ROAD trips across Malaysia’s beaches, highlands and heritage cities are some of the most memorable ways to explore the country but navigating transport logistics can be a stress point for many travellers, especially when juggling flights, accommodation and on‑ground mobility.
Trip.com is now offering a more seamless travel solution to make that easier.
The international one‑stop travel booking platform has announced a strategic partnership with Galaxy Asia Car Rental to simplify car rental bookings for travellers heading to or within Malaysia.

The company offers streamlined rental procedures and vehicle options ranging from economy cars to larger models, catering to both domestic and international travellers.

Rising mobility
According to Trip.com data, Malaysia’s car rental has seen steady growth in recent years, reflecting a rebound in tourism and a rising demand for flexible transport.
Bookings have been strong from travellers across Malaysia, as well as from China and Singapore.
While locals benefit from convenient access to vehicles, visitors from countries like Singapore and Thailand find that the familiar left-side driving orientation and available fleet options make exploring Malaysia much easier.
This trend is further substantiated by market research firm Mordor Intelligence’s findings, which project that Malaysia’s car rental market will continue to grow, driven by international arrivals and demand for independent travel options to explore beyond city centres.
Through the partnership, Galaxy Asia’s car rental options are featured on Trip.com’s platform, allowing travellers to compare prices and book vehicles alongside flights and hotels.
Trip.com branding will also be visible at major touchpoints, including airport counters, helping travellers locate their bookings quickly. Dedicated customer support in multiple languages further ensures a smoother experience for international visitors.
With key locations including Kuala Lumpur’s downtown branch and counters at Kuala Lumpur International Airport Terminals 1 and 2, the partnership means Trip.com users gain easy access to a trusted local service and the flexibility to start their journey as soon as they land.
