Malaysia Self Drive Holiday

Malaysia is a fantastic destination for Self Drive Holidays and car rental in Malaysia is a very popular option.

Driving is on the left, signs are in English, roads are generally very good and the driving is a high standard in comparison to most of Asia.

Moreover, Malaysia has a great driving route which usually means heading north from Kuala Lumpur to the Cameron Highlands or Taman Negara National Park (or both) before hitting the West Coast and driving up to Penang.

This 12 night Malaysia self-drive holiday begins with 3 nights in Kuala Lumpur with a Full day Kuala Lumpur City Tour and a Full Day Private Day Tour to Malacca.

From Kuala Lumpur pick up your rental car and drive into the Cameron Highlands which is a pleasure to drive.

Two nights in the Cameron Highlands is ample time to explore before heading down to the West Coast and up to Penang.

Enjoy a guided excursion in Penang before flying on to Langkawi where your Malaysia journey culminates. We have included car rental in Langkawi also as it's an easy island to drive around and there's plenty to explore.

As with all of our Malaysia holidays, this one can be amended to suit you, so just let us know your preferences.
