Booking a car, step by step
Your details, documents, rental policies, signature and payment.
Booking takes three steps. Your progress is saved, so you can stop and continue later from My bookings.
Step 1: Details and documents
- Check the driver's details: full name, date of birth, driving licence number and expiry date. The driver must be at least 18 with a valid licence. Some companies require more; check their policies.
- If the car is being delivered or collected, enter the street address within the postcode you searched.
- Upload your documents for this rental:
- Malaysian: MyKad front, MyKad back and driving licence front.
- Foreign visitor: passport identity page and driving licence front.
Use JPEG, PNG or PDF files up to 8 MB each. Take the photo in good light with all four corners visible and no glare. Blurry photos are the most common reason a company asks for changes.
Step 2: Policies and signature
- Read each of the company's rental policies and tick it to accept. Every required policy starts unticked for each new rental.
- Read the rental agreement. Select Read the full agreement to see all of it.
- Draw your signature with your finger, a stylus or a mouse, confirm that you adopt it, and select Sign and continue.
If you cannot draw a signature, contact the rental company before paying.
Step 3: Review and pay
- Check the summary: car, dates, locations, price breakdown and deposit.
- Have a voucher? Enter the code under Apply voucher. One voucher per rental; it reduces the rental charge, not the deposit. Applying or removing a voucher changes the amount, so you will be asked to sign again.
- Select Pay and submit and pay by FPX online banking. The car is held for you for 10 minutes while you pay.
You will get a Payment received email with your receipt. Your request now shows Paid - awaiting review. See After you pay.
If something goes wrong
- "This car was just reserved by someone else": another customer paid first. Your application is saved; choose other dates or another car.
- "The price changed": your price quote is valid for 60 minutes. If it expired, check the new amount and sign again.
- "Your payment has not been confirmed": check your booking status and your bank account before trying again. If money left your account, do not pay again; the payment is matched automatically, or contact us.
- "We are confirming your payment": the bank is still processing. Do not pay again; refresh the page in a minute.
