Frequently asked questions

Can I book now and pay later for my car rental in Penang?
Secure your wheels without paying upfront with our Book Now Pay Later option. When you go to collect your car in Penang, just have whoever's driving hand over a valid credit card to pay in full. The rental car company will also place a hold on your credit card in the amount of the deposit. It's a terrific way to help you budget for your vacation and give you more payment flexibility. Keep in mind that prepayment applies to some cheaper deals. Expedia search results will display if a car is eligible for "pay at pickup."
What happens if I need to cancel my Penang car reservation?
No worries! If you can cancel your reservation more than six hours before pickup, you'll most likely receive all of your money back. It's a good idea to scan your cancellation policy as there are some exceptions. Click through to our Customer Service Portal if you're unsure of anything.
What types of cars can I rent in Penang?
Dash around in a nifty mini, style it up in a premium ride or go for something in the middle, like a mid-size. But it's hard to beat a compact car — the top choice in Penang. They're a snap to handle and park, fuel-efficient and a great idea if you're driving around bustling cities. An upgrade from economy, you can expect a little more comfort and room at a price that's still nice.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Penang?
Drivers aged 21 and above can get on the road in Penang in a rental car. If you're a young motorist, a daily surcharge will apply. You'll usually have fewer car categories to pick from, such as compact and mid-size, and may also have to purchase an all-inclusive insurance rate. Always enter the correct age of the primary driver when booking to find out if any extra fees or restrictions apply.
What do you need to rent a car in Penang?
The main things are a valid driver's license and a credit card in your name. Car rental companies will offer you insurance, which is optional. But you may be asked to provide proof of other coverage if you choose to opt out. Be sure to check with your rental provider to avoid any issues.
Can I drive in Penang with my U.S. Driver's license?
Your U.S. License won't be enough for you to motor around Penang. You'll also require an International Driving Permit which contains your driver details, name and photo. Apply for this permit ahead of your trip.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Penang?
Whether you have plans to stay in Penang or venture beyond, it's easy to reserve a long-term rental with Expedia. Enter your trip information and pick-up/drop-off locations and we'll find you amazing long-term car rental deals.
Where can I find a Penang car rental if I am younger than 25?
If you're a young driver hoping to rent a vehicle in Penang, we recommend reading the terms and conditions of the rental companies you're interested in. Some may rent to drivers under the age of 25, some may not. Surcharges may apply if you're between 21 and 24 years old. To avoid any unwanted surprises at the rental counter, make sure you know if any extra charges apply to you.
