A Simple Guide to Renting Your First Car in Malaysia

Start your Malaysian journey with confidence. Our beginner-friendly tips provide essential information to ensure a smooth and stress-free car rental experience.

Touch 'n Go Card

Essential for Highway Access – Malaysia's highways operate on an electronic toll collection system, requiring a Touch 'n Go (T&G) card for seamless travel. Tourists can easily add this card to their rental package.

Speed Limits

Malaysia employs Automated Enforcement System (AES) cameras to monitor speed limits, especially on major highways. Tourists unfamiliar with these systems should adhere strictly to posted speed limits to avoid fines.

Driving Orientation

In Malaysia, vehicles are right-hand drive, and traffic flows on the left side. Tourists should familiarize themselves with this orientation and always carry a valid driving license and, if necessary, an International Driving Permit (IDP).

Vehicle Inspection

Before starting your journey, inspect the rental vehicle for existing damages and ensure they're documented. Understand the insurance coverage provided, and consider additional coverage if necessary.

In a world full of online scams, how do I know ARACAR Rental is safe and legitimate? ⚠️

  • Scammers often ask you to transfer funds directly into personal or unverified accounts, or provide unofficial payment links. These methods are risky, untraceable, and offer no protective recourse if something goes wrong.

  • ARACAR Rental, on the other hand, uses trusted payment gateways like Stripe and BillPlz:

    • Stripe is audited by a PCI-certified auditor and holds PCI Service Provider Level 1 certification—the highest standard globally. All card data is encrypted, tokenized, and securely transmitted, meaning Stripe handles and protects it, not us.

    • BillPlz is a Malaysian gateway designed for local businesses, processing over MYR 6 billion in transactions in 2023. It’s PCI-compliant and operates with enterprise-level security and high uptime.

    • With these systems, you receive official receipts instantly, and you have options to dispute or claim refunds through secure, regulated channels.

  • You can independently confirm our legitimacy through Malaysia’s Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture (MOTAC). Visit the TOBTAB license-check page.

    • Simply search for ARA Time Travel & Tours Sdn. Bhd. and you’ll find our valid, official license. Since licensing is a rigorous process that scammers can’t replicate, this confirms we’re a fully-registered, legal, and credible company.

My family and I traveled from Kuching, Sarawak, and had an excellent and friendly experience with ARA Car Rental! We booked a Hyundai Starex and it came in great clean condition. The best part was they delivered and collected the car directly at our arrival hall location at KLIA. That was a great help! Highly recommend their service for anyone needing a car rental at KLIA.

I recently arranged a car rental with ARA for a 5-day trip for our foreign delegate, and the experience was excellent. The reservation process was seamless, and the staff at the pick-up location were both friendly and efficient. The company's adaptability in meeting our needs was what impressed me the most. Despite our last-minute request, they went above and beyond to accommodate us, demonstrating a level of flexibility that is rare to find in service providers. The drop-off process was equally straightforward.

Booked a Hyundai Starex for a 1000km family adventure last year and had a whale of a time with it. Big, strong, friendly, grippy, handles great on hill roads. Was given free upgrade to a Staria this year, a real smoothie and the fam loved it even more. The ARA team answered all my many queries promptly and were a joy to deal with, they make things simple and easy. Terima kasih!

Recently I rented one MPV from ARA with home delivery & pick up service and I must say it was a breeze. The staff gave a very good service. The car arrived on time, it was clean and well maintained. The convenience of having the car brought to me made the whole rental experience stress free. Highly recommended.

I have booked a Honda CRV for my family of 5 with ARA for 19 days in Malaysia and was very pleased with the service provided by ARA. The car was in an excellent condition when we took it and it served our road trip without any issues. The car was polished and clean, tyres were near new. Halim was very responsive from the time of booking and his staffs were more than accommodating with all our requests. We have a few hours of delays and ARA staff had waited for us to midnight to handover the car! I have requested a TNG card for toll and they have also accommodated my request. Paperwork is done digitally so no hassle at all. When returning the car, the staff was punctual and turn up early to pick up the car, despite me changing the specific pickup location and the change of pickup time was ok too. I will book my next car rental in Malaysia with ARA for sure! Thanks Halim, Ulfa and Bay for all your good work to provide an excellent customer service and positive experience to me and my family. Most importantly, the Vechicle is safe and in tip top condition for our 3 weeks road trip! Well done!

ARA rental experience was fantastic. Booking process was smooth. Car selection was clear (although they changed it later), payment process was smooth. Car was delivered on time at the hotel lobby for a small fee (experience was great). Car was in good condition. No hidden fees!At the end of the booking, folks came down and picked up the car. Agents were really nice and stuck a good conversation.Security deposit was refunded in a weeks timeWill definitely book with them again
