New RV Regulations in Malaysia from 2026

Malaysia will begin licensing RV rentals for commercial use from January 1, 2026. The new framework legalizes self-drive tourist hire vehicles across the country, including privately owned motorhomes registered before December 31, 2025, provided they are under 15 years old and pass a technical inspection. The policy aims to formalize the tourism sector and curb illegal transport services.

High costs hinder motorhome popularization in Malaysia despite new rental policy

Malaysia now allows motorhomes to be registered for commercial self-drive rental. However, a 15-year age limit, high purchase and inspection costs, and unclear insurance details are expected to raise daily rental rates from 600 to 1000 Malaysian ringgit. The development of campground infrastructure and a service network is also seen as a multi-year challenge.
