Hey,
I'm planning to drive down to Malacca on a weekend.
Cabbing it down to JB and then renting a car from there? Does this makes sense or would it be better to rent a car from Singapore?

On another note, everything is within walking distance in Malacca. A'Famosa, Stadhuys, St Paul's Hill, Jonker Street, museums, Malacca river, and not to mention, the famous food like chicken rice balls, Nyonya pineapple tart, satay celup, cendol etc...
So you can consider to hop on a coach and take 4 hours there.

Re: number plate
Makes perfect sense to me. All the crashed cars I see on the E2 have Singapore number plates. Malaysian number plates must increase your changes of arriving safely.Mad Scientist wrote:What the hell are you rumbling about ?

Nothing to do with it. It's just shows how bad Singapore drivers are, that's all.bgd wrote:Makes perfect sense to me. All the crashed cars I see on the E2 have Singapore number plates.

An easier way than driving
I've not been fond of driving to Malaysia because a) I'm not familiar with roads there, b) traffic police tend to suck (if you get stopped as it happened to me once).
My last trip to Malacca (with relatives) was in May and we rented a minivan from Singapore (with driver) - and the whole trip there and back went without any issues. The driver even gave use good suggestions about where to eat. And we did not have to worry about parking when we went to the town centre (some event was taking place so spaces were difficult to find) - he dropped us off and a couple of hours later we called him and he picked us up. You may want to check them out: link removed
As this is your first and only post I decided to sanitize the content as it sounds very much like a spam.
