What is the most popular rental car category in Penang?
Don't limit your adventuring to the cities. Penang has some glorious scenery, such as coral reefs, mangroves, and sandy shores. A car like a convertible will help you explore them in style. These rental vehicles are ideal for visitors hoping to soak up the views with the top down. Who doesn't love the feeling of the wind blowing through their hair?
Should I get a luxury rental car in Penang?
You'll be pleased to hear that there's a huge variety of both luxury and economy rentals in Penang. What you end up opting for will depend on your funds as well as what you plan to do. Specialty vehicles are hard to beat if you're all about mod cons and comfort. If you want to treat yourself, why not book a fully kitted-out SUV, or perhaps a flashy mid-sized vehicle? On the other hand, if you're just after a set of wheels to zip around town in at the cheapest price possible, we can help you out with a budget compact vehicle (or something else that's unlikely to break the bank).
What side of the road do they drive on in Penang?
Keep to the left-hand side of the road in Penang. If you plan to rent a car here, take note that the driver's seat will be on the right. It could take a bit to get the hang of!
What happens if I get a speeding fine while driving a rental car in Malaysia?
One of two things will happen. Your rental car company may bill the amount stated on the fine to your credit card. This is the usual approach. Otherwise, it may provide your contact details to the relevant local agency so the fine is issued straight to you.
