Car Rental in Kuala Lumpur

Car Rental in Kuala Lumpur Opens Up World of Possibilities!

Kuala Lumpur is one of Southeast Asia’s most modern cities. Regardless of whether you are making Kuala Lumpur as your first stop in your Southeast Asian journey, a pitstop or even a full-blown vacation, there is something for everyone in Kuala Lumpur. A car rental in Kuala Lumpur gives you unprecedented freedom in exploring the city and beyond.

Many people know Kuala Lumpur to be the capital city of Malaysia but few actually know that it is also one of the federal territories of the country. When travellers talk about Kuala Lumpur, the obvious attractions such as the Petronas Twin Towers, the shopping district in Bukit Bintang, the historical Merdeka Square and Petaling Street immediately comes to mind.

What many people do not realize is that there are a myriad of experiences to explore in the Greater Kuala Lumpur. Known by the locals as Klang Valley, the Greater Kuala Lumpur refers to adjoining suburban areas and satellite towns from the state of Selangor. These cities are typically integrated and well-connected by expressways and world class roads, making driving a pleasurable and safe affair. This also means that beyond the confinements of the formally known Kuala Lumpur, is a great land mass of experiences awaiting the traveller.

With this in mind, Hawk Rent A Car urges you to look beyond the confinements of the tourist version of Kuala Lumpur. We beckon you to explore the surrounding areas with the autonomy of your Hawk rental car. The adjoining cities are typically 30 – 40 minutes apart from each other and the distances are typically manageable with the many expressways serving various connections. Add on a GPS device rental on top of your car rental in Kuala Lumpur to reap the most out of your journey.

Within the Greater Kuala Lumpur

Does Ampang, Bangsar, Hartamas, Damansara, Sunway and Petaling Jaya all ring a bell? Definitely not for foreigners, of course. But plenty of metropolitan Malaysians live in these cities that make up the whole of Greater Kuala Lumpur. Ask any of the people from these suburbs and they can easily lead you to the nooks and crannies holding some hidden gems that are off the radar of a typical tourist. Time Out KL has just about all grounds covered with their comprehensive KL city and area guide.

Beyond the Greater Kuala Lumpur

Want to escape the city? Well, if you have 40 minutes to an hour of driving time, you can. The transition from city to greens is pretty easy in Malaysia really. All you need is a car rental in Kuala Lumpur.

Just need a quick breath of fresh air? The Forest Reserve Institute Malaysia is no more than 40 minutes away from the city centre. A canopy walkway through the jungle in the middle of a metropolitan city – who would have thought?

If you would like to visit lush green or golden paddy fields, head to the small town of Sekinchan and bask in the glorious rice bowl of Malaysia. Retreat to the tree house by the beach and visit the traditional fishing villages.

Keen to see some elephants? The Kuala Gandah Elephant Sanctuary is right at the tip of Pahang, accessible by anyone from Kuala Lumpur with a car.

Want a reprieve from the tropical heat? Genting Highlands is Malaysia’s most famous casino located on a hilltop in Pahang. If you have 2 hours to spare and prefer somewhere more exclusive and away from the crowd, Fraser’s Hill is accessible to you too.

Kuala Lumpur – The Centre of Malaysia

Off to explore the whole of Malaysia? Regardless of whether you choose to shoot northwards or go southwards, the drive (assuming without stops) either way should take you no more than 5 hours. Driving a whole country is no longer a dream! Read our Road Trip Guide to find out more.
