Overview: car trip from Penang to Kuala Lumpur

Along the way, if you travel with a private car transfer, you have the opportunity to stop in places such as Taiping to see the serene tropical Lake Gardens or the sprawling complex of the Batu Caves for an underworld exploration.

Whether you choose to pursue sightseeing stops or not, with a Daytrip transfer you will arrive in Kuala Lumpur with a friendly English-speaking driver who will help you with your luggage and provide local insight into the buzzing city.

About Kuala Lumpur

After your journey from Penang to Kuala Lumpur, you will find yourself in a city globally renowned for its blend of ultra-modern city life with ample outdoor adventure opportunities. Kuala Lumpur has boomed since the 90s, developing rapidly and solidifying its status as a must-see destination for world travelers.

The city is recognizable by its distinctive skyline, complete with the staggering Petronas Twin Towers, which used to hold the title of the tallest building(s) in the world. The towers, like a lot of Kuala Lumpur, pay homage to the city’s position as the cultural, political, and economic capital of Malaysia. The city is thought of as a melting pot of Southeast Asia, playing host to a variety of cultures, religions, and cuisines. A tour of the city will expose you to the exhilarating mix of different food styles, as well as leave you in awe of the multilayered religious sites and architectural styles.

For an authentic taste of the local’s favorite foods, you can visit Pudu Food Street, where street food vendors prepare Malaysia’s must-try dishes using traditional methods. Try the Yung Kee Beef Noodles for a taste of the area’s Hong Kong influences, or satisfy your sweet tooth with one of the many Malaysian desserts balancing the delicate sweetness of black sesame with peanuts or coconut.

Throughout the city, the atmosphere is incredibly friendly and it will quickly become evident why travelers from around the world are drawn to the city’s vibrant nightlife, cultural sites, and pristine beaches - boasting some of Malaysia’s best areas for water sports, as well as scuba diving amongst globally admired white coral reefs.

From Penang to Kuala Lumpur: travel tips

Before your Penang to Kuala Lumpur transfer, you can plan ahead to maximize your travel day and make the most of your trip. This is easily done if you choose private transportation such as Daytrip, which offers convenient door-to-door service that your choice of sightseeing stops along the journey can complement.

Explore along the way

With a Daytrip private car transfer, you have a unique opportunity to stop between Penang and Kuala Lumpur to see more of Malaysia. Work with your driver to customize sightseeing stops such as Kek Lok Si Temple, Malaysia’s largest Buddhist temple, a vast, impressive complex complete with over 10,000 Buddha statues.

Give durian a try

Durian is a highly controversial fruit native to Malaysia and farmed in particularly high volumes in Penang. The fruit has an impressive nutritional content and its sweet, creamy pulp is incorporated into a variety of Malaysian desserts.

However, durian is infamous among travelers for its distinctly pungent scent. The fruit is prohibited in many closed indoor spaces due to the strength of the smell! If you can get past the scent, it is certainly worth trying the fruit itself or procuring a sample of durian ice cream, fritters, or candy.

Choose a bar with a view

Det var en fantastisk resa.

“Vi var mycket nöjda med kvaliteten pĂ„ den service vi fick frĂ„n Day Trip. Vi hade tvĂ„ resor med Day Trip: den 31 augusti frĂ„n Aten till Lefkada och den 7 september frĂ„n Lefkada tillbaka till Aten. BĂ„da resorna inkluderade stopp vid natursköna platser i Grekland. BĂ„da förarna var utmĂ€rkta och tillmötesgĂ„ende. Vi vill dock sĂ€rskilt uppmĂ€rksamma Panos Peppas, som var vĂ„r förare frĂ„n Lefkada till Aten. Panos var otroligt trevlig och behaglig och levererade enastĂ„ende kundservice, som inkluderade att han tog hand om allt vĂ„rt bagage, gav oss kallt vatten under hela resan, försĂ„g oss med proteinbars, gav oss tryckt material om Korintkanalen (ett av de natursköna stoppen), tog reda pĂ„ och gav oss terminal- och gateinformation för vĂ„rt flyg hem, samt gav oss ett recept pĂ„ tzatziki.”

PrisvÀrd och sÀker transport

“Gonzalo frĂ„n Daytrip var vĂ„r chaufför och han var helt fantastisk. Han gjorde allt för att hitta oss eftersom vĂ„r mobiltĂ€ckning var dĂ„lig. Han vĂ€ntade tĂ„lmodigt i lobbyn tills vi kom, sĂ„ att han kunde köra oss frĂ„n Tulum Dreams Resort till vĂ„rt andra hotell i CancĂșn, en och en halv timme bort nĂ€ra flygplatsen inför vĂ„r hemresa. Han var artig, respektfull och vĂ€nlig. Han sĂ„g till att vi hade det bekvĂ€mt under hela resan. Snabb och effektiv. Jag rekommenderar detta företag eftersom det inte Ă€r lĂ€tt eller billigt att hitta en enkelresa frĂ„n Tulum till CancĂșn, och detta företag erbjuder en utmĂ€rkt tjĂ€nst till ett bra pris. Jag kommer definitivt att anvĂ€nda dem igen nĂ€r jag Ă€r i omrĂ„det CancĂșn/Tulum. Tack DayTrip och Gonzalo.”

Daytrip gör en aldrig besviken

“Marianna hĂ€mtade oss för att köra oss frĂ„n Heraklion till Chania. VĂ€dret var hemskt, och pĂ„ grund av detta kom Marianna nĂ„gra minuter sent. Hon kontaktade mig för att meddela det. Marianna bor i Chania och gjorde resan vĂ€ldigt intressant genom att berĂ€tta om lokala sevĂ€rdheter och saker att göra i Chania. Marianna Ă€r en sĂ€ker förare och vi kĂ€nde oss alla trygga med bĂ„de hastigheten och hur bra hon körde i det kraftiga regnet. Hon Ă€r en underbar person och talar flytande engelska. Vi rekommenderar verkligen Daytrip, och om du Ă€r i Heraklion eller Chania, se till att frĂ„ga efter Marianna.”

Private Transfer - KL to Penang and Back

“Alan L drove us to Penang last week and then drove us from Penang back to KL today. Both drives were excellent experiences as Alan was a safe and very calm driver. The drive from Penang took close to 9.5 hours due to Lunar New Year traffic but despite it being a gruelling drive Alan was sure to take care of me and my family with breaks and was amazingly patient and composed on the road in the face of some very unfortunate driving conditions. His car (8 seater) was immaculate and comfortable and he was a very kind host. I would recommend daytrip and Alan to anyone else”
