Car Size Recommendation

Considering Malaysia's moderate traffic compared to Western countries, a compact or mid-sized car is ideal for navigating Penang's charmingly narrow streets.

What To Expect

Driving is on the left in Malaysia, and posted signs are majorly in Bahasa Malaysia. However, most local residents speak English, so getting directions or assistance should not be an issue. Don't forget to keep an ample amount of loose change for possible toll fees on the highways.

Climate and Currency

The climatic condition of Penang is typically humid throughout the year, with temperatures ranging between 22°C - 32°C. The currency recognized here is Malaysian Ringgit (MYR). The availability of ATMs at the airport and across the city offers an easy currency exchange option.

Things to Remember

  1. International Driving Permit (IDP) is required along with the home country driving license.
  2. Seatbelts are mandatory for all persons in the car.
  3. The national speed limit on highways is 110 km/h.

Exploring Penang and Beyond

Further afield, connect with nature at Penang National Park or chill on the gorgeous beaches of Batu Ferringhi - both less than an hour's drive away. Let the adventure begin!
