The 300cc class: Yamaha XMAX 2026, XMAX 300 and Honda Forza 300. Highways, switchbacks and long two-up days — where a city scooter runs out of breath, a maxi just goes.
APARTEL rents three maxi scooters in Phuket: the new Yamaha XMAX 2026 at 800 ฿/day (month — 15,000 ฿), and the Yamaha XMAX 300 and Honda Forza 300 at 650 ฿/day each (month — 9,000 ฿). Cash deposit 4,000–5,000 ฿ — with the cash-deposit option, the original passport stays with you; two helmets are included; the bike carries compulsory Por Ror Bor with limited statutory bodily-injury cover; delivery depends on branch and destination. A category A licence + IDP is required. Book on Telegram @apartel1 or WhatsApp +66 94 429 2029.
Two helmets, a phone holder and a rain poncho are included. The bike carries compulsory Por Ror Bor with limited statutory bodily-injury cover; it does not cover damage to the bike. Free delivery applies in the selected branch's local area; other areas are available by arrangement.
The flagship: 292 cc, ABS + traction control, windshield, 45 L under the seat
Same platform, a third cheaper — the proven two-up maxi
Premium 300-class comfort at a mid-class price
The lighter alternative: a 160 cc crossover that handles every hill
Daily price shown for 1–3 day rentals. Two helmets, a phone holder and a rain poncho are included. The bike carries compulsory Por Ror Bor with limited statutory bodily-injury cover; it does not cover damage to the bike. The last row is the ADV160 crossover for riders who don't need 300cc.
| Model | Class | Per day (1–3 days) | Month | Deposit |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Yamaha XMAX 2026 | maxi · 292 cc | 800 ฿ | 15,000 ฿ | from 5,000 ฿ |
| Yamaha XMAX 300 (2020) | maxi · 292 cc | 650 ฿ | 9,000 ฿ | from 4,000 ฿ |
| Honda Forza 300 | maxi · 300 class | 650 ฿ | 9,000 ฿ | from 5,000 ฿ |

You feel the difference on the first climb with a passenger: where a 125cc scooter fades, a maxi keeps pulling — with margin to overtake. The seating is armchair-like, the windshield holds off the airflow at highway speed, and the passenger gets a proper seat rather than a perch. The XMAX adds electronics on top: ABS stops the wheel locking on wet tarmac, traction control covers you on sand and painted lines.
In practice: the XMAX hides about 45 litres under the seat — two helmets, or a helmet and a laptop backpack. This is the bike for a couple riding the whole island: Promthep at sunset, Old Town, the north — in one day, without fatigue.
If you mostly ride solo around town, you don't need a maxi — look at the Honda ADV160 at 500 ฿/day: lighter, cheaper to run and enough for every hill on the island. The full fleet is on the bikes & prices page.
Maxi terms, plus what you need to know about the permit and the deposit.
A full category A motorcycle licence plus an International Driving Permit (IDP). Maxi scooters are 300cc-class machines: a category B (car) licence is not valid for them and insurance will not apply.
Yamaha XMAX 300 — from 4,000 ฿, Honda Forza 300 and the 2026 XMAX flagship — from 5,000 ฿. Cash deposit or passport option: the cash amount is known before booking and returned when you bring the bike back; the original passport stays with you when cash is selected.
Yes. The XMAX has roughly 45 litres of storage under the seat — two helmets, or a helmet plus a laptop backpack. Two helmets come free with any bike.
The price is the same — 650 ฿/day for the XMAX 300 (2020) and the Forza 300. XMAX brings ABS plus traction control and a brand-new 2026 flagship option at 800 ฿/day; Forza is premium comfort in the same class. Send us your dates and we'll tell you honestly what's available.
