Question 4

What kind of rental car should I get for Perai?

Accepted Answer

Perai is a few miles out of central Butterworth, so it's likely you'll be doing a fair bit of driving. If you're planning to use Perai as a starting point to discover the city and its nearby areas, opt for a smaller car. Nothing beats a mini for squeezing into those crowded downtown parking spots. Alternatively, if you're moving away from all the hustle and bustle, book something with a bigger engine and more room to move. Not many tourists regret splashing out that little bit extra on a premium or a full-size car.

Should I get a luxury rental car in Perai?

You'll be glad to hear that there's a huge range of both luxury and economy rental vehicles on offer in Perai. What you end up going with is largely dependent on your funds and what you plan to do. Prestige vehicles often spare no expense when it comes to comfort and class. If you're splurging, why not pick an SUV with all the bells and whistles, or perhaps an upmarket medium-sized sedan? Alternatively, if you just need a set of wheels to get you around town as cheaply as possible, you're better off choosing an economy vehicle (or something else that won't burn a hole in your pocket).
