Top tips for hiring a car in Brunei Darussalam
- Renting a car in Brunei Darussalam offers travelers a long list of benefits for getting around. The public transport system in the country can be confusing, as many bus schedules aren’t readily available; you may have to ask the locals about schedules and routes. Also, most buses to popular destinations depart from Jalan Cator, which can be inconvenient if you aren’t staying near there.
- Although Brunei Darussalam has many natural attractions and is graced with many mountains, rivers and streams, the roads are still in good condition all over the country, including in rural areas. Because of the well-maintained roads, you won’t have to worry about reserving a rugged off-road vehicle to get you to destinations like the Ulu Temburong National Park or Tasek Merimbun.
- If you’re renting a car in Brunei Darussalam with children under the age of three, you’ll have to make sure that you have the right car seat for them. All children under three years are required to be secured in a government-approved car seat, so check with your rental car provider that your seat is approved, or add on an approved seat when you reserve your car.
- Brunei Darussalam is bordered by Malaysia, and renting a car to explore this neighboring country is popular among visitors. Fortunately, the border crossing is extremely simple when traveling over land via car. You’ll simply go to the vehicle registration website, register yourself and your vehicle's details and obtain the QR code to scan at the border. Make sure to keep your passport and vehicle registration documents on hand at all times in case of a random stop or emergency.
