    The car we got was the make and model we booked. Though the car was a bit not so perfect in both internal and external condition, safety and reliability were satisfactory. No extra insurance was sold to us over the counter after I showed them my AXA additional cover that I bought together in my booking.

    They don't have an office at the airport, but when I called they responded immediately. The return process went smoothly, although it was in the airport parking lot outside of the office's business hours. The car was a Toyota VIOS with over 80,000 km on it. There were some minor scratches on the exterior, and the interior was not necessarily clean, but there was plenty of luggage space and cabin space, and the car ran smoothly without any trouble.

    We rented a car from Kota Kinabalu to Semporna, but the car broke down on the way. There was no power when stepping on the gas pedal. We called the rental company to report it, and they initially said to keep driving to Semporna and they would replace the car there. Since we were staying on Mabul Island for 4 nights, we parked the car in Semporna. When we came back from our holiday, they neither replaced the car nor fixed it. We had to drive uphill at 30 km/h, which was extremely frustrating. One cylinder wasn't working, so we had to start and stop all the way to Kota Kinabalu. Finally, the rental company refunded us for 2 days of rental.

    Firstly, the car was quite old, with over 100,000 km on it. The steering wheel was very heavy, even heavier than the old Jeep I used for driving lessons. Additionally, they did not inform us about parking guidelines in Kota Kinabalu. We got fined RM30 for not displaying a parking card in a legitimate parking space. I parked for one day, and the rental company charged me RM30, but they could potentially park for free for the remaining 29 days. Is that how it works? Dissatisfied!

    Even though the rental fee was fully paid in advance and both Visa and MasterCard credit cards were provided for the deposit, the rental company insisted on accepting only a single Visa or MasterCard credit card. Many Chinese credit cards require an additional UnionPay certification, and this was not accepted. Offering a cash deposit was also refused, which wasted a lot of time and disrupted our schedule.

It took us 2 hours to get in touch with someone from the rental company. The car they delivered had an empty fuel tank and the GPS navigation system we reserved online was missing. We had to wait another 20 minutes for them to bring it. If you're planning to visit Sabah, do not rent a car from this company, you'll definitely regret it!!!
