Car Rental in Kuala Lumpur

Family car rental in Kuala Lumpur

The segments of standard, intermediate and full-size cars in Malaysia traditionally include the following vehicles: Hyundai Elantra, Mercedes C Class, Toyota Avensis, Nissan Primera, Hyundai Sonata, Renault Scenic and others.

The process of a car reservation on OrangeSmile.com consists of 3 simple steps: (1) search by the dates and pick-up location, (2) car type selection, and (3) booking form completion. After the booking, you will receive a rental voucher at your e-mail address.

Before selecting a specific model to book, check your planned routes. If you are going to drive mostly within the Kuala Lumpur borders, choose a car of 'Standard' or 'Compact' types. In case you plan long cross-countries trips or mountain adventures, the more comfortable and powerful 'Fullsize' models would become a better choice.

If you need a car with an automatic gearbox, try to make a reservation at least a few days before the pick-up date, since confirmation of such models in Kuala Lumpur might be delayed for a day or two.

Upon the return of your car, carefully check that the total payment amount (invoice) is computed according to the original rental conditions.

We wish you 'smooth', secure and safe roads in Kuala Lumpur!

Previous hints
To ensure the safety of road traffic, many large roads have a special lane for motorbikes and bicycles (as a rule, the extreme left one). Car drivers are not allowed to occupy such lanes.
If it is very simple to find a petrol station in the city, but in some suburban areas they are very rare. The distance between the nearest petrol stations may vary from 25 to 70km, so it is better to purchase some fuel in advance.
The majority of petrol stations are self-service ones. First you need to make the payment through the cashier and tell the number of the filling station. After this, you can go back and fill the tank.

Traveling in Kuala Lumpur with family car
It is uncommon to leave a tip in restaurants and hotels. In some upscale places, it may be included in the bill and is usually not more than 10% of the total order.

Locals are very hospitable, so in any case don’t refuse an invitation to come for a visit. Welcoming hosts would obviously offer guests some drinks and food that won’t be refused too.

It’s common to greet each other with a limp handshake. Hugs are suitable only for close friends or relatives; during intercourse no touching is allowed.

You have to take and pass food, money and other items with your right hand only. If you pass an object with your left hand, then this would be considered a serious insult, and may cause resentment.

On entering the religious objects and living spaces be sure to take off your shoes. Travelers who expect to attend mosques and other places of worship should choose clothes carefully. It shouldn’t be too bright and open-necked.
