Car Rental in Selangor: 8 Airport and Branch Pickup Options
Car rental in Selangor makes sense because the state wraps around Kuala Lumpur and its sights are spread out: Batu Caves in Gombak, the royal town of Klang, the fireflies and Bukit Melawati at Kuala Selangor, the Sekinchan paddy fields and the Sepang International Circuit are all far apart and poorly served by trains. Both of the country's main airports, KLIA and klia2, are in Sepang district, so most visitors collect a car on arrival.
This guide covers 8 rental pickups in Selangor, checked in October 2026 against each company's own branch page or booking form: five at KLIA and klia2 in Sepang, one at Subang Airport, one in Glenmarie, Shah Alam, and one app-based company with airport pickups. Rental offices inside Kuala Lumpur city, such as those on Jalan Perak or in Segambut, are on our Kuala Lumpur car rental guide. Prices are in Malaysian Ringgit (RM) and are quoted per booking, so we do not guess daily rates.

Car Rental at KLIA and klia2 in Sepang
Hertz KLIA Terminal 1
Hertz in Malaysia is run by Sime Darby Rent-A-Car. Its KLIA Terminal 1 customer service office is on the ground floor of Car Park D, beside the main terminal building in Sepang, and Hertz Malaysia lists it open Monday to Saturday from 7:30 am to 10 pm and on Sundays and public holidays from 7:30 am to 7 pm. Phone 03-8776 6636 or 03-8787 4572.
Hertz Malaysia accepts credit and debit cards, but its booking page notes a RM600 deposit for debit card holders at the counter. The fleet listed for its KLIA branches includes the Nissan Almera, Honda City and Toyota Vios, plus electric cars such as the BYD Dolphin.
Avis KLIA Terminal 1
Avis Malaysia lists its KLIA Terminal 1 station at Lot 12 on the ground floor of Car Park Block D, open every day including public holidays from 7 am to 10 pm. The station takes calls and WhatsApp messages on +60 12-858 2847.
The Malaysian Avis operation has its head office in Glenmarie, Shah Alam (toll-free 1-800-88-2847), and central reservations on +60 12-268 2847 by call or WhatsApp. Avis also offers long-term leasing, chauffeur services and electric cars, so ask at booking which models are available at the airport.
Mayflower Car Rental KLIA Terminal 1
Mayflower is one of the longest-running Malaysian rental companies, and its online booking form lists KLIA Terminal 1 as a pickup and drop-off point alongside its Kuala Lumpur head office and branches in Johor Bahru, Penang, Kuantan, Kuching and Kota Kinabalu.
Desk hours at KLIA are not published on its website, so book ahead and confirm the meeting point. The head office answers general enquiries on +60 3-6253 1888 (Monday to Friday, 9 am to 6 pm) and on WhatsApp at +60 19-382 8860.
Hertz klia2
The Hertz klia2 counter is on Level 1 of Gateway@klia2, the shopping mall attached to the klia2 terminal, and keeps the same hours as the Terminal 1 office: 7:30 am to 10 pm Monday to Saturday and 7:30 am to 7 pm on Sundays and public holidays. Phone 03-8787 8315.
klia2 handles most low-cost flights, and many arrivals land late in the evening, so check that your flight lands well before the desk closes, especially on a Sunday. If it does not, ask Hertz before you book whether a later handover can be arranged.
Avis klia2
Avis lists its klia2 station at Lot 1-A09 on Level 1 of Gateway@klia2, open daily including public holidays from 8 am to 10 pm. Call or WhatsApp +60 12-958 2847.
It opens an hour later than the Avis desk at Terminal 1, so early-morning arrivals at klia2 may find the Terminal 1 station (open from 7 am) the better choice; the two terminals are linked by the KLIA Transit train.
Car Rental in Subang and Shah Alam
Hertz SkyPark Subang
Hertz has a counter at Lot TC4 in the SkyPark Subang Terminal of Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport, better known as Subang Airport, which mainly handles smaller domestic and regional flights. It is open Monday to Saturday from 8 am to 6 pm; on Sundays and public holidays staff meet confirmed reservations only. Phone 03-7843 0223.
Hertz pitches this branch at drivers heading to Subang Jaya, Shah Alam and Petaling Jaya, and suggests compact cars such as the Perodua Bezza, Honda City or Toyota Yaris for city driving and easy parking.
Avis Glenmarie
Avis runs a rental station in the EON Head Office Complex on Persiaran Kerjaya in Glenmarie, the same complex as its Malaysian head office. It is open Monday to Friday from 8 am to 6 pm and on weekends and public holidays from 8 am to 5 pm, which is unusual for a non-airport branch. Phone 03-5885 2430.
Glenmarie sits between Subang Jaya and Shah Alam off the Federal Highway, so the station suits visitors staying in Petaling Jaya, Subang or Shah Alam who only need a car for a day trip to Kuala Selangor, Klang or Sekinchan.
App-Based Car Rental with Airport Pickups
WAHDAH
WAHDAH is a Malaysian app and web-based rental company. Its booking page lists pickup and drop-off at KLIA Terminal 1, klia2, a WAHDAH mini hub near KLIA and Subang Airport, plus hotels such as Sama-Sama Hotel KLIA, Mövenpick Hotel KLIA, Sunway Pyramid Hotel and Sheraton Petaling Jaya.
Because the car is handed over at a meeting point rather than a staffed desk, read the handover instructions in your booking and keep your phone on after landing. Prices appear for your dates and car class when you search; check the deposit and fuel terms before you pay.
Driving Tips for Car Rental in Selangor
驾照与国际驾照
Tourists can drive in Malaysia on a valid foreign licence for up to 90 days. If your licence is not in English, carry an International Driving Permit (IDP) or a certified English translation; ASEAN licence holders do not need an IDP. Carry an IDP anyway if you have one, since rental desks and police find it easier to read.
靠左行驶
Malaysia drives on the left, with right-hand-drive cars. Selangor's road network is dense and fast, with many expressways meeting near Petaling Jaya, Subang Jaya and Shah Alam, so use Waze or Google Maps and expect heavy traffic on weekday mornings and evenings.
过路费与 Touch 'n Go
Peninsular expressways are fully cashless. Most roads out of KLIA and around Petaling Jaya and Shah Alam are tolled, so pay with a Touch 'n Go card, an RFID tag or a contactless Visa or Mastercard where accepted, and ask the rental desk which one the car is set up for.
Airport timing
Desk hours differ by company and by terminal. Hertz at KLIA and klia2 closes at 10 pm (7 pm on Sundays and public holidays) and Avis at 10 pm, so a late-night arrival may need a pre-arranged handover or a hotel night near the airport before collecting the car.
Parking in Selangor towns
Street parking in Selangor towns is paid, usually by app or coupon, and malls charge by the hour. Ask the rental company how parking fines and summonses are passed on to you before you drive away.
外国人的汽油价格
Malaysians pay a subsidised RM1.99 a litre for RON95 under the BUDI95 scheme, verified by MyKad. Foreign visitors pay the unsubsidised market price, which changes weekly: RM4.67 a litre for RON95 and RM5.15 for RON97 for 8 to 14 October 2026. Most rental cars take RON95. Return the car with the tank at the level stated in your agreement.
