Car Rental in Kuala Lumpur

Kampung Baru is a historic Malay neighborhood in the heart of KL, located 1.5 km northeast of KLCC with the Petronas Twin Towers as the nearest landmark. With 1 car rental company in the area, availability is limited but convenient if you're staying in this part of the city. From here, you can quickly reach Jalan Ampang and onward to the expressway network.

Kampung Baru borders Chow Kit to the north and KLCC to the south – KLCC Park is reached in 5 minutes' drive (2 km). To the northeast, Jalan Ampang leads to the embassy quarters and onward to Ampang Point in 15 minutes (8 km). Street parking in Kampung Baru is easier to find than in Bukit Bintang – a plus if you plan city outings.

Visit Pasar Minggu (Sunday market) early in the morning before you drive onward. Note that the area has narrow side streets – choose a compact car. Are there more car rental companies near Kampung Baru?

Yes, KL Center with 15 car rental companies is just 2 km south. It's worth comparing prices and selection there if you're flexible with your pickup location. How do I drive from Kampung Baru to Batu Caves?

Take Jalan Ipoh north – it's 11 km and takes about 20 minutes without traffic. Batu Caves is a must-visit with its 272 rainbow-colored steps up to the temple. Is it difficult to navigate in KL with a rental car?
