Driving in Penang
Major car rental companies like Hertz, Avis, and local providers operate in Penang. Daily rental costs typically range from 100 to 200 MYR depending on the vehicle type. Drivers must hold a valid international or Malaysian driving license and be at least 21 years old, with some companies requiring a minimum age of 23 or 25. Roads are generally in good condition, but traffic congestion can occur in George Town. Parking is available but limited in busy areas; using public transport or walking is often easier. From a tourist’s perspective, renting a car is not essential for exploring Penang’s main attractions, especially in George Town and nearby areas, where public transport and walking are convenient. However, a car rental may be useful for visiting more remote parts of the island or for travelers seeking flexibility.
