Find answers to frequently asked questions about car rentals in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, including policies, requirements, and more. FAQs were last updated on 29 September 2026.
Before you drive on any toll roads in Kuala Lumpur, you'll need to get a Touch 'n Go card. Luckily, these are available at some 7-Eleven stores and petrol stations in Singapore. You can also order one online in advance of your trip. Alternatively, if you're flying into Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KUL), you can find Touch 'n Go kiosks in Car Park C, where you can buy a new card or top up your current one. This is likely where you will pick up your vehicle. The card costs about MYR 10 (roughly SGD 3) plus the minimum top-up amount of an additional MYR 10. When you're on the road, you'll use the card at toll booths like you would use a contactless credit card.
Kuala Lumpur International Airport has several car hire companies available. You can find most of them in the arrivals hall in Terminal 1. There are also companies that have their offices in the car park. If you need to get between Terminal 2 and Terminal 1, there is a free shuttle between the terminals. Most agencies are open between around 07:30 and 22:00 and some have limited hours on Sundays. However, if you book in advance they may be able to remain open outside their usual operating hours. Once you've picked up your vehicle, you can drive into central Kuala Lumpur in around 50min during normal traffic and around 1h 20min during rush hour.
