What happens if I need to cancel my Padang car reservation?

Your itinerary contains details about this, as does our Customer Service Portal. Not all prepaid rentals will receive a refund though, so it's a good idea to check your car rental policy.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Padang?
Padang rules state drivers must be 21 and above to rent a car. However, young drivers can expect an extra cost and some restrictions. Most suppliers impose a daily young renter fee on top of the car rental rate. This covers the higher risk of damage or accident. While many car classes (like economy and compact) are available to young motorists, restrictions usually apply to luxury cars.
What do you need to rent a car in Padang?
Most rental companies will need these two things — a current driver's licence and a credit card in your name. If you'd prefer to opt out of the provider's insurance plan, proof of other coverage will also likely be needed. Read your policy thoroughly so you know what to bring when it's time to collect your car.
What side of the road do you drive on in Padang?
In Padang and across Malaysia, you'll need to drive on the left. This can be daunting enough, but the driver's seat and some controls are also on the other side to what you're used to. For a smooth and safe journey, take things slower and leave yourself extra time to arrive at your destination.

Expedia makes it a breeze to score a quality long-term car rental in Padang. Just head to our long-term car rental deals page, enter your trip details and compare your options.
Where can I find a Padang car rental if I am younger than 25?
