That depends largely on where you’re planning to head. Downtown Alor Setar, about 5 miles from Alor Setar Airport (AOR-Sultan Abdul Halim), can be a bit tricky to drive around. Make things easy for yourself by opting for something compact, fuel-efficient, and simple to operate. Take into consideration that Alor Setar is an excellent base to explore some of the coral reefs around Kedah. If your escape is more about cruising the wide-open roads, then you may like something with a little more comfort and room to move around. How about a full-size car or a standard SUV?
