The staff at the rental place were super helpful and friendly. They patiently explained how the Malaysian highways work with the EasyGo toll card, and the best part was they even lent me an EasyGo card for free. That really saved me a lot of hassle on the rest of my road trip.

Our flight landed after midnight and the rental company still had someone waiting for us, which was really nice. The handover was super smooth, and returning the car was even easier—just dropped it off with the valet. The car itself was fairly standard, but Penang isn’t that big, so having any car already makes getting around much more convenient. Gas in Malaysia is amazingly cheap, almost on par with Dubai, so driving yourself is definitely worth it. Parking is a bit more expensive compared to back home in China, but still within a reasonable range.

Super satisfied with this car rental experience! The Proton Saga was in great condition, comfortable to drive, strong A/C, and very fuel‑efficient. We drove around Malaysia for a few days and it handled both city streets and highways really well. Plenty of space in the car—perfect for two people with luggage. Great value for money and a really good option for exploring Malaysia.

Booked a Honda City but they upgraded me for free to a Hyundai KONA (2.0, 7‑speed). Drove it in sport mode up to the sacred mountain and it was seriously punchy, easy to keep up with the local Malaysian drivers. Totally changed how I think about Hyundai.

If anything came up, we could just drop a message in the group and they replied really fast. After we got home, they even followed up to check whether we arrived safely—super responsible! The car itself was in good condition, the AC worked great, and it was fairly fuel-efficient. The car was also spotless when we picked it up. Overall, really satisfied.
