How old do you have to be to rent a car in Merdeka?
Drivers 21 and above can hit the road in Merdeka in a rental car. If you're a young driver, a daily surcharge applies. You'll usually have fewer car categories to choose from, such as economy and compact, and may also be required to take out comprehensive insurance. Always enter the correct age of the primary driver when booking to find out if any restrictions or surcharges apply.
What do you need to rent a car in Merdeka?
A current driver's licence and a credit card in the same name are necessities. Don't want to take out the company's insurance plan? If that's the case, you may need proof of other coverage. Requirements may differ between rental suppliers, so read your policy thoroughly.
What side of the road do you drive on in Merdeka?
In Merdeka and across Malaysia, motorists drive on the left-hand side of the road. This in itself can be daunting, but the steering wheel and other controls are also on the other side to what you're used to. For a safer ride, take things slower and allow yourself ample time to get to your destination.

Yes, and you're sure to find your ideal wheels among our long-term car rental deals. Simply enter your trip dates and we'll list terrific offers from a range of reputable companies.
Where can I find a Merdeka car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some Merdeka providers will rent to drivers under 25, and others won't. Age policies differ between suppliers, so you'll have to do some research. Also, find out if there are additional costs. Some businesses will pass on a surcharge to young drivers between the ages of 21 and 24. Always read through the terms and conditions so you know what to expect.
