28 Apr - 30 AprTraffic in Malaysia flows on the left, and drivers should overtake on the right-hand side. You must carry your driving licence and car rental documents with you at all times and have them ready for any impromptu police checkpoints. It's illegal to use your mobile phone while driving rental cars in Malaysia, except if they're hands-free, and front-seat passengers must always wear their seat belts. Furthermore, you must always pay your tolls on motorways - called expressways - or you can get the Touch N' Go card if you plan on using the expressway system more frequently. If children are travelling with you, you must use a special child seat in the back for under-four-year-olds, or you might incur a fine. Streets in Malaysia may not always exhibit priority road signs, so remember to give way to vehicles from the left-hand side. Finally, though this isn't legally enforceable, you should drive defensively because local drivers can perform unexpected manoeuvres, or you may encounter wildlife such as monkeys, especially on non-urban roads.
While the minimum driving age in Malaysia is 17, you must be 23 or over to secure rental cars, and your driving licence must have been valid for at least a year. You need to show your driving licence, a form of ID such as a passport, and a credit card at your provider's desk. Some providers will want to see an International Driving Permit (IDP), especially if your driving licence isn't printed in the Latin alphabet. Note you can only rent a car for three months on a foreign driving licence - beyond that, you have to apply for a local driving permit. If you're planning to return the car hire to a different location or drive to other countries, you must always inform your provider first. Certain car rental companies may not allow cross-border driving into Singapore and Thailand.
The Klang Valley can get heavily congested during morning and evening rush hour, comprising the capital Kuala Lumpur and surrounding areas, including Petaling Jaya and Subang Jaya. Other roads in Kuala Lumpur with long waiting times in traffic include Jalan Sultan Ismail, Jalan Bukit Bintang, and Jalan Raja Laut. Additionally, the Federal Highway, connecting Kuala Lumpur to suburban areas of Selangor, can get busy during commute time. Other urban areas, like Penang and Johor Bahru, may be difficult to drive through, particularly at peak tourist season. When exploring urban areas, it's best to park rental cars either at hotels or outside the city centre. Whilst in traffic, be extra careful around motorcycles and mopeds: there's a lot of them, and they frequently pass between cars on city roads and motorways. Roads in Malaysia are generally of good quality, and there's an extensive motorway system, so, during low traffic, you should be able to get around easily with your car hire.
Malaysian road trips can offer outstanding diversity, with urban attractions on Peninsular Malaysia and the more natural landscapes of the east. A cross-country drive in your car hire, from east to west, can be done over a few days, showing you the country's great diversity. Starting at Kuantan, an eastern coastal town, you can get the tropical feel of Malaysia. Then, making your way to Kuala Lumpur on the E8 expressway, drive alongside ancient forests and natural reserves such as Krau Wildlife Reserve. Many attractions lie on this scenic route, such as Berkelah Falls, just off the E8, and the Batu Caves, with beautiful limestone hills and hidden temples. From Kuala Lumpur, the drive to Cameron Highland in the northwest changes the scenery to endless green fields, strawberry farms, and small villages. If agreed with your car rental supplier, you can make the drive from northern Malaysia to Betang, Thailand, a province near the border that hosts the Bang Lang National Park, with panoramic views along the way.
