Malaysia wants home license + IDP for car rental — shops sometimes lax but checkpoints strict RM300 fine. UK EU license get IDP before travel AA shop. Rental RM60–100/day LGK airport passport credit card. Left-side driving. Full insurance read excess. Scooter same license rules. Don't risk without IDP if driving north daily.

Had IDP — rental took photo both licenses, smooth.

Australian license no IDP — small shop rented anyway, risky.
