KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Kuala Terengganu

  • Although Kuala Terengganu has some local buses, there aren't a lot of public transport options for visitors in this part of Malaysia. This makes choosing car hire in Kuala Terengganu an excellent option, especially if you want to explore outside the city and visit popular attractions, like the Taman Tasik Kuala Nerus Park and Gardens or the Panuk Bukit Maras hiking area, which have no public transport links to the centre.
  • If you are flying into Kuala Terengganu, you'll find some on-site car hire agencies at Sultan Mahmood Airport (TGG). If you are picking your car up as soon as you land, you can find on-site branches located inside the Arrivals Terminal near the exit overlooking the main car park. You can also find Kuala Terengganu car hire agencies located just a 5 to 10-minute taxi ride from the terminals. If you pick up your hire car at TGG terminals, you can reach Kuala Terengganu city centre from the airport in around 15 minutes, compared with around an hour on public transport.
  • When you choose car hire in Kuala Terengganu, it is a good idea to learn something about Malaysian driving customs and conventions before you travel. Fortunately for drivers, Kuala Terengganu generally has well-maintained roads and the motorways around the city are spacious. Malaysian drivers are also usually quite courteous and drive quite slowly, so you should stick to the speed limit and be prepared to brake in heavy traffic. One thing to watch out for if you are driving on motorways around Kuala Terengganu is that local drivers may not indicate before changing lanes. However, you can combat this by keeping your speed low and staying vigilant, so you are ready to move if somebody merges in unexpectedly.
  • Although driving in Kuala Terengganu is quite calm, you'll still find heavy traffic on the motorways around the city, especially during peak times. Rush hour in Kuala Terengganu usually falls between 07:00 to 10:00 and 16:00 to 20:00, so you may want to set out later in the day, and return in the evening if you’re planning a day trip and want to avoid traffic. Major roads leading in and out of Kuala Terengganu, such as the T4, Route 14, and Route 3, are usually the most affected by traffic congestion.
