48 hours before departure, the car rental staff contacted us via text message and added us on WeChat. They informed us that staff would be waiting for us upon arrival, which was considerate. We arrived early and went to the car rental counter in the arrivals hall at Langkawi Airport. We were told that the counter was for on-the-spot rentals. Since we had pre-booked, we were directed to find staff next to Maybank. Being early, we informed the rental company via WeChat to send someone to pick us up. A few minutes later, staff arrived to escort us. Our car was 50 meters to the right after exiting the airport. We handed over our pickup form, driving license, and passport, and they filled out our contract. After inspecting the car (which we had already checked ourselves), we signed the contract and paid a 200 CNY deposit. For the return, we notified the rental company via WeChat, refueled the car to the same level, and returned it to the pickup location at the airport. After inspection with no issues, our 200 CNY deposit was returned. However, we had a minor accident involving a third party in the final hours. We contacted the company, and they advised against reporting to the police, claiming that our order did not include third-party liability insurance (which we recorded and confirmed with the car rental platform's colleague). The company charged us 3000 MYR for vehicle damage (the deductible) and paid the third party in cash. We were dissatisfied with how they handled the accident, feeling it was irresponsible. Other than that, their service was good.
The so-called sign for airport pickup must be a dream. They charged me over 100 RMB for using one extra bar of fuel. It's a scam targeting those who didn't read the rental agreement properly.
1. Had to wait over half an hour for the staff.
2. The pickup point wasn't at the airport as mentioned, but in a remote location that required a shuttle.
3. The car provided was not the Toyota Vios I reserved, but a downgraded Perodua Axia.
4. The car wasn't full of fuel, it was only at the last segment.
5. After taking photos and returning the car, I refueled it fully. Although they didn't mention keeping the fuel receipt, comparisons of the dashboard photos before and after returning the car show I refueled it, but the company refused to provide the photos.
6. Upon returning the car, a staff member was very rude and used abusive language, even attempting to intimidate me with threats of violence.
Very convenient, picking up and returning the car is right at the terminal entrance. The car model is great. I participated in the Ironman competition, and my bicycle could be easily placed in the trunk while my family could sit comfortably in the back. When picking up the car, I found a nail in the front tire. The staff responsibly took it to get the tire fixed before handing it over.
“Best value for money and superb fast processing time.”

Very fast process from pick up and drop off. Good hospitality from their staff. Car is clean and tip top. Eventhough the fuel receive only 2 bars, I have fill up full tank and left with 3 bars without any dispute. Cash deposit also returned back on the spot. Thank you EPTA.
