Comfort and convenience at the best price
Bookingauto (Penang) strives to make your car rental experience as simple and convenient as possible. This also applies to the location of rental points. Our clients can pick up cars in the most popular places, whether it be the city centre, airport, or main railway station. The list of our pick-up locations is extensive, meaning that visitors who book cars with us in Penang can always collect them from the most suitable place.
Options and possibilities:
We take into account the preferences of our customers and look for a car that fits into the right category. For example, those who come to Penang on their own or with a small company can rent a spectacular convertible Chevrolet Camaro from us, starting at €188 per day and rented out by the popular company sixt in Penang. For those of you who arrive with your whole family or friends, a roomy and reliable minivan Ford Tourneo might be best - from €51 per day. For anyone who loves comfort and doesn’t have limited funds, budget recommends opting for a business class car like BMW 5 series for €49 per day. For those travelling on a budget, rent a compact model Ford Focus for just €18 per day.
Select the exact date and time for picking up and returning the car:
If you want to save money, choose the same pick-up and return time. Car rental companies charge for a full day of rent, so if you rent a car for 25 hours, you pay for 48 hours (two full days), and 73 hours would be equivalent to four full days of rent.

How the cost changes in Penang
During the high season in summer, car rental in Penang costs 20-30% more than at other times. For example, renting the VW Passat popular in Penang costs €16 per day in July. In autumn, you’d pay about €10 for the same model.
During the holidays, the demand for car rental is very high, which is reflected in both the price and the choice of available cars. Therefore, you should book in advance if possible.
Highest summer price for convertibles. For example, a Chevrolet Camaro is offered at €188 per day.
Among budget models, the most demanded in Penang is the Ford Focus. The sixt company rents it out for €18 per day.
Business class car rental in high season is also more expensive. For example, renting a BMW 5 series costs about €49 per day.
With the arrival of autumn, demand gradually decreases and this is reflected in costs. For example, a Opel Mokka at this time can be rented for just €44 per day.
Fans of exclusive car models also find it easier to fulfill their requests in the autumn months. For example, in Penang, you can easily rent a LEXUS RX to travel in style through the streets of the beautiful city. Rest assured that the memories of these drives will linger in your imagination for a long time.

Answers to popular questions about car rental in Penang
Answer: The cost of renting a car in Penang is usually made up of unlimited mileage, car damage insurance (CDW), and VAT. Some additional services that can be added are insurance against theft, inclusion of a child seat, and admission for a second driver to use the car. As a rule, the client picks up the car with a full tank of fuel. You must fill it up on its return. In the rental conditions of the selected car, you can find a full list of services that are included in the rental price. Therefore, we recommend that you carefully read all of the important information before booking.

You need to mark the option "Return in another location" in the search form and indicate your desired city of return. The search results will only offer cars for which this is possible. The price is shown immediately and takes into account the additional fee for returning in another city.

The system will automatically determine your coordinates and suggest a number of available cars, starting with the ones closest to your location.
