Car rental Malacca

Drive on the Left Side of the Road

Pleasant news for Brits: like in the UK, Malaysians drive on the left side of the road. So, you won't have any difficulty adapting to the road rules here.

Strict Speed Limits

Bear in mind, the speed limit for highways in Malaysia is normally at 90 km/h while for expressways it’s 110 km/h. These are strictly enforced, so it's crucial to abide by these rules to avoid any unwanted fines.

Memorable Routes

Travel along the North-South Highway for a quick and direct route from the airport to Malacca city centre. For breath-taking coastal views, opt for Route 5, which hugs the west coast. For history buffs, follow the Malacca Heritage Trail to explore over 30 historic sites and museums.

Attractions at Your Own Pace

• Visit the iconic red terracotta Dutch Square.
• Explore Malacca’s cultural diversity at Jonker Street’s bustling night market.
• Immerse yourself in history at the Stadthuys, the oldest Dutch building in the East.

Malacca's Landscape and Climate

Malacca is blessed with a tropical rainforest climate, with temperatures ranging from 23°C to 32°C year-round. The scenery is a charming blend of historic architecture, modern buildings, vibrant street art, and green outskirts to retreat from the city life.

Currency Insights

The local currency is Malaysian Ringgit (MYR) and cards are widely accepted. However, it's handy to keep some cash for smaller establishments and hawker stalls that may not accept cards

Annual Events

Time your trip with the Jonker Street Lunar New Year celebration, a vibrant event with traditional dance, music and firecracker displays. Or try the Malacca River Festival with exciting water sports and cultural performances.
