Taking a car trip from Malaysia’s capital Kuala Lumpur to Penang is quite a popular trip to take when visiting Malaysia, so buckle up for an amazing journey! The distance between Kuala Lumpur and Penang is around 217 miles (350 km) and traveling this route in the comfort of your private car will only take around four hours - not counting the enriching stops you'll want to make on the way.
As you head north from Kuala Lumpur, the skyscrapers and busy international atmosphere will start turning into a display of Malaysian hills and parks.
Stop by Taiping Lake Gardens to enjoy the greenery and tropical plants more. It is the first public park in the country, opened in 1880, and has been welcoming its visitors to walk through giant raintrees and Lotus Pool ever since.
Then go on to explore Kek Lok Si Temple, the largest Buddhist temple in Malaysia. Climb up the seven-story Ban Po Thar, the tower that stands out as the highlight of the complex.
Right before you arrive in Penang, you’ll pass the Penang Bridge which is one of the longest bridges in Southeast Asia. Make sure to stop for a little to capture some moments of the sea and the Penang Island skyline.
When traveling in Malaysia, taking a trip from Kuala Lumpur to Penang will be one of the most memorable parts of your journey. Penang is a fascinating fusion of East and West, tradition and modernity. It is located on the northwestern coast of Peninsular Malaysia overlooking the Strait of Malacca. There's a reason it's known as the “Pearl of the Orient”.
The culture in Penang is one of a kind with its eclectic blend of Malay, Chinese, Indian, and European influences. This cultural richness will be easily spottable on your walks around the streets. Walking through George Town's narrow lanes, you're treated to a living museum of British colonial buildings, traditional shophouses, and temples. The street art in this area is something to explore spontaneously, by letting yourself be surprised at each turn with striking murals telling stories of Penang’s past and present.
And believe us when we say Penang is legendary for its food---the days revolve here around meals. The delicious side of the state is considered among the best in Malaysia. From street food stalls to heritage eateries, the flavors of Penang Laksa, Char Kway Teow, and Nasi Kandar are a testament to the island's multicultural heritage.
After enjoying all that the city center has to offer, you’ll still have amazing natural surroundings to explore. Penang has tranquil beaches, such as Batu Ferringhi, and verdant parks, including Penang Hill and the Penang National Park, where you’ll enjoy cooler climates and explore diverse flora and fauna.
Traveling from Kuala Lumpur to Penang with Daytrip’s door-to-door car service you won’t need to worry about logistics as your private driver will handle everything. But to make sure the rest of your trip goes perfectly, here are some tips you can consider before you set out:
The weather in Malaysia can be hot and humid. Make you pack lightweight clothing, a hat, sunscreen, and a reusable water bottle as essentials. Don’t forget a raincoat or umbrella for sudden showers. Check here to stay updated about the weather.
Purchase a Malaysian SIM card for easy navigation and to stay connected with your accommodation and local attractions.
There will be many restaurants and cafes waiting for you on your way to Penang. Stop by a few of them to explore the local cuisine. You Daytrip driver will be happy to recommend their favorite dish!
Malaysia is a multicultural country with a mix of ethnicities. The majority is Islamic, so dress modestly, especially when visiting temples and other religious sites.
Once you arrive in Penang, don’t limit your wandering to only George Town, although it is definitely a must-visit. Penang's charm also lies in its less-explored beaches and hills. Consider renting a scooter or car to discover more.
The tropical climate can be dehydrating. Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated, especially when exploring outdoors.
There are several convenient ways to travel from Kuala Lumpur to Penang, each with its own pros and cons. Take a look at this list to choose the best option for you.
There are several bus services between Kuala Lumpur and Penang including Cosmic Express and Kejora Mashyur. Buses depart from various terminals in Kuala Lumpur, including Terminal Bersepadu Selatan (TBS), and the ride takes around four to five hours.
It is generally the most economical option, with tickets as low as $8 (RM35), and there are multiple departures daily. But keep in mind that you won’t be stopping to explore on the way, and will need to make your way from the bus station in Penang to your accommodation. Check the bus services here.
The KTM ETS (Electric Train Service) connects KL Sentral in Kuala Lumpur to Butterworth (near Penang). From Butterworth, you can take a ferry or bus to Penang Island.
Traveling by train to Penang takes approximately four hours and costs as little as $6.40 (RM28). It is a more comfortable journey compared to traveling by bus, and many say it's the most scenic train ride in Malaysia.
It is possible to fly directly from Kuala Lumpur to Penang, Flights depart from Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) to Penang International Airport. Flight time is about one hour, but the 2 hours for check-in and security, plus travel time to and from the airport make it about the same speed as the train or a private car transfer, but much less comfortable.
The easiest and most comfortable way to travel from Kuala Lumpur to Penang is a private car transfer with Daytrip. It's a door-to-door ride, so you'll be picked up wherever you want in Kuala Lumpur and dropped off at your accommodation in Penang. You don't even need to get to a station!
And unlike any other transportation option, you can stop to explore along the way (don't worry---your driver will wait with your luggage at each stop). And since Daytrip drivers speak English, you can get insights into local culture during your ride.
Rent a car and drive yourself to Penang if you don’t mind driving in a foreign country, different traffic rules, and dealing with parking. The most common route is via the North-South Expressway (E1), covering about 217 miles (350 km).
Driving to Penang from Kuala Lumpur takes approximately four hours, depending on traffic conditions and the duration of your stops. It comes with the most flexibility for stops and exploration, but again, driving and parking here is not the easiest.
There isn't a direct ferry from Kuala Lumpur to Penang, but if your accommodation is on Penang Island, across the Straits. Take a bus, train, or private car to Butterworth and then hop on a ferry to George Town from there. The best part is the ferry is only about $0.50 (RM2)!
Approaching Penang from the water is a fun experience, but definitely a lot of extra hassle as after you get to Penang Island, you still need to get from the ferry dock to your final destination.
Once you get to Penang from Kuala Lumpur, you'll find the island breeze, tropical greenery, and amazing street food waiting for you. It is not easy to have a day here where you feel like you have nothing to do. Even if you put a tick next to every point in your itinerary, there is always the beach and forests to completely relax and enjoy this different atmosphere. Take a look at our list to make sure not to miss the must-dos/sees.
Penang is a treasure trove if you are a culture enthusiast, with a rich array of museums. Start exploring with the Penang State Museum and Art Gallery which serves as a glimpse into the island's historical journey and diverse cultures. For a taste of something unique, go to the Wonderfood Museum which showcases Malaysia's food heritage through larger-than-life exhibits, perfect for fun photos.
Equally fascinating is the Penang Strait Museum, which is all about the maritime history and the cultural interactions across the Malacca Strait. It will help you understand the region's role in global trade.
You will love Penang's parks and aquariums for a delightful escape. The Entopia by Penang Butterfly Farm is a magical world where butterflies roam free amidst tropical gardens. For a refreshing retreat, go for a hike in the Penang National Park which has hiking trails leading to secluded beaches and the Mermaid Pool. If swimming is not enough water for you, explore the underwater world in the Penang Aquarium, exhibiting a variety of marine life from the surrounding seas.
Have we already mentioned that Penang's food scene is legendary? Well, no matter how many times we stress it, it won’t do justice! George Town is often hailed as the food capital of Malaysia.
Beyond the famous street food stalls, local places like Tek Sen Restaurant offer a mix of traditional and modern dishes. For an intimate food adventure, try going to Kebaya Dining Room which combines classic Indo and Straits Chinese recipes with French cooking techniques.
Penang is best visited during its driest months, from December to February. This period has lots of sunny days with minimal rainfall which is ideal for exploring George Town and the stunning beaches and national parks.
The weather is comfortably warm, and the end of the year also coincides with several cultural celebrations and festivals, which is another good reason to visit during this period. The Chinese New Year, which usually falls in late January or early February, transforms the streets into a spectacle of celebration with traditional performances and festive markets.

Reasonably Priced and Safe Transportation
“Gonzalo from daytrip was our driver and he was absolutely amazing. He went over and beyond trying to locate us as our service wasn't so good on our phones. He patiently awaited our arrival to the lobby so he could take us from Tulum Dreams Resort to our other hotel in cancun an hour and a half away near the airport prior to our departure flight home. He was polite, respectful and kind. Made sure we were comfortable during our long ride. Fast and to the point. I recommend this company as finding a one way ride from Tulum to Cancun isn't easy or cheap and this company provides a great service for a great price. I will definitely be using them again whenever I'm in the Cancun/Tulum area. Thank you DayTrip and Gonzola.”
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”
transfert de Kuala lumpur à Penang en véhicule privé avec chauffeur
“Tout c'est très bien passé, Daytrip nous a fourni une photo du chauffeur et le type de véhicule qui est venu nous prendre à la réception de notre hôtel à l'heure convenue par avance.Le conducteur était prudent, parlait bien anglais et nous a donné des renseignements sur l'histoire, la géographie des lieux traversés en cours de route. Bref un voyage agréable pour un prix équivalent à ce que les taxis et vol par avion nous auraient coûté et pour un temps et des tracasserie bien moindre. Je recommande sans problème cette solution de transport en Malaisie..”
“We made a tour from Penang Island to Kuala Lumpur, and it was amazing! Alan (our driver) was very nice, friendly and funny, spoke good English and the ride was quick and efficient. I would recommend this way of traveling to anyone. The price was more then fair and we could stop and eat whenever we wanted. Really cool way to go around!”
