What types of cars can I rent in Kota Kinabalu?

Where can I go on a road trip from Kota Kinabalu?
With your own wheels, road-tripping around the surrounding areas is a cinch. Kota Kinabalu is a wonderful place to start, but there’s tons more to experience in the region. Grab the keys to a rental, throw your luggage in the trunk and take a peek at these other popular locations:

  • You’ll feel the pulse of bustling city life the minute you pull into Keningau. Some 45 miles from Kota Kinabalu, it’s home to a ton of exciting spots to explore, such as Crocker Range Park.
  • Ranau, around 45 miles away, also promises a memorable time. Curious what there is to see? Mount Kinabalu Park Entrance is one of our favourite stops.
  • After all that time on the road, treat yourself to a dose of nature at Gunung Mulu National Park. It’s roughly 160 miles from Kota Kinabalu.
