Car hire FAQs
Find answers to frequently asked questions about car hires in Malaysia, including policies, requirements, and more. FAQs were last updated on 8 December 2023.
What are the requirements to hire a car in Malaysia?
If you’re searching for car hire in Malaysia, in most cases, the hire company will require you to be at least 23 years old and have held your licence for at least a year. Some companies also have an age limit of 65, so it’s best to check directly with the provider. For those of you aged between 21 and 25, you may have to pay a surplus fee for hire cars in Malaysia. If your licence is not entirely in English, you’ll have to provide an international driving permit or an official translation of your licence into English. You’ll also usually need your passport and a credit or debit card for any car hire.
What are the rules for driving in Malaysia?
For anyone using car hire in Malaysia, note that you’ll be driving on the left-hand side of the road. Seat belts are mandatory in Malaysia for the driver and all passengers, and the use of mobile phones whilst driving is against the law unless you’re using a hands-free system. Anyone driving a vehicle in this country must, at all times, carry with them their licence and any registration and insurance documents. Malaysia has an extensive toll-road system, so it’s best to be aware of this and carry cash or a credit card when driving longer distances across the country. Children under the age of eight must always be in a child safety seat. Other rules to be aware of include not driving after the consumption of any amount of alcohol and making sure that your headlights are on between the hours of 19:00 and 7:00. In towns, speed limits are usually 60-80 kph (37-50 mph), and on highways, they’re between 90 and 110 kph (56-68 mph).
What type of car is recommended for driving in Malaysia?
For travellers who would like to use car hire in Malaysia, the type of car you choose to hire will depend very much on your needs and where in the country you’re heading. The roads in Malaysia are generally very good, particularly in cities and on the highways. For inner-city driving, you may choose to opt for a cheap car hire in Malaysia and go for an economy car, as parking can be challenging. The other thing to be aware of, particularly when driving in cities, is the large number of motorcyclists. Rest assured, however, that there are all kinds of hire cars available, ranging from luxury car hire to SUVs and passenger vans. Most of the major car hire companies have a presence in Malaysia, including Avis, Hertz and Sixt.
