Question 4

What kind of rental car should I get for Kota Bharu?

Accepted Answer

Sure, you can do Kota Bharu without a rental car. But with loads to see and experience here, having one would certainly make your stay more comfortable. If you'd like to get out of town and into Mother Nature, choose a rental car with some power. A larger car like an SUV will take you to the area's sandy shores in roomy comfort. Going to spend most of your getaway near the bright lights of the city? A small, economical car is the way to go. Maneuvering through narrow lanes and squeezing into tiny parking spots will be a walk in the park with one of these.

Should I get a luxury rental car in Kota Bharu?

Accepted Answer

You'll be glad to know that there's an impressive variety of both economy and high-end rental vehicles on offer in Kota Bharu. What you go for depends on your budget and what you plan to do. Prestige vehicles often spare no expense when it comes to mod cons and comfort. If you're splashing out, why not book an elite SUV, or perhaps a slick mid-size sedan? Alternatively, if you're just after a set of wheels to get from A to B as economically as possible, you're better off choosing an economy vehicle (or something else that's unlikely to break the bank).

What side of the road do they drive on in Kota Bharu?
