In Krabi, or rather in Aonang, there are only 2 places where you should take a bike. And I took in both. In all the rest, and I walked along the main road to the sea and went into everything, they will want a passport as a deposit. I do not think they will breed, like in Phangan, but I do not recommend leaving your documents to strangers. Given that there is a choice, then let them go through the forest with their own requirements..
The main post about that, how to rent a bike in Tae, I already wrote. There you will learn all the details and nuances, from the contract to the controls of the scooter. And here only about Krabi and local rents.

- You can safely rent from Evgeny Khamitov, here is his Facebook page on MotoKrabi bikes and website, phone + 66-9-1413-7811. This is a rare case when it is better to turn to a Russian-speaking person. Full tank, which is never the case with Thais. There are several dozen bikes, several cars, a couple of tuk-tuks for rent and motorcycles with mechanics. You don't need a passport as a deposit and in case of damage it will take the real value. Normal helmets. Since there is free bike delivery to your home or hotel, the minimum rental period is a week. He will show you how to drive, tell you where to go. A very adequate person and most importantly, he really monitors the state of the bikes.
- Mr Kord. Almost everyone here knows this chela, he has a lot of bikes, occupying half of the street. And the office itself is very small, it is easy to walk by. You go from McDonald's to the sea and after 100 meters there will be his office on the left. No passport required as a deposit, only a copy. Loyal to scratches (I broke the mirror, took a little). There is insurance for the bike, such as if you crash for an additional price. Prices are normal, rent from the 1st day. One drawback is that the bikes are weird, and they don't really care about their technical condition, check when you take that the tires are normal and the brakes are working and in general he was driving. Do not take cars from Kord, monitors their condition even less than bikes. Friends have failed brakes, and this is not the only case! Better to take in Motocrabi or from the network.

Bike rental cost
On average, you should expect 200 baht / day for a regular bike like the Honda Click. More expensive only with insurance or better bikes. For a month, such bikes are rented for about 2500-4000 baht, depending on your bargaining ability, the novelty of the bike and the length of the period (it will be several months cheaper). Speech about AoNang, on Klong Muang, for example, they wanted 300 baht / day for not a new bike.
MotoKrabi
The price for a simple bike is 1300 baht / week or 3000 baht / month. If you take the Honda Click, Yamaha Nouvo and Grand Filano (125cc each) - 1500 baht / week and 3500 baht / month. Honda PCX or new Aerox, as well as NMax - 2500 baht / week and 6500 baht / month.

Mr Kord
Normal bike 200 baht / day, 280 baht / day with insurance. Deposit 3000 baht and a copy of your passport. If you rent with insurance, then no deposit. Wants 3500-4000 baht per month for Honda Click (depending on condition), but you can bargain.
International distributors
It is best to take a car not from local Thai distributors, but from international networks with a worldwide reputation, which are located at all airports in the country. There will be fewer problems and surprises - they are sure everything is in order with contracts and insurance. Especially, I recommend doing this if you need a car for several days or weeks, and not months, then there will be no difference in price.
In this case, we are talking about Krabi airport. Of course, the most convenient way would be to fly to the airport and immediately get the car upon arrival. You just need to book in advance, and then get it at the counter without any problems..
I myself have already done this several times, moreover, a couple of times I even took it for a month, it turned out the same as with small private traders - 16-18 thousand baht. Then it was the AVIS company with discounts. For a few days / weeks I usually find myself on Hertz, which is considered to be expensive, but if you know how to book, it is often cheaper than everyone else. For 3 years now, most often I take their cars in the end. How to book below.

So my advice is to take not directly from international car rental companies, but through the Economybookings service. Firstly, through it the prices are lower, as I said, at Hertz it is especially noticeable. Secondly, it shows all prices from all distributors at once, you can always choose those who offer the best price or conditions. Here's my mega informative post., how to rent a car in Tae.
