Langkawi is a great place to explore by car. The island can easily be circled in a day, but to visit all the beautiful beaches, different shopping areas, great restaurants and dozens of attractions at leisure and discover your own Langkawi, we recommend a hire car for at least three days.
Being an island there are a limited number of rental cars, and during conferences, local holidays and other periods it can be impossible to rent at short notice. We strongly advise you book your car well ahead.
Langkawi is a duty free island so cars are cheap to buy, and also cheap to rent. Economy models start at just RM 80 (approx Euro 17) per day or RM 560 (approx Euro 120) a week. Luxury cars, jeeps, vans, 4WD and wagons can be rented for RM 200 (approx Euro 43) or less per day or RM 1,400 (approx Euro 300) per week.







Most returning guests rent a car for their entire stay. There is little traffic and people drive slowly. Cars can be picked up and dropped at the airport or at your hotel.
At present there are no major car hire companies on the island, but we have found the most reliable local operators for Langkawi Insiders.
