How old do you have to be to rent a car in Kuala Lumpur?
Rental vehicle rules in Kuala Lumpur require drivers to be 21 and above. Are you a young driver? Some surcharges and restrictions may apply. Many rental companies impose what is known as a young renter surcharge, which is an extra fee to the car rental cost. Restrictions generally apply to the types of cars young drivers can rent as well. Age limits may differ between companies, so check before you book.
What do you need to rent a car in Kuala Lumpur?
Be prepared to present your driver's licence and a credit card when you get to the rental counter. Before pickup, check with your rental supplier whether anything else is needed. For example, you may also need to provide proof of insurance.
What side of the road do you drive on in Kuala Lumpur?
In Kuala Lumpur and across Malaysia, motorists drive on the left side of the road. This in itself can be daunting, but the driver's seat and some controls are also on the other side to what you're used to. For a safe journey, take things slow to begin with and leave yourself some extra time to get to your next stop.

Yes, and you're sure to find your ideal ride among our long-term car rental deals. Simply enter your trip information and we'll list awesome options from various top suppliers.
Where can I find a Kuala Lumpur car rental if I am younger than 25?
This depends on the car rental companies operating in Kuala Lumpur. They often have different age policies. If you've found an outlet that does cater to drivers under 25, be aware that additional costs may apply. Do some research into what those charges could be before you collect the car.
