Kuching Driving Stress Level: 5/10

All major roads in Kuching city and suburban areas are well tarred and fairly maintained. Driving orientation is on the left (like most of the former colonies of the British Empire) and is generally slow-paced. Speed limits on dual-carriageway roads can reach a maximum of 90 km/h and can be reduced to 80 km/h or 70 km/h during festival seasons.


Tourists from cosmopolitan cities may not appreciate the driving attitude of local road users. Some drivers tend to make a turn or overtake without using indicators, and others drive beyond the speed limit. You may also find a handful of road hoggers (cars, lorries and even motorcycles alike). Honk car horns and flash high beams with careful discretion as it could seen as an aggressive act.

Kuching Airport Car Rental Recommendations


 
IHateTaxis.com recommends a Kuching Airport car rental.

Self-driving in and around Kuching can be challengingly but enjoyable. Directional signs in Kuching are inadequate and it takes a good road map and a good sense of direction to get you around. This is however a relatively convenient way to get around the city and Sarawak.
