| As for me, driving or owning a car in Penang is a necessity not a luxury. I love driving around Penang. It does take some skills to drive in Penang. And some say, if you can drive in Penang, you can drive anywhere in the world. Traffic in Penang can get quite hectic and the locals are what we called "road gangster" or road bullies. | ||
Taxis |
Another mean of Pinang cars would be taxis or kereta sewa (car for hire). There are two kinds of taxis. One is legal going by meter when they choose to do it. Although they are designated
by the Authorities to use a meter for transport charges, most do not conform to the standard and it would be best to agree on a fixed fare before boarding. Taxis normally charge between RM5.00 - RM10.00 for short distances within the city.
The other taxis is what we called "Taxi sapu". Ordinary cars with no taxi meters, they ply around town picking up passengers when buses are late. Fares are cheap and one word of advise, get in only when you need to make up the number of people going along that routes so you will not be charge exorbitantly.

If you wish to venture further at your own leisure, it might be a good idea to drive around yourself. Most major international and local car rental companies offer a good choice of vehicles and packages.
A valid car license with a photo is required to rent a car. An international Driving Permit is not necessary. Pinang Cars are right-hand driven on the left side of the road. The use of seat belts is compulsory for both front and back seats.
The parking system here consists of parking metres, tickets and coupons. Most office buildings and shopping complexes have car parks. The speed limit at 60km at some areas but you better follow or a compound fine of RM300 may be slapped on you.
So getting around the island in Pinang cars is most convenient. Pinang cars Richard Goh has been working for this agency since its infancy. When some visitors recommended that I checked this agency out, I never knew I will find a very old friend again.
I have heard of New Bob Agency but never really know how great this company was until a few travelers felt, I should check them out. Refer to a map of Penang before you drive. Have fun!
