While selecting your preferred model of an off-road vehicle, please examine the rental conditions. In particular, those requirements that concern credit cards – when it comes to renting an expensive car, sometimes offices in Malaysia ask information about two credit cards.
Before signing the contract in the rental office upon arrival, check that the invoice figures match with figures in your voucher.
Once the vehicle is assigned, inspect it carefully before leaving the parking.

Common questions on rental process
In order to be able to drive in Malaysia, foreign guests must obtain the local driving license. The whole procedure is rather simple. You do not need to take any additional exams to get the driving license. Simply go to any police station and show the driving license of your home country to get the Malaysian driving license.
In case of an accident, you will need to contact the police, otherwise getting the insurance coverage is out of the question. All participants of the accident must go to a police station to file a complaint. The driver, who comes first, has a significant advantage. If one party fails to do that, it is automatically recognized guilty in the accident.
Traffic is very intense in popular resort areas of the country. Surprisingly, these busy roads help foreign motorists get accustomed to peculiarities of local roads. As it is nearly impossible to move quickly in heavy traffic, the traffic there becomes more organized.
