Travel Tips
Car Rental
When you arrive at Langkawi consider renting a car. Due to the island's duty free status you can get cars for as cheap as RM50 per day! There are a lot of places to discover with your own transport and being able to move around independently will definitely enhance your Langkawi experience. By Tilo on March 18, 2008
