Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Mabul Island car reservation?
We all have times when even the best-laid plans go wrong. That's why we give a full refund on the majority of prepaid rentals if you cancel at least six hours before collecting the car. Be sure to double-check the cancellation policy — in some cases it's not available. Can't find anything there? Our Customer Service Portal has more useful information.
What types of cars can I rent in Mabul Island?
Whatever suits your style! Go for a mid-size or full-size if you're with the family, or scale up to a premium if it's sophistication you're after. Or, choose an economy model — the most booked rental in Mabul Island. Affordable and with awesome mileage, they're a good match for solo travellers, couples or anyone else who doesn't need a large amount of room. They're especially suited to city driving. Zipping into narrow parking spots will be a cinch!

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Mabul Island?
You'll need to be 21 and over to get behind the wheel of a rental car in Mabul Island. Keep in mind that young drivers may be restricted to renting from a few car categories, such as compact and economy. Higher age limits generally apply for larger vehicles like premium SUVs.

What do you need to rent a car in Mabul Island?
Before you can get behind the wheel in Mabul Island, you'll need a driver's licence and a credit card that matches the name on your licence. If you choose not to take out the company's insurance plan, you may also have to show proof of your own coverage. Rules may vary, so read the policy terms and conditions before you select a rental company.
What side of the road do you drive on in Mabul Island?
If you're renting a vehicle in Mabul Island or planning a road trip around Malaysia, you'll be driving on the left-hand side. Also, the driver's seat and some controls will be on the opposite side of what you're accustomed to in the U.S. This may feel unfamiliar at first, so take things slow to begin with.

Yes, and you'll find your ideal set of wheels on our long-term car rental deals page. Just enter your trip dates and we'll show you excellent options from a range of reliable companies.

Some may rent to drivers under 25, some may not. There may be additional fees if you're between 21 and 24 years old. To escape any surprises at the rental counter, make sure you know what to expect.
