Car Hire Penang Airport Useful Information

Although Penang is not a large airport it has all the usual facilities you would expect from an international airport handling over four million passengers a year. It is situated around 10 miles south of Georgetown, the capital of Penang, in the Bayan Lepas area.
 

Here's some information to help you navigate the roads and understand the distances to towns and attractions:

1. Road Conditions: The road conditions on Penang Island are generally good, with well-maintained roads. However, traffic congestion is common, especially in and around George Town, the island's capital. Road signs are in English, Bahasa Malaysia (the official language of Malaysia), and Chinese.

2. Main Route: The main route from Penang Airport to the popular tourist areas, such as Batu Ferringhi and George Town, typically involves using Jalan Tun Dr. Awang and Lebuhraya Tun Dr. Lim Chong Eu (commonly known as the Penang Bridge).

3. Distance to Towns:

  • George Town: George Town, the capital city of Penang, is approximately 20 kilometers (about 12.4 miles) from the airport. The journey usually takes around 30 to 45 minutes, depending on traffic conditions.
  • Batu Ferringhi: Batu Ferringhi, a popular beach destination, is located on the northwest coast of the island, approximately 31 kilometers (about 19.3 miles) from the airport. The drive can take about 45 minutes to 1 hour, depending on traffic.
  • Penang Hill: If you plan to visit Penang Hill, it's about 20 kilometers (about 12.4 miles) from the airport. The drive may take around 30 to 45 minutes.

Driving in Penang can be a convenient way to explore the island, especially if you plan to visit various attractions. Be mindful of traffic conditions, especially during peak hours, and consider using navigation apps for directions. Keep in mind that Penang is a popular tourist destination, and traffic can be heavy, so patience is often required.  As well as being a final destination for many visitors it is also a popular stopover point for flights from the UK and Europe to other places in the Far East and also to Australia and New Zealand
