I find the ppl there very friendly. my flight is early morning, The rental co not open.
Called the guy he ask me put keys in the box will do but ask me to wait he want to return me the deposit RM50.
i said no need but they quite insistent and they did rush to return me the deposit,

A pity covid kill alot of business there, went to The Loaf Perdana Quay for lunch, whole place deserted only one shop standing. The lunch was good.

can share the car rental company?
i'm still thinking if i should rent car or just grab everywhere?

I am not sure if Grab is widely available at the far side of the island, that is if you plan to go there. If you are a competent driver, driving is cheap and convenient.

no Grab there bah. you one person try drive Grab there, the local taxi drivers will ensure you die in your next sleep.....

Yes! renting a car is super useful and not too expensive

cars are even cheaper in langkawi as compare to other states.

i remembered, the first time i drove the rental car to the beach.
was fun until the wheels got stuck in the sand..
lucky, the people there were super nice.
all came forward and assist to push the car off the sand.
so comical.

I don't recall the company I used and it may not have survived the pandemic. I googled and Whatsapp the company. I did not pay up-front. In any case, it is quite competitive. You can look up Klook, Easybook, Wahdah and other platforms for comparison.
