  • Whether you go with Hertz or another supplier, double-check the coverage on your Kuantan car rental. Some companies include a collision damage waiver (CDW), while others offer it as a paid extra.

  • Look into getting a one-way rental. You might be able to score a bargain if the provider needs to move vehicles between sites. Discover the best available rates for a car for rent in Kuantan by selecting 'Return car to a different location.'

  • Save money on fuel by choosing a car rental in Kuantan with a 'Fair fuel policy.' You collect the car with a full tank and refill it before drop-off, so you're only paying for what you use.

Insurance and optional extras

  • Car rental excess insurance isn't a necessity, but is something to think about. If your car is damaged, no matter how minor, it can help you avoid paying a hefty excess fee.

Good to know

  • Age requirements often vary by company and even car type, so know the rules before you book. Some suppliers in Malaysia may rent to younger drivers for an extra fee. If you fall outside the typical age range, just uncheck 'Driver aged between 25–70' and then enter how old you are to explore your options.

  • Add a car seat to your Kuantan car rental booking if you're traveling with small kids. Regulations change from place to place, but using a child seat suited to their age, weight and size is always the safest approach.
