Getting Around Malaysia

By Car

Driving in Malaysia isn't significantly different from driving in Singapore. Here are some tips to keep in mind:

Always be courteous and use your signals when turning or changing lanes. Yield to other drivers who signal, and you'll often find that they do the same for you.
Avoid hogging the first lane if you're not maintaining a consistent speed.
Ensure you have your Touch 'n Go (TNG) card ready for toll booths to prevent lane blockages.
Never leave valuables in your car, or if you must, keep them out of sight when parked.

By Grab

Luckily, GrabCar operates in Malaysia and functions similarly to its counterpart in Singapore. Ensure you accurately input your destination when booking. Since many locals may not be proficient in English, if you're unable to speak or understand Bahasa Melayu, you might encounter difficulty communicating with the driver.
