About Renting a Car at Kuala Lumpur Brickfields
Brickfields, known as Kuala Lumpur's Little India, is a vibrant district 3 km south of the KLCC towers with four car rental companies to choose from. Its location right next to KL Sentral – Malaysia's most important transportation hub – makes it easy to pick up a car and head straight onto the expressway toward Putrajaya (25 km) or Port Dickson (100 km). The area is well-connected and provides quick access to the NKVE and Federal Highway expressways.
Brickfields is the center of Kuala Lumpur's Tamil and South Indian community with colorful Hindu temples, sari shops, and authentic South Indian restaurants along Jalan Tun Sambanthan. Sri Kandaswamy Kovil Temple is an architectural landmark. KL Sentral Station, 500 meters away, connects KLIA Express, MRT, KTM, and the monorail.
Park at the KL Sentral parking building and pick up your car from there – it's easy to navigate and avoids Brickfields' busiest streets. Drive south via Jalan Syed Putra to quickly reach the Federal Highway toward Shah Alam and Klang. The Thaipusam festival in January–February attracts enormous crowds – avoid driving in the area on these days.
How close are the car rental companies in Brickfields to KL Sentral? Most car rental companies in Brickfields are within 500 meters to 1 km from KL Sentral, often along Jalan Tun Sambanthan or in adjacent hotels. How long does it take to drive from Brickfields to KLCC Petronas Towers?
Approximately 15–20 minutes via Jalan Parlimen, depending on traffic – expect longer times during rush hour. Is Brickfields a good place to pick up a car for a trip to Cameron Highlands? Yes, Cameron Highlands is about 200 km north, approximately 3–3.5 hours' drive via E1 Plus Expressway – a popular day trip option.
