TL;DR

Based on the discussion, a full-day car with driver in Phu Quoc may cost about the same as a one-day self-drive rental. The driver can take you between stops and wait, avoiding rental-deposit concerns.

What the community said

For getting around the island, consider hiring a car with driver for the full day instead of self-driving; one traveler reported that the cost can be comparable to a self-drive rental.

A driver is useful for an itinerary with several stops: they can take you between locations and wait while you visit each place.

For a self-drive rental, confirm booking and deposit-refund terms in advance: in the discussion, a provider requested a substantial upfront deposit a month before travel, more than four times the daily rental price.
