Is My Rental Car Safe While I'm on Phi Phi Island?
This is the most common question we hear from travelers driving rental cars. The good news is: Yes, it is highly secure. The overnight parking lot at Rassada Pier operates as a gated facility. It is monitored by 24/7 security personnel and equipped with CCTV cameras around the main areas. You can comfortably enjoy your snorkeling trip or beach party on Koh Phi Phi knowing your vehicle is in a safe zone.
💡 Pro Tip: While the parking lot is secure, it is a basic travel rule to never leave visible valuables (like laptops, passports, or thick wallets) on your car seats. Lock them in the trunk or take them with you.
3 Essential Tips Before You Park & Board
To make your morning departure completely stress-free, keep these quick tips in mind:
- Arrive Early: During high season (November to April), the parking lot can fill up quickly. Arrive at least 45 to 60 minutes before your ferry or speedboat departure time to find a good spot and check in without rushing.
- Snap a Photo: The parking area is large. Take a quick photo of your parking bay number or surrounding landmarks so you can easily locate your car when you return exhausted (but happy) from the islands.
- Keep Your Ticket Safe: Put your parking slip in a safe, dry place inside your wallet or travel bag. You will need it to exit the lot and calculate your final fee upon your return.

Once your car is safely parked, the check-in counters are just a short walk away. If you haven't secured your tickets yet, we highly recommend booking in advance, especially for ferries and speedboats, which tend to sell out quickly during peak hours, even in the low season.
