How to find a cheap rental car rate at HKT Phuket airport?

Hi guys,

actually i have chosen an misleading thread title .
the reason is , that i have found a mistaken rate for rental cars in thailand phuket .

and i dont want to get these rates pulled out of the system so more People can use these rates.




so i was looking for rental cars at the HKT PHuket airport.

the cheapst i was getting was a rate around 35 usd through amex.

than i checked Kayak.com

i entered the dates july 30 - august 1.

CarRentals.com shows up with rates beginning at 12usd - 45 usd.
at 24usd you can get a SUV...

on the CarRentals.com homepage there was a link, SHOW all rates.

the same car which was showing at 12usd - was now displayed at 1200 Baht.
the 13usd car - 1300baht.

after that

i entered 1.august to 31. august

now budget cars show up at 12usd - 50usd

now if you click onthe SHOW all rates. link, the cheapest rate displayed is in thai baht 1006 baht.

if you do the maths, the rates in THB are more than 3x the USD rates.

so what do you think, did i find some mistaken rates?

even if this is not a mistaken rates, these rates havent been there yesterday. and i made two reservations and got already my email confirmations with my avis reservation numbers on it.

hope this helps.
