VSH take

The search box above is from Localrent, which works with local rental companies abroad. It is set to Malaysia for now: pick a city and dates, then tap Find to see cars and prices from local suppliers. Localrent does not cover Canada or the USA, so for those, compare the big rental brands directly.

Before you book, check the insurance excess (what you pay after damage), the deposit held on your card, the fuel policy (full-to-full is usually cheapest) and mileage limits. Many countries ask for an International Driving Permit along with your licence.

FAQ

Do I need a credit card to rent a car?

Most companies need a card in the main driver's name for the deposit. Some local suppliers accept a cash deposit; check the offer details.

What is an insurance excess?

It is the most you pay if the car is damaged. Lower excess costs more per day but limits your risk.
