Cheap car rental in Phuket Thailand?

call me crazy but I don't know anyone who rents a car in Phuket. Most visitors only remain in PHUKET TOWN long enough to jump on a beach-bound songthaew, which run regularly throughout the day from Thanon Ranong in the town centre to all the main beaches You are not going to be using your rented car all that much and for $700 I can think of a lot better things to do with the money. If you just use a taxi you will save big bucks and have a tour guide thrown in. But... even that is unnecessary. The local boys will be happy to take you anywhere you want to go for minimium $$$ Don't rent till you get there and check it out. I think that you will find that you don't need the car.
