The biggest catch at Langkawi Airport is that all 3 counters require a credit card for the deposit and refuse debit cards entirely. Arriving with only a debit card means leaving without a vehicle, as no desks accept one. Navigating the island is tight and slow, so paying extra to hire a massive vehicle simply buys you extra headaches when parking. Europcar and Sea Safari offer full-to-full fuel, while Green Motion does not.
