Supercar hire
FAQ

Where an answer is a hard no — circuit use, unnamed drivers, a 21-year-old on the supercar tier — we say so here and not at the handover desk. Where a number applies, it is the real number.

01

Eligibility

How old do I have to be to rent a supercar in Kuala Lumpur?+

Twenty-three for the sports and supercar tiers, with at least two years of continuous licence history. The entry tier — Civic RS, A200, A5, Golf GTI — opens at 21 with one year held. These are insurance conditions, not house preferences, so we cannot move them for a birthday or a good reason.

I have a foreign licence. Can I drive?+

Yes, if you bring your home licence plus either an International Driving Permit or a certified English translation. We check both at handover and photograph them for the agreement. Without the IDP or translation we cannot release the car, because our policy will not cover the drive and neither of us wants to discover that after an incident.

Can I add a second driver?+

Yes, at handover, and they must be present with their own documents and meet the same age and licence-history criteria as the primary renter. An unnamed driver at the wheel voids cover entirely, which means the full value of the car sits with you and not with the insurer. It is the single most expensive shortcut anyone takes with a rental.

02

Money

What is the security deposit and when do I get it back?+

It is a refundable hold, not a charge, and the amount is printed on every car page — it scales with the replacement cost of the car, not with the daily rate. We release it after the return inspection, typically within three to five working days, and the timing after that belongs to your bank and not to us. Anything deducted is itemised with photographs.

What is the insurance excess and how is it different from the deposit?+

The deposit is our hold against damage, fuel, tolls and fines. The excess is the fixed first portion of any insurance claim that you carry before the policy pays. They are separate numbers and both apply. If you kerb a wheel and the repair is below the excess, it comes out of the deposit and the insurer is never involved.

Is the mileage unlimited?+

No, and be suspicious of anyone offering unlimited mileage on a supercar. Every car includes 130 km a day, 910 a week or 4,000 a month — enough for a Genting or Bentong day without thinking about it — with a per-kilometre rate beyond that. Tyres on these cars cost four figures a corner and consumables are the honest reason the limit exists.

Do you charge extra for a weekend or a public holiday?+

The Friday-to-Monday block is priced below three separate days, so a weekend is cheaper per day, not more expensive. Long public-holiday weekends and the run-up to Chinese New Year are the two periods where availability, not price, becomes the problem — book those a month out.

03

The cars

What does naturally aspirated actually mean and why does it matter here?+

It means the engine draws air at atmospheric pressure with no turbocharger or supercharger forcing it in. The practical effect is instant throttle response and a power curve that builds towards the redline instead of arriving flat and early. The Huracán's V10, the Aventador's V12 and the GT3's flat-six are the only atmospheric engines we hold, and they are the ones enthusiasts specifically ask for.

Which car in the fleet is actually the quickest?+

Off the line, the GT-R and the Aventador S share a 2.9-second 0–100 figure and the GT-R will usually win a real-world launch because its all-wheel-drive system and rear transaxle put the power down harder. For top speed the Aventador is comfortably ahead. Our comparison table on the fleet page sorts by all three figures, so you can check it instead of taking our word.

Can I take a rental car onto the circuit at Sepang?+

No. Circuit running, sprints, hill climbs and timed events are excluded from every insurance policy in the Malaysian rental market, ours included. If you want circuit time, book through Sepang International Circuit's own programmes on their cars with their cover. We will happily drive you down and park in front of your garage all weekend.

04

Driving

How do I not destroy the clutch in KL traffic?+

Leave the gearbox in full automatic, leave a two-car gap so you roll instead of creeping, and never hold the car stationary on an incline with the throttle — use the brake and let the hill-hold do its job. Dual-clutch gearboxes manage creep by slipping a clutch pack, and slipping it for forty minutes in 34-degree heat is what actually kills them.

Will the car clear speed humps and basement ramps?+

With the nose lift raised and taken diagonally at walking pace, yes, everywhere we deliver. The lift adds around 40 millimetres at the front axle and takes about three seconds to deploy. Mont Kiara basements are the tightest we regularly handle and we walk the ramp with you at handover so you know the scrape point before you need it.

What happens if it rains? These are wide tyres on a hot road.+

The first ten minutes of a Malaysian downpour are the dangerous part, because months of rubber and diesel film lift off the tarmac before the water washes it away. Slow down, put the car in its softest drive mode, leave the traction control fully on, and give standing water an enormous margin. Aquaplaning risk on 305-section rear tyres is real and no drive mode fixes it.

05

Logistics

Can you deliver the car to my hotel or condominium?+

Yes, anywhere in the Klang Valley, and to KLIA or KLIA2 with 24 hours' notice. Condominiums generally need the visitor plate pre-registered with management, so send us the details the day before. For low cars we always ask about basement height bars and ramp profile first — that one question prevents most of the problems.

What is the fuel policy?+

Full to full, RON 97 on everything with a turbocharger or a high compression ratio, which is most of this fleet. Filling a supercar with RON 95 to save eleven ringgit causes the ECU to retard timing and, in the worst case, does real damage. The correct grade is stated on the fuel-filler flap and repeated on the agreement.

How far in advance should I book?+

Two weeks for a specific supercar on a specific weekend, longer over public holidays. Cars come off the board for servicing and detailing with no notice, and the Huracán, GT3 and Aventador S are single units, not a pool — if you want that exact car on that exact date, early is the only strategy that works.

Not covered here?

Ask the awkward one.

Tyre spec, service history, whether a specific basement ramp will take a specific car, what the excess is on the exact vehicle you want. Call +60 11-1102 0111 or send it in writing and you will get a straight answer.
