If you've found a place that does cater to drivers under 25, take note that extra costs may apply. Do some research into any extra charges before booking your rental car.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Kota Kinabalu?
After carefuly planning your big trip, don't scrimp on safety — purchase collision protection while booking your Kota Kinabalu rental vehicle with Expedia. There are numerous advantages to this plan, including up to $35,000 in primary coverage for theft, accident damage and vandalism. Plus, with a zero-dollar deductible and 24-hour emergency support, you can breathe a little easier should a mishap occur.
Can I drive in Kota Kinabalu with my current driver's license?
If you don't hold a driver's license issued in Malaysia, then you might need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your place of residence to be allowed to rent a car. It's also important to note that if an IDP is required, it won't be valid on its own. You'll need to show your current license your passport and other forms of identification as well. Lastly, make sure the credit card used to book the rental matches the name on your license and passport. Some other requirements for international car rentals are:

  • Age restrictions: You must be at least 25 in most countries to rent a car. If you're younger, it might still be possible to rent a car but you'll have to pay a Young Driver's Surcharge. Additional restrictions may also apply to what kinds of cars you can rent.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you drive away. With rental cars, you usually can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or on off-road areas with your rental car.
