Both modes of transport have almost the same fare, which is quite high. The price will depend on the route, as well as the distance to the destination point. Almost all the cars are equipped with taximeters but it does not prevent the drivers from uprating the price. They can intentionally drive along the same places in circles. It is better to negotiate the fare in advance to avoid the deceit. Also, do not forget to haggle with a driver.

The average rate on the island is as follows: 1 km of the trip will cost you 0,6-0,9 dollars, and a minimum fare will be about 6 dollars. The price for a trip is negotiated per car, not per passenger. If you choose a car rather than a moto-rickshaw, you will be able to get some luggage with you.

Phuket International Airport is located about in 40 minutes from the beach. It will cost you 20 dollars to get there from Bang Tao by taxi, and 18-24 dollars to get to the city itself. If you need to get to Ao Sane Beach, the driver will charge you 9-12 dollars for a trip.

The taxi drivers usually offer a fixed price for the trip like that and ask to pay the gas mileage, which is often costly for a client.
