The airport point is one of four locations run by this family business; whether it's a full in-terminal counter or a meeting point isn't independently confirmed.
This is one of the clearest cases in this comparison where the number shown elsewhere doesn't match the real, independently-found signal — treat the on-file 4,4/5 as unreliable.
Is Andaman Cars Phuket well rated?
The real reputation here is genuinely mixed and, on the one hard number found, notably lower than advertised: long-time renters report trouble-free experiences and a huge range of well-maintained vehicles, but a separately-titled "AWFUL Experience" thread and reports of inconsistent vehicle condition and unresponsive service point the other way.

Company-published rates: Toyota Vios/Yaris around 1,200-1,300 THB/day, Honda Civic around 1,400 THB/day, up to 2,400-2,500 THB/day for larger SUVs.
Before you book at Phuket Airport
A few practical points apply to every desk at Phuket: Thailand drives on the left, and the island's hillier west-coast roads toward Kata and Patong reward a car with decent brakes and some power in the rainy season. Bring an International Driving Permit alongside your home licence, as it's commonly requested at the counter. Deposit holds are usually placed on a credit card, and prices swing sharply with the season, so booking a few weeks ahead tends to lock in a better rate.

Is Andaman Cars' 4,4/5 rating at Phuket Airport reliable?
No — an independent directory shows just 2,9/5 on a small sample, sharply lower than the figure often quoted. Photograph the vehicle carefully before driving off, per multiple renters' advice.
