If you're younger than 23, it's unlikely you'll find somewhere to rent a car from in Kuching. Between the ages of 23 and 25, you're likely to be charged a young driver surcharge on top of your rental. Before heading to the car rental places, make sure you have your confirmation details, a valid credit card with your name on it, and photo identification like a passport. Bear in mind that you'll need the same credit card used to make the online booking and the owner of the card must be present.

  • What are the rules for driving in Kuching?

    In order to keep yourself and your fellow drivers safe, it's important to know what the rules of the road are in Kuching.
