The current Mercedes-AMG G63 stands 1,966 mm tall and is about two metres wide without its mirrors. Those two numbers decide most of what a G-Wagon rental in Malaysia is like, from the car parks you can use to how you take a narrow lane. Grandpride rents the Mercedes-AMG G63 as a self-drive car at RM 5,500 a day, with 120 km a day and Basic Cover included. CHECK: model year of the Grandpride G63, so the size and engine figures on this page match the car
The handover
You can collect the G63 at the showroom in Section 13, Petaling Jaya, or have it brought to you. Delivery is free within 10 km of the showroom, RM 100 anywhere else in the Klang Valley, and quoted separately beyond that. If you can't be there, a friend or your PA can take the keys, as long as their details are on the booking. Only the named renter drives, though, so the person collecting may not be the person driving.
Before you sign, walk round the car with your phone out. Big wheels and wide arches pick up kerb marks, so photograph all four wheels as well as the panels; our rental car inspection checklist covers the rest. Note the fuel gauge too. The car goes back at the same level, and a large petrol V8 in a body that weighs more than two and a half tonnes uses fuel at a rate you'll notice.
A Touch 'n Go card, if you ticked it, is on the key ring with whatever balance you picked (RM 50 at the least, RM 500 at the most).
Behind the wheel
You sit high and upright, behind a flat windscreen, and the square body makes it easier to judge where the corners are. That helps, because there is a lot of it. The second-generation G63 (2018 onwards) has a 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 and a nine-speed automatic; the earlier model used a 5.5-litre twin-turbo V8. Either way it's quick in a straight line. The weight shows up under braking and in tight bends, so leave more room to stop than you would in a saloon, especially on the way down from Genting, where our guide on driving up Genting Highlands explains using a lower gear.
KL lanes and motorcycles
In town, the width matters more than the height. Older roads in PJ and KL have narrow lanes and parked cars on both sides, and motorcycles filter between lanes in slow traffic. Check the mirror and the blind spot every time before you move across, and give bikes the room you'd want if you were on one. Our guide to driving with motorcycles in KL goes into what's legal and what's merely common.
Two more things. Afternoon thunderstorms arrive quickly in the Klang Valley, and a tall, heavy car needs more distance on a flooded road. And the default expressway limit is 110 km/h, lower on many stretches, which a G63 reaches without any sense of effort.
Parking it
- Basement and multi-storey car parks post a clearance limit at the entrance. Read it before you're committed to the ramp, and watch for low pipes and signs once you're inside.
- In a standard bay you'll have little room to open the doors. Reverse into an end bay or a wider family bay and getting out is easier, and the car next to you is less likely to meet your door.
- At hotels and restaurants with valet, hand it over and skip the spiral ramp.
- Street parking in Kuala Lumpur is cashless and paid by app; parking in Kuala Lumpur explains which apps and how.
Out of town
A G-Class has three locking differentials and was built to leave the tarmac, but a rental day is not the time to test that CHECK: may rented cars be driven on unsealed roads or off-road?. The car stays in Peninsular Malaysia.
The 120 km a day covers most days in the Klang Valley. For Genting or a run down to the coast, add 50 km or 100 km a day, or unlimited mileage, when you book. Unlimited costs less per kilometre than paying the per-km rate afterwards.
What a G-Wagon day costs in total
The day rate is the starting point. On top of it, only what you choose:
| Item | How it's priced |
|---|---|
| G63 day rate | RM 5,500 a day, 120 km and Basic Cover included |
| Loss Damage Waiver | Priced for the car, lowers your excess |
| Grandpride Protection+ | Priced for the car, zero excess on damage and theft, glass and tyres included |
| Extra mileage | +50 km a day, +100 km a day, or unlimited |
| Touch 'n Go card | RM 50 to RM 500, you pay exactly what is loaded |
| Fuel | Yours: return it at the level you collected it |
Large alloy wheels are expensive to scrape, and Protection+ takes the excess on damage to zero, tyres included, so it's the option to look at first. CHECK: deposit amount and refund time for the G63 CHECK: minimum age and licence needed to rent the G63 You reserve with a RM 50 booking fee online, which comes off the total, then pay the rest in store or in person.

Before you book
How much does it cost to rent a G-Wagon for a day?
One day in the G63 is RM 5,500. That buys 120 km of driving and Basic Cover; anything else on the bill is something you ticked yourself while booking.
Can you rent a G-Wagon with a driver?
The G63 is listed for self-drive. If you'd rather sit in the back, the chauffeur service has cars that come with a driver, including the Bentley Bentayga Mansory and the BMW i7.
Berapa harga sewa G-Wagon sehari?
