Question 12

Can I cross the border with a rental car from Kota Kinabalu?

Accepted Answer

Peninsula Malaysia shares a border with Thailand and Singapore across a bridge, while East Malaysia shares a border with Brunei and Indonesia; that being said, most (if not all) providers of car hire in Kota Kinabalu will not allow driving into any other countries, even if you plan to return to Malaysia to drop off your car later. If you plan to visit Malaysia as well as either of those countries on the same trip, you can cross the border with public transportation and pick up another hire car after arriving at your destination. Always ask your hire car supplier in advance about any planned border crossings, as well as crossing bodies of water with a ferry. Driving outside of Malaysia without your hire car agency’s permission will violate the contract and void any insurance.

Question 13

Can you hire a car in Kota Kinabalu without a credit card?

Accepted Answer

Car hire agencies require a payment card for insurance against possible expenses relating to damage, fines or other charges caused by the fault of the driver. While some people do not bring a credit card with them or prefer using a debit card these days, a debit card will not be accepted by most providers of cheap car rentals in Kota Kinabalu, and neither will cheques or cash. A debit card may sometimes be used for booking, but you will still need a credit card issued to the main driver in order to secure the deposit when you arrive at the hire desk.

Question 14

What driving laws should I keep an eye out for in Kota Kinabalu?

Accepted Answer

Driving around Kota Kinabalu can feel familiar, especially if you’re used to driving on the left side of the road, as in the UK. The left lane of a dual carriageway is the slow lane and the right-most lane is for overtaking; but on a three lane expressway, the centre lane can be used when driving at a steady speed and not overtaking. On top of that, road signs in Malaysia are in accordance with the international road signs, so despite the presence of Malay words, anyone should be able to understand most of the signs. The speed limit is generally 110 km/h (70 mph) on motorways and 50 to 70 km/h (30 to 45 mph) in town. There are many motorcycles in Kota Kinabalu, so be alert for motorcycles sharing the road, at traffic lights, intersections and when going around a corner. In Kota Kinabalu, the blood alcohol content (BAC) limit is 0.08%, as in the UK. Unlike major motorways in Peninsular Malaysia, the dual carriage Pan Borneo Expressway in Sabah and Sarawak is toll free.

Question 15

What documents does an international traveller need to hire a car in Kota Kinabalu?

Accepted Answer

At the time of your car hire, you will need to have held a full and valid driving licence for at least two years. A driving licence that uses non-Roman alphabets (Hangul, Chinese characters, Cyrillic etc) must be complemented by an International Driving Licence, or for some providers of car hire in Kota Kinabalu, any driving licence not in English will require an International Driving Licence. The minimum age to hire a car is 21 for most Kota Kinabalu car hire agencies, and some car hire companies may charge a fee for drivers under the age of 25, as well as those over the age of 65. Your car hire agency may ask for a secondary ID card or passport at time of pick up, and remember to bring a credit card registered in the same name as the booking.

Question 16

Question 18

How old do you have to be to hire a car in Kota Kinabalu?

Accepted Answer

The minimum age for drivers varies by country, including Kota Kinabalu. In many EU countries drivers must be 18 years old. As a rule, you’ll need to be 21 to hire a car abroad, and a young driver surcharge may be applied if you are under 25. We recommend reading through the policy of your chosen hire company before booking.

Question 19

What documentation or ID do you need to hire a car in Kota Kinabalu?

Accepted Answer

To hire a car in Kota Kinabalu, all drivers must present a valid full driving license. If the license is written in a language other than the language of the country of hire, an International Driving Permit may be required to avoid the risk of potential fines. If you're hiring a car abroad, you may also need to provide evidence of your return travel and accommodation information during your stay. We always recommend that you verify with the specific hire company you're booking with.
