Frequently asked questions

How much is a rental car per day in Kota Kinabalu?
Get bang for your buck in Kota Kinabalu, with rental car prices within the past seven days starting from as low as £25 a day.
Can I hire a car from Kota Kinabalu Intl. Airport (BKI)?
Make a quick getaway from Kota Kinabalu Intl. Airport (BKI) and rent a set of wheels from Europcar. This car hire outlet is a short commute from the terminal.
What happens if I need to cancel my Kota Kinabalu car reservation?
We have good news! You should be given a complete refund if you let us know at least six hours before the collection time. Your confirmation contains information about this, and so does our Customer Service Portal. Not all prepaid hires result in a refund though, so it's a good idea to read through your car's hire agreement.
What types of cars can I rent in Kota Kinabalu?
The majority of visitors opt for economy vehicles in Kota Kinabalu. Motorists love them because they're easy on the wallet. Plus, their smaller size makes them ideal for exploring cities, where streets are busy and parking can be tricky. But your options don't stop there. Compacts, full-size cars and SUVs are also among our hire range. Whether you're hanging around Kota Kinabalu or venturing beyond, we'll have a ride that fits your needs.
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.

Requirements may differ between outlets, so be sure to read the fine print carefully.
What do you need to rent a car in Kota Kinabalu?
While terms and conditions may differ between car hire outlets in Kota Kinabalu, the two things you'll need are a valid driver's license and a credit card in your name. You don't need to take out the company's insurance plan. However, proof of alternative coverage may be necessary.

Where can I find a Kota Kinabalu hire car if I am younger than 25?
