Malaysia offers an excellent transportation system that is both affordable and convenient. There are various modes of transportation to move around the country.

Renting a Car

International Driving Permit

When driving in Malaysia, tourists who are living outside Malaysia or South East Asia must obtain an International Driving Permit (IDP). Despite Singapore being part of the ASEAN countries, individuals with a Singaporean driver's license are not permitted to use it when driving a Malaysian car in Malaysia. Therefore, even if one is residing in Singapore, they must still obtain an IDP for their driver's license. The IDP is available to anyone who is at least eighteen years old and possesses a valid driver's license that will remain valid for at least one more year.
