PENANG CAR RENTAL REVIEWS

This is my 2nd time using this service from Suria. Their staff is friendly and professional. They deliver the car to us and we collected it right at the pick up lobby of the airport. Very easy and convenient. Car is clean too. No complain at all!

Simple to use and love the price that it offers!

The car was great and brand new. Euro is a trustworthy brand.

Very simple and quick.

Good service, but there was a billing issue. I was charged again at pickup even though I had already paid on QEEQ.

The staff at the store who spoke Chinese were very helpful, but the car's condition was old (over 100,000 kilometers) and dirty. When the car was handed over, it was very dirty with multiple bird droppings and the seats inside were not clean, with visible dust.

For this round the booking car was a bit old. So, it would be advice to make sure the rental car could be newer or at least looks nicer.

The price offer are still higher than my expectation. If provide more discount will be better.

Very disappointing experience. When issues arose with my booking on-site, Zuzuche did not assist in resolving them and pushed the responsibility onto me to deal with the store directly. Absolutely no service provided. Terrible!

Not bad

First of all, it didn't match the description. The store is not in the airport; none of the car rental companies at the airport are this one. We had to call for the car to be delivered, and the person had a heavy accent. There was no sign as claimed. We scheduled the return for 7:20, but upon pick-up, they said 7:30. When returning, they asked us to park in a lot and gave us a card for parking, demanding an extra 20 MYR (I never encountered a car rental return that required us to pay for parking, and there was no mention of a return service fee). We parked at 7:35, and they claimed we were late, saying we should have returned the car at 7:00. Secondly, they didn't inform us that they provided a toll card, so we bought and recharged our own. Thirdly, we didn't eat durians in the car, we only ate at the stalls. It seems like they're just trying to charge us extra. Such an unreliable and non-compliant company; they recorded our credit card information, making us worried about potential fraud. Be cautious when choosing. We regret trying to save some money with this company, leading to a lot of worries afterward.

Avoid renting from a company called Galaxy Asia Car Central in Malaysia. This Chinese-owned rental company scams Chinese customers. I picked up the car in Penang and dropped it off in Kuala Lumpur. When I picked up the car, I recorded a video showing some scratches on the front left bumper. The staff told me I had full insurance, so no worries. However, when I returned the car at KLIA2, their inspection was extremely thorough, almost like a safety car scan. I've rented cars all over the world and have never seen such a meticulous inspection when returning a vehicle. The person even used a light to check the undercarriage. Is this not intended to extort money? They said there were new scratches on the front left bumper. I insisted I hadn't been in any accidents. They reviewed my video, stated that the scratches were new, and demanded payment. This infuriated me—isn't this daylight robbery? I argued that, even if I did cause the scratches, insurance should cover it. They replied that I need to pay upfront and would be refunded after the insurance claim. Another customer was experiencing the same issue at the same time, being told there were scratches on his car's undercarriage. This company specifically targets Chinese customers for extortion. After some phone calls, they reversed their stance, admitting it was their mistake and the damages were pre-existing. Since we were at Terminal 1 and the car was at Terminal 2, I asked for a shuttle service, but they refused, saying they don't offer that service and were not willing to help. This has been the worst car rental experience ever. I will never return to Malaysia.

Avoid renting from this company in Malaysia, called Galaxy Asia Car Central. Chinese car rental companies are all scams, and they bully Chinese customers. I picked up the car in Penang and returned it in Kuala Lumpur. I took a video of the car showing some scratches on the left front bumper when I picked it up. The staff said it doesn't matter since I had full insurance. When returning the car at Kuala Lumpur T2, the inspection was incredibly thorough, like a safety car scan. I've driven in many countries, but have never encountered such a meticulous return inspection. They even used a flashlight to check the undercarriage. It felt like a blatant scam. They claimed that there were new scratches on the left front bumper. I insisted it wasn't possible since I hadn't had any incidents. They checked my video and still claimed the scratches were new and demanded payment. I was furious, it felt like outright robbery. I told them even if it was my fault, the full insurance should cover it, and besides, I didn't cause those scratches. They insisted that I would have to pay first and get a refund after filing an insurance claim. Coincidentally, another car returned at the same time had the same issue with alleged new scratches on the undercarriage. This company clearly targets Chinese customers. In the end, since I had full insurance, they made a few calls and then said it was their mistake and the damage was originally there. We were at T1 terminal, but the car was at T2 and they refused to provide a drop service. Renting a car in Kuala Lumpur is the worst experience I have had worldwide. I will never come back to this country.

The service was excellent. Due to a flight delay, the car was waiting right at the airport entrance. When we were an hour early for the return, they were immediately ready. Returning the car at the airport was also very smooth. The service was great.

Satisfied

After six months, they still claim there's an unresolved traffic violation. There are many hidden issues, and I suspect they are causing trouble on purpose.

Late night flight, staff waited until 2 AM

1/ Arrived at the airport at night and couldn't reach the car rental company at all! The car rental company claimed we canceled the order, but I had the rental confirmation in hand and couldn't find the car. Had to take a taxi to the hotel! Finally, the rental company contacted us and promised to deliver the car the next day. 2/ They clearly took a deposit from me, but the rental company said the deposit wasn't with them and was paid to the booking platform. They charged me 937 MYR and 1409 RMB. Planned to rent for 3 days (over 500 per day), but only rented for two days!

The service was very good, we could communicate in Mandarin throughout, and all the precautions were clearly explained.

Pick up location was confirmed the day before but was changed 15mins before time. We had to divert our taxi, it was complicated as we did not know the area. The car was very scratched and appeared very old with 156,000 kms on the clock. It was heavy to drive and consumed far too much petrol for the kms we did. It sounded like the exhaust was needing a repair and the indicators for change of direction did not work properly all the time.

All was good throughout with QEEQ

The service was very enthusiastic

Very satisfied. Make sure to call the number provided in the system when you arrive at the airport. The arrival area has two levels; we usually exit the plane at the first floor and need to go up to the second floor to find gate 5. They prefer Visa cards without the UnionPay logo, but in practice, cards with the UnionPay logo work just as well. Overall, I am very satisfied. My basic English was not an issue as they use translation software to help you.
