Corporate car rental and chauffeur service in Kuala Lumpur

Updated · By the Grandpride team, Petaling Jaya

Draft, not public. 8 questions for Grandpride to answer before this is published, highlighted below.

BMW i7

Most corporate car rental in Kuala Lumpur is one of four jobs: meeting a visitor at KLIA, keeping a car and driver on hand for a day of meetings, giving a staff member a car for a project, or putting a company car on the books for good. Grandpride does all four. Chauffeured cars run from RM 150 an hour for a Toyota Vellfire or RM 300 an hour for a Mercedes-Benz S-Class; self-drive cars go by the day; and there's a Corporate Lease to Own programme. Whoever books, the online payment is a RM 50 booking fee that comes off the total.

A director or client is landing at KLIA

Book a chauffeur. They meet guests at arrivals in KLIA 1 and 2, and if you add the flight number the flight is monitored, so a delay doesn't leave anyone standing around. Ask for a nameboard and the chauffeur will be holding it when your guest walks out.

Bentley Bentayga Mansory52RM 800RM 2,500

For a visiting chairman travelling alone or with one other person, take the S-Class, the i7 or the Bentayga. For a small delegation with luggage, the Lexus LM300H.

Airport fares are flat for trips under 80 km, day or night; our KLIA transfer guide explains that rule and how to choose a car by luggage. Selected cars have onboard Wi-Fi, so a guest can work between the airport and the first meeting. Each car has its own page on the chauffeur overview. Grandpride was awarded Best Malaysia Chauffeur Company in 2019 and 2021 CHECK: awarding body. For principals who expect a particular standard, VIP chauffeur service in Kuala Lumpur covers what to ask for.

When the PA does the booking

An assistant or event coordinator can book. Choose "Booking for someone else" and enter the passenger's name and phone number, and the chauffeur contacts them directly on the day. Get that number right: it can't be changed once the order is placed.

A roadshow, site visits or an event day

Hire a car that waits. Hourly bookings run from 3 to 23 hours with as many stops as the day needs.

  • Book more than 12 hours and 10% comes off.
  • Hours starting between 7 pm and 11 pm are charged at +30%, and between 11 pm and 7 am at +50%. Keep that in mind when you schedule dinners.
  • One-way trips are priced on distance. Genting Highlands is a flat fare in the Vellfire, Alphard, S-Class and i7.

Hourly chauffeur prices in Kuala Lumpur works through those bands with examples, which helps when you're budgeting a long day.

For a team, use MPVs: a Vellfire or an Alphard takes seven. Bigger group, more cars; send the full schedule on WhatsApp so every car is planned together. Online chauffeur bookings need at least two days' notice, and a Grandpride representative then confirms each trip by phone. For anything sooner, call or WhatsApp +6010 322 3223 CHECK: can short-notice chauffeur bookings be accepted by phone?.

For a company dinner, the chauffeurs take guests home at the end of the night too. Company annual dinner transport goes through planning a whole evening of it.

A staff member needs a car for a project

Not every trip needs a driver. A project team or a manager covering several sites may just need keys.

We deliver to the office, free within 10 km of the Petaling Jaya showroom and RM 100 elsewhere in the Klang Valley, or a colleague can collect in store. Book in the name of whoever will drive, though. Only the named renter may drive a self-drive car and additional drivers can't be added, so staff can't share one booking; give each driver their own car, or use a chauffeur. Every rental includes 120 km a day, and mileage packages and a Touch 'n Go card can be added as you book.

Companies also use Grandpride for long-term rentals for management and events CHECK: what monthly or long-term rates apply to companies, and is there a minimum term?. Daily, weekly and monthly car rental compares a long rental with a subscription. Whether a company can take out a subscription is CHECK: is car subscription available to companies as well as individuals?.

An executive who wants protection

Grandpride supplies drivers and bodyguards whose personnel typically come from military and law-enforcement backgrounds CHECK: KDN licence number or licensed partner. Per 8-hour day: a driver for your own car RM 385, a bodyguard RM 440, a driver cum bodyguard RM 495, with overtime by the hour. Bodyguard cost in Malaysia shows how the overtime adds up, and requests go through the driver and bodyguard form.

The company wants to own its cars

That's what the Grandpride Corporate Lease to Own Programme is for, and it's aimed especially at newly formed companies. No bank is involved; Grandpride decides in-house.

  • Terms of 12 to 36 months, with a down payment when you sign.
  • Repayments arranged around your term, and no mileage limit.
  • The car is yours at the end.
  • Cars are Grandpride Certified: late models under 70,000 km, checked inside and out, with an up-to-date service record.
  • Road tax, insurance and special number plates can be arranged in-house, separately from the lease.

How the contract is structured: CHECK: lawyer to confirm how the lease-to-own contract is structured. Corporate terms may differ from the individual programme CHECK: eligibility and documents for the corporate programme. The Lease to Own page has the details, and lease to own in Malaysia explains how it compares.

Invoices and payment

Every price is itemised before you reserve. The RM 50 booking fee is paid online, and the rest in full in store or in person CHECK: does Grandpride offer corporate accounts, monthly invoicing, one invoice for several bookings, or credit terms, and can invoices, including e-invoices, be issued in the company's name?. If your finance team needs something specific, contact us before the first booking rather than after; for a single trip, the chauffeur booking page is quicker.
