🚗マレーシアで始める安心カーライフ
マレーシアの移動手段は基本的に“車”が中心。都市部には電車やバスもありますが、生活の自由度や快適さを考えると、自家用車の有無が暮らしの質を大きく左右します。特にお子様の送迎や買い物、通勤がある方には、車はほぼ必須といえるでしょう。
街づくりも車移動が前提で、歩道がなかったり信号が少なかったりと、徒歩移動は想像以上に不便。強い日差しやスコールも加わり、徒歩10分でも体力を消耗します。モントキアラやブキッ・ビンタンなど一部では徒歩生活も可能ですが、そうしたエリアは限られています。
だからこそ、自家用車があると生活の自由度は大きく広がります。Tabinikoでは、車の購入・レンタルからアフターサポートまで、日本語でトータルにサポートしています。
🚘マレーシアの運転・車事情のポイント
•右ハンドル・左側通行で日本と同じ。運転そのものに大きな違和感はありません。
•車社会のため、ショッピングモールや学校などには基本的に駐車場完備。
•一方で、交通マナーは日本とは大きく異なり、突然の車線変更やUターンも日常茶飯事。
•道路の作りが複雑な場所も多く、最初はナビや土地勘の勉強が必要です。
•車のトラブル時には、何をどこに頼めばよいかを知っていないと困ることが多いです。

Q1. Is a car necessary in Malaysia?
A1. While public transportation such as the MRT and LRT is available in central Kuala Lumpur, having a private car is much more convenient if you live in the suburbs or commute to international schools. Especially for school drop-offs, shopping, and getting around during heavy rain, having a car can significantly reduce daily stress.
Q2. Are Cars Expensive in Malaysia?
A2. Local car brands like Perodua and Proton are relatively affordable, with new vehicles generally priced between RM40,000 and RM70,000. These are widely used for daily commuting and are known for their cost-efficiency.
In contrast, imported cars—especially Japanese or European models—are typically more expensive due to import taxes and duties. Some models may cost significantly more than local ones, depending on features and specifications.
Malaysia also has an active used car market, where many vehicles are available in the RM20,000 to RM30,000 range. These lower-cost options are suitable for budget-conscious drivers who still want reliable transportation.
Another option is “Recond Cars”—reconditioned used vehicles imported mainly from Japan or Singapore. These are often higher-end models such as Toyota Vellfire, Alphard, BMW, and Mercedes-Benz. They usually cost around RM150,000 to RM300,000 and come with a like-new look and advanced features. However, buyers should check the quality of the refurbishment and whether a warranty is included.
Q3. I don’t speak Malay. Can I still buy a car in Malaysia?
A3. Yes, you can. While most procedures—such as the sales contract, insurance, ownership transfer, road tax, and Puspakom inspection—are conducted in Malay or English, we provide full support in English to guide you through every step with confidence.
Q4. Which is better: a new car or a used car?
A4. If you're staying in Malaysia for more than two years, buying a car is recommended. New or used depends on your budget and preferences—used cars are more affordable but vary in condition. Be sure to buy from a trusted seller and, if possible, check the car in person.
Q5. Is it safe to buy a used car in Malaysia?
A5. The quality and price of used cars can vary greatly depending on factors like age, mileage, and maintenance history. In some cases, auction-sourced vehicles or those with accident history may not be clearly disclosed, so it's important to proceed with caution.
When Tabiniko assists with used car purchases, we only work with trusted dealers we personally recommend. Upon request, we can also support you with video inspections and arrange Puspakom checks—Malaysia’s official safety inspection required during ownership transfer.
👉 Please note that the condition and warranty of the vehicle ultimately depend on the selling dealer. Final decisions should be made at your own discretion after reviewing the details carefully.
Q6. I’m worried about maintenance and car troubles after purchase…
A6. In Malaysia, repair and maintenance services are often handled by separate specialists depending on the issue—for example, tire punctures, body paint, air conditioning, or lighting repairs each have their own dedicated shops. Oil changes are typically done at local garages, while electrical diagnostics and warranty claims are usually handled by authorized dealers.
At Tabiniko, we introduce trusted specialists to customers who are enrolled in our car support or lifestyle support services. Since car-related scams and poor service do occur even locally, choosing the right workshop is essential for a worry-free car life.
Q7. I’m not sure whether to buy or rent a car.
A7. If you're staying in Malaysia for more than two years, purchasing a car is generally recommended. For stays shorter than one month, renting is more suitable. Car rentals are available for a minimum of two weeks, with monthly rates typically ranging from RM1,800 to RM3,500.
We can recommend the best option based on how often and for what purpose you plan to use the car, so feel free to consult with us.
Q8. What should I do in case of a breakdown or accident?
A8. In case of an accident, contact your insurance company. You may also need to report it to the police. If you're using Tabiniko’s car or lifestyle support services, we’ll assist you via phone or message during emergencies.
Q9. What should I do if I get a flat tire?
A9. In Malaysia, you can get a flat tire repaired at local “Kedai Tayar” (tire shops) for around RM20 and up. Tire replacements typically cost RM100–300 per tire. While it's possible to change to a spare tire yourself, it's safer to visit a shop if you're not familiar with the process.
It's also recommended to check air pressure regularly and inspect your tires every 2–3 years.
If you're using Tabiniko’s support services, we can advise you via phone or message in case of trouble.
Q10. Are there authorized service centers in Malaysia?
A10. Yes, most major car brands like Toyota, Honda, Proton, and Perodua have authorized service centers. These are commonly used for regular maintenance and warranty support for new cars. However, costs are generally higher compared to local workshops.
Q11. Which workshop should I go to, and how much does it cost?
A11. It depends on the type of repair. Each workshop specializes in different services, and costs vary based on the damage and number of parts involved. The following are general estimates:
-
Tire repair/replacement: Tire shop (from RM20)
-
Oil change: Local workshop (from RM80)
-
Air-cond repair: A/C specialist (from RM200)
-
Dent/scratch repair: Body & paint shop (from RM300)
-
Battery replacement: Electrical shop (from RM150)
Authorized service centers offer peace of mind but are usually more expensive and slower. Local workshops are cheaper but vary in quality. When possible, observe the repair process or go through a trusted provider to ensure better results.

Many come with higher specs or special features not available through local dealers—making them appealing to those seeking unique options.
They’re a smart choice for anyone wanting near-new quality at a more affordable price.
