Why the Honda PCX 160?

The Step Up From The Click

The Honda PCX 160 is the scooter riders pick when they have outgrown the Click but do not want to move to a motorcycle. It is a premium feeling 160 for 250 to 400 THB per day - a small surcharge over the entry tier that buys a wider seat, a flat floor, a 30 litre under-seat box that swallows a full-face helmet and a rain jacket, and a windscreen that actually cuts the 100 km per hour wind.

Range, Brakes, And Wet-Road Margin

On a Bangkok expressway ramp or a coastal sweep out of Phuket, the windscreen earns its keep. The 8.1 litre tank stretches past 300 km, so you stop planning fuel stops and start planning lunch stops instead. Front and rear ABS with Honda Selectable Torque Control give real margin on a sudden Phuket downpour, when a Click owner would be tip-toeing through the same corner. The brakes and the rain weather are where the price premium quietly pays itself back.

Two-Up Comfort And Quiet Luxuries

Two adults fit without the passenger hanging off the back, which is the real tell when couples are choosing between the Click and the PCX. The 764 mm seat keeps the bike accessible for shorter riders, and the Smart Key is the quiet luxury of never fishing a key out of a wet pocket at a soaked beach car park. It is the premium commuter, not the basic one - the scooter you graduate to once you know what you actually want.

Sukhumvit-To-Silom Expressway Ramps

Bangkok is where the PCX 160 earns its step-up price. Longer daily distances - Sukhumvit to Silom, a Saturday night out in Thonglor, an airport run down Rama II - add up, and the PCX delivers them with front and rear ABS on wet expressway ramps where a Click would be tip-toeing.

Cross-City Expat Monsoon Commuter

The flat floor holds a laptop bag, the 30 litre box takes a full-face helmet for two-up, and the windscreen makes 90 km per hour on the elevated expressway feel like 60. Expats commuting cross-city pick it over the Click when the commute stops being short and monsoon season starts.

Every Rental Includes

  • Helmet included

    A DOT-style helmet in your size is handed over on delivery - no separate rental fee, no surprise charge.

  • Third-party insurance

    Mandatory Thai third-party cover is bundled in the daily price, not sold as an add-on at the shop. See our insurance guide.

  • City-wide delivery

    City-wide delivery to your hotel, condo, or accommodation - nothing to collect from the shop.

  • Photo damage report

    Delivery and return are photo-documented so you are never charged for scratches that were already there.

  • 24/7 English support

    Open a support ticket any time - English-speaking humans respond fast for breakdowns, extensions, or police-stop questions.

  • Card deposit, no passport

    A refundable card hold replaces the passport deposit - your ID stays with you the whole rental. Learn about deposit protection.

Collision Damage Waiver is optional on scooters. The full daily price you see on each model card already covers the bike, helmet, and third-party insurance - there is nothing added on delivery.

Common questions about the Honda PCX 160

  • Do I need an IDP to rent the Honda PCX 160?
    Yes. The PCX 160 is over 125 cc, so an IDP with motorcycle endorsement plus your home-country license is mandatory under Thai law and required for your insurance to remain valid. Both documents are uploaded and verified in the Thai Bike app before the bike is released to you.
  • What's the difference between the PCX 160 and the Click 160 for couples?
    Both cost 250-400 THB per day for the PCX (versus 200-300 THB for the Click), but the PCX adds a flat floor, a wider two-up seat, a 30-litre under-seat box (fits a full-face helmet plus a rain jacket), a small windscreen, and Honda Selectable Torque Control. Couples doing 50 km-plus daily trips notice the difference within the first hour - the Click is solo-first, the PCX is the couples-first scooter at the same tier.
  • How much fuel does the PCX 160 use and how far is the range?
    The 8.1-litre tank delivers around 320-360 km on mixed riding, with real-world consumption near 2.3-2.5 L/100 km. That's a full Bangkok-to-Pattaya round trip on one tank, or two days of commuting in Phuket without refuelling.
  • Is insurance included and what does it actually cover?
    Mandatory Por Ror Bor third-party liability is included in the daily rate - that covers injuries to third parties at statutory limits (around 80,000 THB medical, 300,000 THB death/disability). Damage to the rental bike itself is excluded by default; we offer optional Collision Damage Waiver tiers that cap your liability at 2,000, 5,000, or 10,000 THB. Your travel insurance may add further medical cover for you - check the policy wording before relying on it.
  • What gear is included with a PCX 160 rental?
    Two DOT-rated full-face or open-face helmets (you choose on delivery), a wheel disc lock, a phone mount, and a USB-C cable that plugs into the bike's onboard charger. Rain jackets are available on request at no extra charge during monsoon season (May-October). No passport is held at any stage.

Other Scooters in Bangkok

  • Honda Scoopy scooter for rent in Bangkok

    Honda Scoopy

    110cc · Automatic

    The Honda Scoopy is the lightest, cheapest, lowest-to-the-ground scooter on the platform - the one to pick if you're 155 cm tall, if this is your first scooter anywhere, or if you just want a retro-looking runabout for island beach hops. At 93 kg it's easier to push out of a sandy hotel driveway than anything else in the lineup, the 746 mm seat gives flat feet to most riders, and the 110 cc single is docile enough that a nervous rider won't accidentally over-accelerate. CBS (not ABS) links the brakes to prevent the front from locking first, which covers the most common beginner mistake. Idling stop kills the engine at red lights so you never stall. At 150-200 THB per day it's also the lowest entry cost in Thailand - the default pick on Koh Samui and Koh Phangan.

  • Yamaha Filano scooter for rent in Bangkok

    Yamaha Filano

    125cc · Automatic

    The Yamaha Filano is the style pick in the scooter lineup - a modern-retro 125 that looks at home parked outside a Phuket beach cafe or a Koh Samui boutique. Past the styling, it's a practical daily: the 125 cc Blue Core engine has more pull than a Scoopy for mild coastal hills, the Smart Motor Generator makes starts almost silent (no more waking up the hotel), and stop-start kills idle at red lights. The wide flat seat handles two-up better than most 125s, and at 96 kg it's close to Scoopy-light for parking in sandy lots. Front ABS is standard on the Connected trim Thai Bike stocks, and UBS links front and rear for balanced stops. 150-250 THB per day puts it above a Scoopy and well below an NMAX, which matches its role: better-looking commuter, not more-powerful one.

  • Honda Click 160 scooter for rent in Bangkok

    Honda Click 160

    160cc · Automatic

    The Honda Click 160 is Thailand's default rental scooter - the baseline you'll find at every shop in every city on the platform. At 200-300 THB per day it replaces 500-1,500 THB in daily taxis or Grab, so first-time riders get unlimited mobility without rebudgeting the trip. The fully automatic CVT, 780 mm seat height, and 118 kg wet weight make it forgiving for anyone who has never ridden before: no clutch, both feet flat at stops, easy to push around a narrow soi. Under-seat storage holds 18 litres (a day bag fits), the USB port keeps your phone charged while it runs navigation, and a 5.5 litre tank covers 200+ km between fills. Front ABS is standard on the 2022+ generation, which matters on wet monsoon roads.

  • Yamaha NMAX 155 scooter for rent in Bangkok

    Yamaha NMAX 155

    155cc · Automatic

    The Yamaha NMAX 155 is the sport-scooter step up from the Click/PCX crowd - the scooter riders pick when they want something that feels like a motorcycle but rides like a twist-and-go. Yamaha's VVA (Variable Valve Actuation) delivers low-rev torque in traffic and extra top-end when you open it up on a coast road, so one engine covers the soi and the 100 km/h expressway without feeling thrashed. Dual ABS and traction control are real safety hardware - not marketing - and they matter most on wet Phuket hairpins. The 25-litre box swallows a full-face plus a day bag, the 7.1-litre tank stretches past 250 km, and the 765 mm seat still suits most riders. At 250-400 THB per day it's the enthusiast's daily: sportier than a PCX, lighter than an XMAX.

  • Honda ADV 160 scooter for rent in Bangkok

    Honda ADV 160

    157cc · Automatic

    The Honda ADV 160 is the scooter for riders who want to leave the main road without learning a clutch. 130 mm of front suspension travel and larger 14-inch front / 13-inch rear wheels handle the potholes, broken tarmac, and unsealed shortcuts you'll find on Chiang Mai's Samoeng loop, Phuket's back roads to Kata, or the interior tracks on Koh Samui. Honda kept the automatic CVT and 780 mm seat height of a normal city scooter, so there's no new skill to acquire - just more capability when the pavement ends. Front ABS, knuckle guards, and a tall windscreen add genuine all-weather composure. 30 litres under the seat takes a day pack and rain jacket; the 8.1-litre tank stretches past 300 km. At 300-500 THB per day it's priced between a Click and a real adventure bike - and bridges exactly that gap.

  • Yamaha XMAX 300 scooter for rent in Bangkok

    Yamaha XMAX 300

    300cc · Automatic

    The Yamaha XMAX 300 is where the scooter category crosses into motorcycle territory. The 300cc Blue Core engine pulls past 120 km/h with a passenger and luggage, the adjustable windscreen cuts highway wind on a 200 km inter-city run, and the 45-litre box swallows two full-face helmets or real weekend luggage. Dual ABS and traction control are not optional badges here - they are the reason experienced riders pick the XMAX over a 155cc when they're doing Bangkok-Pattaya, Phuket-Krabi, or Chiang Mai day loops. At 179 kg it's heavier than a Click, but the 795 mm seat stays manageable and there's still no clutch to learn. The 500-800 THB daily rate reflects the class - this is a maxi-scooter, priced between sport scooters and full-size bikes.
