Booking a hire car in Malaysia is among the best ways to explore the country at your own pace without worrying about the schedules of public transit options. After hiring a car, you can enjoy popular Malaysian road trips, such as the Kuala Lumpur to Melaka journey. With the flexibility of a hire car, you can stop along the way at towns like Seremban and enjoy the rich heritage of Malaysia and traditional dishes. An additional perk of hiring a vehicle is the ability to haul some hefty luggage to spice up your road trip.
Given that Malaysia is a left-hand drive country, driving should feel familiar to cruising in countries such as Australia. Most federal roads, state roads and expressways are in good condition. If you travel on a toll road, note that cash payments are not accepted. However, most car hire firms will cater to this and add it to your total hire cost. Like most South Asian cities, you may find many motorcycles on the road. Additionally, some state roads will have animals, so be on the lookout for animal crossing road signs.
Malaysian laws stipulate that drivers be at least 17 years old. However, most car hire firms only hire vehicles to those over 21, with companies such as Avis increasing the minimum hiring age to 23. Drivers aged 25 and below must pay a surcharge and will have access to fewer car types. Additionally, the maximum hiring age for most car hire firms in Malaysia is 65. Companies like Hertz allow 75-year-old drivers to hire specific car categories but charge a senior driver fee. You need to present a valid driver’s licence held for at least one year, a passport and a debit or credit card, depending on the company you are hiring from.
