How do I find the best car rental deals in Gaya Island with Expedia?
Check customer reviews, choose your car type and compare prices from the most popular providers. Expedia makes it a cinch to get the best deal on your rental wheels. Bundle your Gaya Island car rental with hotel or flight bookings and start your road trip with even bigger savings.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Gaya Island?
Gaya Island requires drivers to be 21 and above before they can rent a car. However, young drivers can expect an extra cost and stricter rental conditions. Many companies impose a daily young renter fee in addition to the normal car rental rate. This helps cover the extra risk of accident or damage. While many car categories (like compact and mid-size) are available to young motorists, restrictions generally apply to specialty and luxury vehicles.
What do you need to rent a car in Gaya Island?
You'll need to present a valid driver's licence and a credit card when you get to the rental counter. Prior to the pickup date, check with your rental provider whether anything else is needed. For example, you may also need to show proof of insurance.
What side of the road do you drive on in Gaya Island?
If you're renting a vehicle in Gaya Island or planning a road trip around Malaysia, remember that you'll be driving on the left-hand side. Also, the steering wheel will be on the opposite side of what you're used to in the U.S. This may feel a little unfamiliar at first, so take things slow to begin with.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Gaya Island?
Whether you're planning to stick around Gaya Island or journey beyond, it's easy to book a long-term rental with Expedia. Enter your trip details and pick-up/drop-off locations and we'll help you find amazing long-term car rental deals.
Where can I find a Gaya Island car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some Gaya Island providers will rent cars to drivers under 25 years of age, and others won't. Policies differ from supplier to supplier, so you'll need to do your homework. Also, find out if there are additional costs. Some outlets will pass on a surcharge to young drivers between the ages of 21 and 24. Always read through the terms and conditions to avoid any surprise fees.
