Top tips for hiring a car in Malaysia

  • If you love to drive, then you are sure to enjoy driving in Malaysia because it has one of the most extensive road networks in Southeast Asia. You may not care for the fact that many of the highways leading to and from them have toll stations, so get yourself a "touch and go" card if you travel them often because once you can escape city limits, there are thousands of miles of road to explore.
  • It is fortunate that many of the hotels in the capital city of Kuala Lumpur offer their guests complimentary parking, otherwise finding space in the city can prove to be extremely difficult due to sheer number of cars on the road. There are municipal car parks as well as parking meters and if you use a car park make sure your ticket is properly displayed or you could be subject to a fine.
  • The use of speed cameras by the authorities is well known to the locals in Malaysia so sticking to the limit is always a great idea. The blood alcohol level in the country is the same as for many cities in the United States (80 mg), however you should still exercise caution if you choose to rent a car in Malaysia.
  • If you’ve got a few hours to spare, it’s worth driving from Kuala Lumpur to Singapore or vice versa. From Kuala Lumpur you can pick up the E37 from Jalan Sunga Besi which will connect you to the AH2 and you can follow it from there all the way south to Singapore. Be sure to plan your trip carefully using a good map or turn on your GPS and enjoy the ride.
