Dear all, does anyone here have experience of car rental at kota kinabalu airport before? Can you share me some valuable experience? Price? Thks in advance!

my bro in law rented honda city from hertz in kk airport

around rm200 per day iinm, horrible car lel. it's not dirty or old but somehow suspension worse than even kancil

customer service was amazing though, my sis credit card dropped in between seat and center console, they came and helped her to disassemble it and retrieve the card

not airport but fren contact

150/day for bezza x

adequate la to go up kundasang / mount K there

180 per day for honda city.

drove to kundasang and back.

so far ok

Which company?

try bigger cc car if 4-5 ppls, bezza too weak to climb

haha yea. me 2 ppl going dairy farm, really had to press pedal to the max

I rented car in sabah tawau before.

Just make sure the fuel policy is full to full.

Not empty to empty.

Kena tipu 15 years ago maybe. Still remember and bitter about it.

If go kundasang with 3-4 people better take 1.8-2.0 car..later kena potong by 4x4 hilux and van

We drove to kindangsang on myvi. Just nice though on certain stretches, have to shift down to 3rd gear. 4 pax.

First time drove bezza recently, that car is weak even if it’s empty

ayam interested. Rent from which kampeni paling safe? Can rent children car seat?

Download the app Trevo
It’s like Airbnb for car

Used it in Penang , langkawi

I use socar. rent a hyundai kona for few days.

Europcar @ KK airport. Not the best car but the cars are decent. Around Rm150-200 depending on time and season.

no point having powerful car when the whole road is jam like shit

bezza 1.0 or 1.3?

Last time use trevo. Proton X70 RM280 for 2 days with new user discount.

the last time i rented car in sabah was before covid.
the experience was good, but a bit weird.

> i started with finding available car from rental website, fill in info, paid, get e-receipt
> on the day to pick up car, get msg whatsapp from rental PIC, with instructions, car plate number, model, color, etc.
> walk out the airport, went to said location, the car is parked there, unlocked, keys inside. just drive away.
> on the day of return, also just drop the car at the airport, with car key inside, inform the PIC, walk way.

the whole process, no human intervention.
oh ya, got option for if u choose full tank upon pick up, u hav to return with full tank.
if no such option, it means they will only giv u minimum fuel to start wit, only able to make it to the nearest petrol station.

both version also underpowered.
if u drive alone, or with 1 passenger, ok la.
with wit luggage, & more passengers, the engine struggles & drinks petrol like no tomorrow.
