High-quality roads and relatively cheap fuel price make Malaysia a pleasant country for a road trip. Travelling around Malaysia is facilitated by the fact that English is widely used in important public places, such as tourist attractions, airports, railway stations and immigration checkpoints. Here is a brief driving guide aiming at easing your mind when planning a trip to Malaysia.
Driving in Malaysia is on the left, as road and cars follow the British system. Highways or expressways feature frequent resting areas with gas stations and restaurants. Driving in the country’s largest cities such as Kuala Lumpur can sometimes be challenging due to the dense traffic and one-way roads.
Speed LimitThere are speed limits of 110 km/h on expressways, 90 km/h on state and federal roads and 60 km/h in town areas.
Traffic SignsThere are three major types of traffic signs in Malaysia: warning, regulatory and information signs.
Warning signs are diamond-shaped and feature yellow and black colours, with a few exceptions.
 Obstacles Ahead |  Climbing Lane |  Descent Lane |  Caution! Hump |  Level Crossing Without Gate Ahead |  Level Crossing With Gate Ahead |  Caution! Accident Area Sign |
Malaysian regulatory signs are usually circular with a white background, a red border, and black pictograms, and are sometimes written in Malay.
 Stop Sign |  Stop, Children Crossing |  Give way/Yield |  No Overtaking |  Speed Limit |
Malaysian information signs feature a square shape with various colour backgrounds.

Seatbelt LawsThe driver and passengers sitting in the front or rear are required by law to wear a seatbelt.
Booster Seat LawsAll children must wear a seat belt when travelling in Malaysia and it is against the law for a child under 4 years of age to sit in the front seat. At present, children are not required by law to be seated in a child car seat. However, this is is expected to be compulsory by 2019.
ParkingParking areas are designated zones in Malaysia. Some parking areas are municipal and others are private. It is advisable to check with your hotel to see if there is a secure parking space in cities like Kuala Lumpur.
· Forbidden Parking
You cannot park your car in the following spaces. Failure to do so may result in a fine:
- Specified by a ‘No-Parking’ sign with a red border, blue background and a red diagonal line, indicating this is a strict no parking area
- With Single and double yellow lines at the side of the road.
- On areas that are tow-away and clamping zones.
· Paid Parking
Municipal parkings use metres and which need to be paid with coins. Coins accepted by parking metreers are 10 cents, 20 cents and 50 cents. Some municipal car parks do not have parking metres but collect the fee manually.
Fuel PricesThe average price for Malaysia gasoline during August to November 2017 is of 2.2 Malaysian Riggit per litre, while diesel average price is at 2.35.
TollMalay has abandoned cash as payment for tolls in expressways since the 14th of August 2017, and utilized Electronic Toll Collection(ETC). Touch 'n Go is the most used electronic payment options. You can purchase the Touch 'n Go Card at relevant hubs, selected petrol stations, selected PETRONAS Stations, LRT Stations and third party agents. Alternatively, you can buy one form the Touch 'n Go Sales Counters located at highways such as PLUS, ELITE, Ampang KL Elevated Highway, Penang Bridge, Besraya, SILK, Linkedua, New Pantai Expressway, Metramac and Shapadu.
DUI LawsA driver is considered to be driving under the influence of alcohol in Malaysia if the blood alcohol level is equal to or over 0.8 grams per litre (g/l). The penalty for the offender is a fine, a court case, or sentencing with a fine and imprisonment of three months to a year depending on the severity of the offence.
Traffic FinesIncorrect parking or speeding in Malaysia frequently result in a fine.
The speed penalties are given according to the difference of the driven speed and the enforced speed limit. Speed limit excess from 1 to 25 km/h will result in an RM80 fine, whereas an excess from 26 to 40 km/h will lead to an RM150 fine and an excess over 40 km/h will trigger an RM300 fine.
To avoid parking fine, always look for parking metres when you have found a parking spot. Fines for failing to display a ticket in a regulated parking bay or car park are issued and collected by the Municipal Council or company responsible for the parking facility. Note that your parking or speeding fines will be collected by the car hire company and debited from your credit card if you fail to pay one.

Do not rent a car from this company! The deposit was charged as a regular payment, and it's been over two months without a refund. I noticed many people had similar experiences based on the reviews. This seems to be a recurring issue.

Overall very satisfied; the car pickup process was smooth. On the way to the hotel, the left mirror hit a road barrier, and there was a small scratch on the car body. The rental company took the car for assessment the day before return and provided a free ride to the airport the next day. The compensation was reasonable, and they provided a receipt from the repair shop.

The staff at Johor Bahru's car rental company were warm and attentive, addressing customers' urgent needs. I originally rented the car through Ctrip, but it was never confirmed. It claimed to confirm within 12 hours, but even after 24 hours, there was no confirmation. If I canceled the order, I would have to bear the loss. I will never choose Ctrip for car rentals again.

Terrible experience. They overcharged for fuel. First, they claimed it was because of arriving a few minutes late to the airport, even though I had already paid the late fee. On top of that, the car delivered did not have a full tank of fuel, and I had to argue with the staff for quite a while. Eventually, they told me to refuel according to the fuel gauge. I took a photo and added 30 MYR worth of fuel, but when I returned the car, the staff deducted 25 MYR without notifying me. The attitude of this rental company was extremely poor. I waited for half an hour for the staff to arrive when returning the car. Everyone, please steer clear of this rental company. Never rent a car from them!

Refunding the deposit is really problematic. Other companies use pre-authorization, but this one insists on charging the credit card. It's better to avoid this car rental company.

The car key is somewhat different from those in China; the lock button is on the logo. Apart from the cheap price, the service speed is much slower and less professional compared to major cities in China. The staff failed to prepare the baby seat in advance, which caused a one-hour delay before we could drive away. The process for picking up and returning the car is very slow, possibly due to the local work pace.

I found out that picking up the car after 5 PM incurs a charge of 150 MYR. I was only 5 minutes late, at 5:05 PM, but they still insisted on charging me. I feel extremely angry. Firstly, I was just 5 minutes late. Secondly, the fee is very unreasonable. It feels like they are trying to make money off situations like this.
