles before you drive away, including the fuel gauge, odometer, and any existing scratches or dents.
- Confirm the return procedure and location at the time of pickup so you know where to bring the car back and how much time to allow.
- Check the fuel policy in the contract and note whether you must return the car with a full tank or pay for the fuel used.
- Add the emergency contact number from the rental agreement to your phone and test that your phone works in Thailand before you drive away.
Don't
- Leave the airport area without inspecting the car and signing the condition report, because you will be responsible for any damage noted at return.
- Assume the rental company has a desk inside the terminal; some suppliers meet clients outside or provide a transfer to a nearby office.
- Drive away without confirming whether your contract permits ferry transport if you plan to visit Koh Lanta or other islands.
- Return the car late without notifying the supplier, as rental contracts charge by the day and late return may incur additional fees.
- Ignore the fuel level at pickup; if the contract requires a full tank at return, refuel at a petrol station near the airport before you drop off.

What documents do I need to collect the car?
You will need a valid driving licence, your passport, and the payment card used for the online advance or another card accepted by the supplier. The rental company will check these documents and ask you to sign the rental agreement. Some suppliers also require an international driving permit depending on your licence country, so check the booking conditions and your voucher.
Can I drive from Krabi Airport to Koh Lanta?
Reaching Koh Lanta by road requires a vehicle ferry crossing from the mainland. Not all rental agreements permit ferry transport, so you must check the allowed rental area and any ferry permission with the supplier before you book. The terms will be shown in the listing and confirmed in your voucher. Do not take the car onto a ferry unless your contract explicitly allows it.
