By Car
Cars are available on per day rental basis. Just after disembarking from the ferry, many car rental agents throng the Kuah jetty exit, offering their cars at various prices. During low season, price may start from RM30 per day for a compact car; but never expect less than RM80 for the same car in the peak season. Otherwise, you can make arrangements for a car in Kuala Kedah or Kuala Perlis with any of the car agents waiting around the ferry counters. And upon reaching the island, you can pick up your car. Moreover, cars are also available on hire from the booths at the airport.
By Motorbike
Like cars, motorbikes (particularly scooters) and bicycles are also
available for rent. During peak season, motorbikes can be fetched for up
to RM25 per day. However, bicycles can be hired for RM12 per day and
also serve as a great means to explore the island. Definitely, hiring
motorbikes and bicycles is cheaper than renting a car. It is advised to
wear helmet and more so because it is required by law. Usually agents
are not strict about noticing a valid license. By Bus
Boarding buses could be another way to get around the island. However, there are a few buses that run to and from on few bus routes. Kuah and Pantai Cenang are the only two areas where regular buses can be found. In other areas, there are very few bus stations, which also have hardly any bus service. It takes long time to wait for buses and reach the destination. Usually, taking buses is not recommended to visit the island.
By Taxi
Public transport in Langkawi is mainly provided by taxis. Here, taxi fares are priced according to the destination and not by meters. It is most easy and convenient way of getting around, though it is bit expensive. A short trip can easily cost about RM15. You can also charter the taxi for a day or for few hours. Throughout the island, taxis can be easily found and chartered as per your convenience.
