Should I get a luxury rental car in Malaysia?
For some of us, owning a high-end vehicle is little more than a pipe dream. But renting your dream car can easily be a reality! Imagine the joy of cruising down the highway in a swish convertible, even if it’s only for a little while. Or maybe all you’re after is a set of wheels to get you quickly from point A to point B. Extravagant or economical? Whatever you decide, there’s a rental car to suit you in Malaysia.
What side of the road do they drive on in Malaysia?
In Malaysia, motorists drive on the left-hand side of the road. This means the driver’s seat is on the right-hand side. If you’ve chosen a manual transmission rental vehicle, get used to changing gears with your left hand.
What happens if I get a speeding fine while driving a rental car in Malaysia?
One of two things will happen. Your chosen car rental company may bill the fined amount to your credit card. This is the usual approach. Otherwise, it may pass on your contact information to the relevant local authority so the fine is sent to you directly.
