BEST Motorcycle & Car Rental In Kota Kinabalu, Sabah

There are plenty of Motorcycle & Car Rental companies In Kota Kinabalu (KK) that you can find online but almost 80% of them are not registered. While they are often cheaper but it comes with a significant risk.

In this article, I will share both the Cheapest car and motorcycle rental in Kota Kinabalu. At the bottom of this article, I have also shared other articles on the things you can do in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah.

250CC – 800CC (Mr Jeffrey Soon)

An active avid rider himself, Jeffrey knows his way around Sabah roads, both on and off the road, and has a well-stocked garage. A great guy to deal with and perhaps you can ask him for more off-road routes if that is something you would prefer to do.

For BMW F850 – GS1250 and/or if you need a fully escorted premium motorcycle Sabah Tour, you can Contact Silas Dema Michael.

Silas is an accredited BMW-trained On/Offroad Ride Instructor & Tour Guide. Always on two wheels, he loves offroading on 250kg bikes and knows Sarawak and Sabah on the back of his hand.

He is also a good planner and an ideal man if a Premium Motorcycle Tour of Borneo (not just Sabah) is required.
