Advices for Car Trips through Malaysia
25. Summer remains the most favorable period for traveling by private car. During this season the number of cars on the roads of resort towns and the capital is minimal. When autumn starts, numerous local residents and foreign tourists arrive at resorts, so the number of vehicles on the roads is several times more than in summer.
26. Drivers should not forget about a huge number of monkeys in the country. In Malaysia, monkeys are particularly respected, so they can often run out on the road. That is another reason to drive as slow as possible.
27. Drivers should completely forget about the use of alcoholic beverages. Malaysia in general is distinguished by very negative attitude to alcohol consumption, so driving while intoxicated is considered one of the most serious violations.
Renting a Car in Malaysia - Recommendations
If you need a car with an automatic transmission, it is recommended to book it in advance. Cars with automatic transmissions are often sparse in Malaysia, so the rental confirmation may take a longer period.
When selecting a specific model for traveling throughout Malaysia, we recommend to take into consideration some practical apects. If you are going to drive mostly in the cities, then a car of a small size is preferable, while for long distance trips (and trips in the mountains) we recommend to choose a larger and more powerful car.
Prior your car retrun, please clean the salon from a garbage, and do not forget to take away all your belongings from the passenger compartment.
At the car return time, please ask the officer to make a visual inspection of the vehicle for defects and to sign the acceptance report. Keep the invoice and the acceptance report for next few months.

29. When traveling on country and mountain roads, motorists may encounter unambiguous signs that mark the beginning of a private land. It is strictly prohibited to enter such a territory. In most cases, you will find it easy to find a bypass road.
30. To ensure the safety of road traffic, many large roads have a special lane for motorbikes and bicycles (as a rule, the extreme left one). Car drivers are not allowed to occupy such lanes.
31. If it is very simple to find a petrol station in the city, but in some suburban areas they are very rare. The distance between the nearest petrol stations may vary from 25 to 70km, so it is better to purchase some fuel in advance.
32. The majority of petrol stations are self-service ones. First you need to make the payment through the cashier and tell the number of the filling station. After this, you can go back and fill the tank.
34. There are special recreation areas along major roads, and travellers will see small shops and restaurants literally everywhere.
35. Local drivers are distinguished by very careful attitude to other road users. If there is a trouble, they will certainly help. So, if you suddenly ran out of petrol or your car is broken down, local people will never refuse to help and are very likely not to accept money for their help.
36. Foreign drivers find it very difficult to drive in new cities with their quickly built new roads. Streets in these cities look almost identical, so inexperienced drivers will easily get lost there.
