Europcar is the cheapest company at Johor Bahru Airport for an Intermediate car, averaging £43 a day over the last 12 months. Galaxy Asia Car Rental is £47 a day and Asia Car is £48, while Avis averages £84. All 4 desks are located directly in the terminal, meaning you bypass shuttle buses entirely.

The main catch at Johor Bahru Airport is arriving without an acceptable credit card, because all 4 counters reject debit cards for security deposits. Asia Car holds no deposit, but Europcar holds £457 and Avis holds £366. In Johor, a credit card is not just preferred, it is the only key that turns the ignition. If you are meeting clients on a tight schedule, Asia Car records a 17-minute wait at the desk.

For business trips from Johor Bahru Airport, choose an Intermediate like the Honda Civic at £54 a day in October 2026, which seats 5 with room for 4 bags. A Compact like the Proton Persona costs £37 a day but holds only 3 bags, while an Economy Proton Saga is £31 a day with room for just 2 bags. Because 100% of cars offered at the airport are automatic, you do not need to pay extra or search separately for an automatic gearbox. Electric and hybrid cars are not available in the fleet, so plan entirely on petrol.
