About Renting a Car at Langkawi Center

Rent a car in Langkawi city center and explore the entire island on your own - from Pantai Cenang in the south to Tanjung Rhu in the north. With 1 rental company in the city center, it's smart to combine it with pickup at the airport if you're arriving by plane. Langkawi is a duty-free zone, which makes fuel and shopping unusually affordable.

The city center of Kuah is in the island's southeastern corner, about 20 km from Pantai Cenang along Jalan Pantai Cenang.

Drive along Jalan Ayer Hangat toward northern Langkawi to find the quieter beaches without tourists.
