i think the car rental price u quote there is way too expensive. 2 weeks ago i went there i got an Iswara 3d2n (around 50 hours) for rm140. n its during holiday period too.

n personally i would seriously advice u not to go to the Underwater World. utter waste of money.  doh.gif
*
The car rental price might varies from vendors, and also your bargain technique and numbers of days you rent it, i believe biggrin.gif

And yes, i read that someone said the Underwater World is even sucky than our KLCC Aquaria, lol! I think I would want to skip this as well rolleyes.gif

as a person who stay in langkawi for 2 years, be careful when u want to rent a car.. lots of them trying to cheat u..charge u super expensive but ..(air-con sux, car condition very bad,etc) hopefully u can find a nice car vendor..

usually for those who want to have fun:
-rent a bicycle..ha ha..foreigner usually did this.total length of langkawi road is roughly around 55km only..
-go langkawi by train.."katil" seat cost around rm 40..stop at perlis then fetch ferry..
p/s: if u have kids/cousins/wat ever relative in mrsm langkawi, use them properly!!
mrsm offer one full apartment 4 room 2 toilet with air-con at most rm50 per day..the teacher there also have rent car service which u can have sporty honda civic around rm50-rm70 per day..

i like the idea of cycling! laugh.gif
