Car Rentals in Kota Kinabalu

A credit card is required for car rentals in Kota Kinabalu. A credit card must be used for car rental online payment and pay the deposit at pick-up.

When you pick up your car, you'll need to provide the following:
1. Your pick-up voucher.
2. The original copy of your driving license (which must meet the rental supplier's requirements), and a valid ID.
3. A credit card with sufficient balance (you may need to provide 2 cards for some high-end car models). The rental supplier in Kota Kinabalu will pre-authorize the deposit amount.

Generally, car rentals in Kota Kinabalu only rent cars to customers aged 18 and over, and some suppliers may charge an additional fixed fee to younger drivers (for example, those aged 25 and under). For detailed license requirements, please refer to the rental supplier's terms and conditions.

If you cancel your booking before the free cancellation deadline, you'll receive a full refund. After this time, you'll need to pay a fee for cancellation. Once you've picked up your car, you won't be able to cancel your booking. You also won't be able to cancel if you don't show up to pick up your car at the designated time (this is sometimes called a "no show").

Temporary car rentals can be expensive due to the ongoing shortage of cars in Kota Kinabalu. We recommend renting a car as early as possible. This will get you a good price and avoid last minute stress after a long flight.
