About SOCAR
SOCAR is Malaysia's largest car-sharing app. You can rent vehicles by the hour, making it convenient for life without a car — perfect for IKEA shopping runs or weekend getaways. Stations are widely available in apartment parking lots and malls, and the entire process from unlocking to return is completed via the app. Foreigners should verify driving license requirements in advance.
