The ultimate guide to getting from Singapore to Kuala Lumpur by car – how to cross the border from Singapore to Malaysia, with stops in historic Melaka and stunning Putrajaya.

We teamed up with AVIS Malaysia to show you just how easy it is to rent a car and drive in Malaysia. I promise it’s nothing like other crazy parts of South East Asia. The roads are much safer, there definitely aren’t as many motorbikes and people actually tend to follow the road rules.

We also explain where to find buses from Singapore to Kuala Lumpur – the drive is roughly 4-5 hours depending on traffic. If you are travelling as a family, we can’t recommend the flexibility of renting a car more. Plus, you can make plenty of pit-stops along the way to explore places like Malacca, Malaysia and the seat of the government, Putrajaya.
