Important information about Kuala Lumpur car hire

A trip to Kuala Lumpur would not be complete without visiting one of its famous architectural marvels, like Petronas Twin Towers, Merdeka Square, or Thean Hou Temple, all of which are easily reached by car. Keep an eye out for SPRINT highway, as it connects to three other roads namely Damansara Link, Kerinchi Link, and Penchala Link. While on Damansara Link, you’ll have a choice of whether to pay a toll or avoid it. Parking in Kuala Lumpur can be challenging, as it is a popular destination for visitors who want to explore history, culture, and shopping. Although you may get some free street parking slots, most available spaces will either be metered, in a paid parking lot or a paid parking garage. Renting a car is pretty easy, and there are upwards of eight car hire locations in Kuala Lumpur.

Is it worthwhile to rent a car while visiting Kuala Lumpur?

Parking in this city shouldn’t worry you, as it has an array of garages and parking lots. Kuala Lumpur is a bustling city with numerous traffic hotspots, including Cheras-Kajang Expressway and Jalan Tun Razak. Traffic snarl-ups start in the morning and early evening, so consider avoiding these times if you don’t want to spend hours on the highway in your Kuala Lumpur car rental. It is in your best interest to rent a car on your weekend escape to Kuala Lumpur. Driving makes it much easier to make stops at magnificent landmarks in the surrounding area, including the water theme parks and cultural parks in Melaka, both of which are less than a two-hour drive away. This laidback city is known for being particularly walkable, and as such, hired cars in Kuala Lumpur are not a must. However, for spread-out neighbourhoods and sights such as Kuala Selangor and Sunway Lagoon, a cheap car rental in Kuala Lumpur will help you save time and money, besides giving you more freedom when planning your schedule.

What different driving laws should I keep in mind while driving in Kuala Lumpur?

When booking hired cars in Kuala Lumpur, it’s important to familiarise yourself with the city’s unique traffic laws for safe navigation to your desired attractions. For instance, all lighting functions must be working properly, and the car registration plates must be displayed. Fasten your seat belts before hitting the road, and drive within the stipulated speed limits. Be aware that drunk-driving is prohibited, and that a blood alcohol content level higher than 0.8% will attract stiff penalties. You may thus consider staying sober when driving around. It's imperative to check with Kuala Lumpur's department of motor vehicles for any recent law adjustments.

Will I need a special driving license or permit to drive a rental car in Kuala Lumpur?

for hiring a car in Kuala Lumpur, including a cheap car rental or a people carrier rental, you must have an official driving license. If you’re from outside Malaysia, you can use the driving license issued by your country of origin for three months, then apply for an international driving license. To avoid an unnecessary brush-ups with the law enforcers, have your official passport with you during your rental period. Although the minimum driving age in Malaysia is 18, most companies require those who want a rental car in Kuala Lumpur to be at least 23 years old.
