Driving Trips in Malaysia

• Entry to Malaysia
  Driving to Malaysia is a great way to see the
  Malaysia Peninsula. Check with Hawk customer
  service officers before setting off to ensure that
  your Rental Agreement includes entry to Malaysia
  and you are free to go.
  
  
There are two entry points into the southern tip of
Malaysia, the state of Johor. The oldest and most
popular is the causeway at Woodlands at the
northern tip of Singapore, which leads directly into
the heart of Johor's biggest city, Johor Bahru. The
second entry point is the Second Link at Tuas,
Singapore's western edge. For more information on
the Second Link, please check its website at www.linkedua.com.

At both checkpoints, drivers are expected to pay a
toll which is payable only with the cash card. Tolls
in Malaysia are payable in Malaysia Ringgit only.
So remember to have some Malaysia Ringgit
before you start your journey.
