Visiting Malaysia.

1- i have not tried but my friends rented a nice card for about 1800rm a month.

2- it depends where your headed, for withing KL train is fantastic, and inter city buses are neat and tidy too.

3- IN KL and main Cities not a problem, its safe to roam around

4- well if your taking the cabs, make sure that your on a metered cab, this is number one rule , you can take a fast train from KLIA to KL sentral for 35rm, takes only 28 minutes, bin tang area is pretty hapening and nice foods.

hi, am not sure about car rent as i am not living in KL, but i give  you a few tips:-

1. if you stay in a hotel, make sure all of your important things keep along with you everywhere you go..do not leave it in a hotel room..sometimes the worker will thieves it..but this not always happened..just sometimes..

2. if you roaming around the street/city do not place you money in a bag or wallet..place it somewhere..there are robbers everywhere..one of my tourist friend keep his money inside his pants..not in a pocket..

Hi, welcome to Malaysia soon. Below are my comments:
1) Driving from Penang to Langkawi? Both of them are islands thus i recommend you to travel by sea instead to Langkawi. Anyway if you really want to drive there, try avis.com.my

2)Between the cities, bus would be more convenience compared to trains but within Kuala Lumpur city, trains would be much faster

3)Avoid dark alleys as crime can happen anywhere

4)Not all shops accept credit cards so do prepare cash whenever you need to. Do have umbrella with you whenever you travel in Malaysia as rain can pour down anytime. Enjoy
