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.

Kota Kinabalu International Airport is the main air terminal for the state capital of Sabah, Malaysia as well as flights into Borneo. It is located less than 5 miles southwest of Kota Kinabalu city centre.

This commercial airport sees 4 million tourists pass through annually, however its early years were spent as a military airbase. Built by Japanese occupying forces, it was then known as Jessleton Airfield.

By the Fifties, the airfield underwent redevelopment as a commercial and passenger flight destination. In January 2007, a second terminal was opened to handle large, international aircraft. The airport's runways are currently being lengthened to handle Airbus 380s which is expected to triple the airport's flights and passenger numbers.

Terminal 1 is Kota Kinablu International Airport's main terminal and features duty free shopping, car hire, several waiting lounges, a selection of restaurants and many small kiosks. The main airline in this terminal is Malaysia Airlines. Other airlines operating here are: Cathay Pacific, Singapore Airlines and Korean Air.

Terminal 2 was the airport's original terminal and has undergone refurbishment in recent years. It features a VIP lounge, shops, restaurants, car hire and travel agents. This terminal handles flights to China as well as Indonesia.

When arriving into Kota Kinabalu, car hire is strongly recommended. Taxis and public transportation is available, however it can be quite time consuming and is frequently expensive. Car hire can be found at the airport easily, from: Level 1, Lot 39.

During your stay in beautiful Kota Kinabalu and Borneo, a car hire will allow you to visit beautiful attractions such as: Kinabalu National Park (60 miles), Lok Kwai Zoo (14 miles), Tanjung Aru beach resort (4 miles), Crocker Range National Park (50 miles), Rafflesia Wildlife Reserve (20 miles), Tuaran Crocodile Farm (20 miles).
