Tips for hiring a car in Kuala Lumpur
Browse helpful tips for hiring a car in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia including age restrictions, car type suggestions and more. Tips were last updated on 17 April 2025.
- To hire a vehicle in Kuala Lumpur, you'll need to present your driving licence and passport. You can drive on a Singapore driving licence in Malaysia, so you won't need to get an International Driving Permit. You'll also need a credit card in your name to pay the deposit. Note that debit cards, including those issued by Visa or Mastercard, usually aren't accepted. Some level of insurance in the form of a Collision Damage Waiver is usually included in your booking. Make sure you know what you're covered for and take out additional insurance if necessary. Make sure you keep all these documents with you when you're driving, you'll need to present them if you're pulled over.
- The roads in Kuala Lumpur are well-maintained, and you should have little to no issues driving on them. However, getting around can be confusing, so consider adding a GPS or using your phone for directions. This way, if you miss a planned turn, it can recalculate directions for you. When driving at night, remember that your headlights must be turned on between 19:00 and 07:00. Finally, bear in mind that you will likely share the roads with a significant number of motorcyclists, who may weave in between traffic.
- With your own vehicle, it's easy to drive not just in Kuala Lumpur, but all around Malaysia. You can drive to the rainforests near Gopeng in around 2 hours or take a longer trip down to the Desaru Coast in just over 4 hours. As Kuala Lumpur is right in the middle of Malaysia's west coast, you can easily drive all over the country. Bear in mind that you usually won't be able to take your vehicle across the border into either Singapore or Thailand.
- Rush hour in Kuala Lumpur gets very busy and you can expect significant delays if you drive during these times. Try to avoid driving in Kuala Lumpur between 07:00 and 10:00 and 16:00 and 19:00. This is especially true in the city centre. On main roads such as Jalan Ampang, there can still be heavy traffic until 20:00 on some days. If you need to drive into the city during these times, plan for your journey to take at least 30min longer than expected.
