Hi peeps, i em planning for a week roadtrip from JB to Penang and i em looking to rent a car, perhaps a spacious car like 6 seater or 7 seater. Any recommended & reliable platform/ app/ car rental service can share? I have a baby and elderly, safety of the car is one of my concern.
Been reading reviews of GoCar & Trevo, the experience shared are too horrible for me to try their service.
Thanks in advance~!  tongue.gif

Just curious. Why is gocar and Trevor bad?

Not tried Trevo but I know a few friends rents out cars on the platform.

Maybe can try SoCar. I have rented from that platform a few times and has been good. If you renting a week then the mileage limitations isn't a problem. The daily allocation is quite generous.

socar/gocar is your only option if you want unlimited mileage

just make sure you buy the mileage package in socar accordingly as it cannot be added later after the booking
so far my experience with socar: all the car i rented reeks, so prepare your own fabreeze/air sanitizer (i've rented CX5/X70/Corolla Cross/Ioniq, most are around 40-50k km mileage, with the exception of cx5, which is 120k km)
car works pretty ok mechanically, no weird sound, drives straight, brakes well, corners well, suspension still works and bushing intact, so it's pretty refined
one thing to note though, most of the case you'll get rojak tires all round (i.e. 3x brand A, and 1x brand B, or 2x A and 2x B)

i've only rented gocar once, the car is very new (3k km only, still have the new car smell) so it's as good as what you can get

I was a frequent SOCAR renter when they first started so probably all the vehicles were new. (I was between cars) Not had a bad car and customer rep was good. It must have gone down the drain since. But I do find the more premium offerings tend to be in better shape.
