In 2024, renting a compact car on Koh Phangan costs €22-€28 per day for a 3-day minimum (including insurance), saving 75 minutes daily versus tuk-tuks for groups of 3+ exploring beyond Baan Tai. I learned this after getting stuck walking 2km to a beach when my tuk-tuk driver took a detour to collect his 50% commission.
