Is Carrentals.co.uk the cheapest?

Yes, we offer a guarantee of the lowest price - because we compare various retailers, we can always offer you the best price in town.

What do I need to do when picking up a car?

To pick up your car, you will need your voucher, passport, driver's license and a credit card. It is very important that your driver's license and credit card are in the same name as the main driver. Keep in mind that the local rental company will reserve a certain amount on your credit card as a deposit. This requires the PIN code for your credit card. If your driver's license is foreign (for example, in Chinese), you must bring a translation with you. Only your original passport and driver's license will be accepted - a copy is not sufficient.

Are there any additional costs?

In general, our rates are all-inclusive. Should there be any additional costs, our booking department will get in touch with you before issuing the invoice. Should you object, you can always cancel your reservation with no obligations attached (at least 48 hours in advance).

What kind of insurance is applicable to my car rental?

In general, Liability Insurance, Fire Insurance, All-Risks Insurance and Theft Insurance are included in the cost of your rental car.

What is a worry-free label?

Only rental companies with a high level of customer satisfaction are eligible to be included in our Worry-Free selection. This rate includes excess cover and unlimited kilometres. Your vehicle will be provided and must be returned with a full tank of fuel. With a vehicle from our Worry-Free selection, you can travel with peace of mind and no hidden costs.

How can I change or cancel my reservation?

You can cancel your reservation through "My Account". We recommend contacting us by phone if your changes to your booking or cancellation takes place at short notice (48 hours or less).

When will I get a confirmation of my booking?

Most reservations will receive confirmation within minutes after payment takes place. We recommend contacting our Booking Department for last minute reservations (pick-up within 48 hours).

Clear information given on types of car and also very important to have the free cancellation feature so prices could be monitored and booking altered if prices came down. The site was among some of the most competitive prices compared to other sites, and clearer in what was included and excluded in the rental.

Guide

One of Malaysia’s most popular tourist attractions is an island located off its west coast, not far from Thailand. The lush undulating island of Penang has a curious colonial past and distinctly Chinese influence. Both ancient and modern, urban and rural, this island has much to offer. If you would like the freedom to travel around and explore the island, we highly advise you book car hire in Penang. Avoid cramped buses, and and busy tourist excursions and opt for car hire as your choice of transport.

Explore Penang

Georgetown is the only significant settlement on this large island, and is surprisingly developed with high-rise hotels and good tourist facilities. Its lovely tree-lined avenues and orderly suburbs give it a definite colonial feel and there are many abandoned or restored neo-colonial mansions and ex-government buildings around the city. The crumbling old terraced houses and trading stores of Chinatown will delight those who wander the backstreets. The waterfront area is cosmopolitan with modest beaches, clustered around Lebuh Chulia and Jalan Penang, and great curries are found in the Little India section.

Fort Cornwallis in the centre of Georgetown, dates from the late 1700s when the British arrived and began building a settlement here. It is now surrounded by a park and includes the bizarre Seri Rambai cannon (c 1600s) supposedly having procreative powers!.

Khoo Kongsi is a fine example of an active Chinese temple in the city and Kuan Yin Teng Temple is another place to observe Chinese religious rituals.

Penang Hill rises up behind Georgetown and a furnicular can take you to the top to wander about the forest, admire the excellent views and visit the interesting Mosque and Hindu temple.

Several beaches and resorts are dotted about the island, and it’s interior is largely mountainous. The most developed and comfortable area is Batu Feringhu in the north. The west coast is largely inaccessible but there are some curious fishing villages in the south and a number of temples worth visiting. The botanical garden is also recommended.
