Kuala Lumpur car rentals

Top tips for renting a car in Kuala Lumpur

• The best way to explore Kuala Lumpur and the surrounding wonderful landscape of Malaysia is by renting a car upon your arrival. The city is encircled by scenic recreational areas like the Recreational Forest Bukit Lagong or the Nuang Mountain Recreational Forest, which tempt travelers to discover their hidden secrets and experience the Malaysian countryside. A car will also help to explore the city from the National Zoo in the north to the Mines Wonderland in the south.
• Rent a car upon landing at Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) at one of the many service desks including Avis, Hertz, or Europcar. Head to the Transportation Hub to choose from the cars on offer and then follow the signs towards the city center. It will take about 50 minutes to drive to Kuala Lumpur – another reason why picking up a hire car upon your arrival is a clever choice, so that travelers can start their journey quickly and easily.
• Driving defensively in Kuala Lumpur is a good idea, as turn signals are rarely used and changing lanes can require some time and pushy driving behavior. Tailgating is also common on highways, so keep your distance from the car ahead, adhere to the speed limit and double-check before entering intersections or roundabouts.
• Traffic can increase considerably in Kuala Lumpur during rush hour, which is between 8:00 and 10:00 am and 5:00 and 8:00 pm. When it rains, drive slowly and defensively, as vision can get blurry. When driving to the airport, plan at least 2 hours extra to ensure a punctual arrival at the airport.
