Pulau Langkawi - Getting Around by Car

Nothing beats having your own wheels. The comfort of driving and the convenience of being able to go anywhere you want around Langkawi Island, at anytime you desire makes this the most popular mode of transportation. Even though the charges for renting a car is slightly on the high side here in Langkawi Island, personally, I think it's well worth it. After all, you're only going to be renting the car for a fews days only (it's not like you're going to rent it for the whole month!)

There are several car rental agencies offering quite a wide variety of cars to choose from. Most of the cars for rent here are the Malaysian made Proton and Perodua cars. The rates for renting a car varies between RM 80.00 and RM 150.00, depending on the model of the car and the season (Peak / Off-Peak).

Most of the time, right after you get off the ferry, numerous car rental agents will swarm around the Kuah jetty exit, peddling their cars at various rates. I would recommend that you ask around first before committing to one car rental agent, to ensure that you get the lowest price possible.

Oh, and by the way, cars can also be rented from booths at the Langkawi International Airport.

Below are some of the car rental agencies operating in Pulau Langkawi:

· Cars in Langkawi and Malaysia are right hand drive. So, when driving on the road, keep to the left side of the road. Don't forget to fasten your seat belts too!
