10 tips to save on your Setapak car hire

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting vehicle type and desired features. Whether you're looking for an SUV for extra space, a convertible for summer drives, or an economy car for budget-friendly travel, use Expedia's filters to identify the best option for your trip.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices fluctuate with demand, so it's advisable to reserve your vehicle well ahead of your travel date. Booking in advance often secures lower rates and improves availability, particularly during peak seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Typically, smaller vehicles are more affordable to rent and easier to park in crowded areas. Mid-size rentals strike a good balance between cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  4. Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily surcharges, and specific vehicle types—such as SUVs or premium models—might not be available. This policy can also apply to renters over 70. Always verify the age requirements before finalizing your booking.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rental agreements require a full-to-full fuel policy, which means you must return the car with a full tank to avoid extra fees. This is often the most advantageous option. Others may have full-to-empty or prepaid fueling options, which can also be acceptable. Just remember to return the vehicle empty in such cases.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at airports typically incurs a surcharge, but the added convenience may justify the extra cost.
  7. Know your payment options: Many car rental companies only accept credit cards for payment.
  8. Understand your insurance coverage: Car rental insurance can help minimize unexpected expenses and provides peace of mind should anything unforeseen occur during your trip. Adding car rental insurance when booking through Expedia is straightforward.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you're planning extensive road trips, search for rentals that offer unlimited mileage to avoid additional charges.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is necessary to rent a car.

Each rental car company has its own terms and conditions for younger drivers, so it'd be wise to do your research.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Setapak?
A comprehensive insurance plan is a wise idea for your upcoming Setapak vacation. That's why we recommend choosing collision protection while reserving your car rental with Expedia. This covers your vehicle from theft, accident damage and vandalism. Some destinations may require a minimum level of liability insurance. This might be included in your rental cost or your own auto insurance, so check what you're covered for.
Can I drive in Setapak with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license issued in Malaysia, then you may need to acquire an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country to be able to rent a car. Also consider that if you do need an IDP, it has no validity on its own. You'll be asked to show your current license your passport and other forms of identification as well. Lastly, make sure the credit card you used to book the rental vehicle matches the name on your driver's license and passport. A few other things to note to rent a car internationally are:

  • Age restrictions: You must be at least 25 in many countries to rent a car. If you're younger, it may still be possible to rent a car but you'll have to pay a Young Driver's Surcharge. Additional restrictions may also apply to the types of cars you can rent.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the rules and regulations before you drive off the lot. You typically can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or on certain types of rugged terrain with your rental car.
