Driving Tips for Malaysia
Exploring Malaysia by car is an excellent way to reach its cities, countryside, and beaches. Here are some tips to make your drive more convenient:
- Roundabouts and Signage: Malaysia uses roundabouts, also known as rotaries, at many intersections. Yield to vehicles already in the roundabout. Luckily, most roundabouts have clear signage directing traffic flow.
- Weather Conditions: Sudden rain showers are common, especially during the monsoon season. Ensure your vehicle's windshield wipers and tires are in good condition and reduce speed on wet roads.
- Gas Stations: Gas stations are plentiful along highways and in cities. However, the farther out you get, the harder they may be to find. Fill up your tank before heading to remote areas.
- Rush Hour Awareness: In major cities like Kuala Lumpur, rush hour traffic can be dense, particularly in the mornings and evenings. Plan your trips accordingly to avoid delays.
By following these tips, driving a rental car in Malaysia will help you get the most out of your trip while ensuring a safe and smooth journey.
