Best ways to getting a good deal on a car rental in Penang. 

Rates on car rental Penang are up and in some cases way up from a year ago, according to Yoponi Car Rental Company, based in Penang, Malaysia, which provides best car rental rates.

So take a few minutes to a find the best available rate from an off-airport rental car agency for your upcoming vacation.

Next, factor in how much it will cost to travel by bus, taxi or subway to your hotel or destination and to the rental car agency to pick up your car.

Some rental car companies have agencies in or near major hotels. Other rental agencies may allow you to pick up and drop off your car right at your hotel. Be sure to ask.

With Penang airport rental car rates so high, there's a good chance you'll save some money by renting from an off-airport location. Just make sure it's not too much of a hassle to get to and from your rental car agency. This is your vacation after all.

Book early. As soon as you decide on your vacation plans, book your car rental. Wait until the last minute and you could get stuck paying much higher rates, and you may have a tougher time finding the vehicle that you want.

Book early, means "You can always cancel when ever you want. Lock in the rate."

So be sure to make your car rental reservation weeks before your vacation. If you find a better deal closer to your trip you can always snap up that deal and cancel your other reservation.
