Cars - private and rental, Kuala Lumpur

If you own a car, why not try taking a short drive up north to Kuala Lumpur. It takes about three to five hours depending on the speed you are driving.

You will need to pay SGD1.20 at the Singapore custom counter using your cashcard and cash, RM2.60 at Malaysia custom counter if you are taking the Woodlands causeway.

There is a short toll of RM2.10 before you reach the first toll. Take the ticket and continue your drive to Kuala Lumpur. The toll charge for private car from Johor Bahru to Kuala Lumpur is RM41.30

If you need a private driver with a large car to take up to 6 people then I highly recommend Patrick. The day trip down to Melaka with Patrick was wonderful and he took good care of us, showing us the sights. We hired him again to take us to the airport for Pulau Tioman and again to pick us up and drive us to the international airport.

There's a free shuttle ride to Menara Tower. Just go to the main gate of the tower at Jalan Puncak. The gate is about 10-minute walk from the Bukit Nanas Station via the KL Monorail. The shuttle ride is available from 9am to 6pm at 15-minute intervals. Scheduled shuttle transfers are also available from major hotels to the tower.

Feel like indulging in creamy, mouth watering, delicious Baskin Robbins ice-cream while driving along the North South Highway to KL?

Take the Air Keruh exit, you will find a standalone Baskin Robbins outlet.

Take note that it's the AIR KERUH exit and NOT the one with the 'Jejantas' (restaurant bridge across the highway). The AIR KERUH exit is just before the Jejantas exit so if you see the Jejantas exit, then you've already overshot.

However, on the way back from KL to Singapore/JB, the Baskin Robbins outlet is at the Jejantas exit.

It's better for the traveller to take public transport like buses and taxis, even though your own car would be time-saving and more convenient.

The other well-seasoned drivers might give you a fright !

And if you happen to be in one of those infamous "floods" you'd surely be in trouble.

getting around Malaysia

They pamper you with Malaysian courtesy and at budgeted rate with luxury machine to take you around to your destiny in sheer comfort.. Only RM 100.00 - RM 140.00 To KL. . New MPV limos ,ever ready to serve. The drivers has been trained to assist your journey.
The care and services has always been a way to show their inherited culture.

Mae sure you have a map, and it's much easier to get to your destination when you have a passenger (who is hopefully some good at map-reading). Tolls are cheap but depending on where you're going to around Malaysia, there will be quite a lot of them. Driving in inner-city KL is pretty much chaos, although I have to say Penang is worse (lots of motorbikes weaving in and out of the traffic). If you arrange to meet a friend or relative at a toll, make sure you meet them at the right one (happened to me before lol), and a mobile phone is always handy for these situations.

It takes abt 5-6 hrs of drive from singapore to KL, expect not much of a jam if u are departuring on a 4am weekday morning. There are several resting stations along the highway. Just rem to get out of the way when another faster car tailgate u or signal right at u. have fun!
