Arriving Late at KLIA?
Your Car Can Still Be Ready
Pre-arranged MKAZ car pickup at KLIA and KLIA2 is available for eligible confirmed bookings until 1:30 a.m. Out-of-Hours Fees apply depending on your confirmed pickup time.
A late flight does not always have to mean waiting until the next morning to collect your rental car.
For eligible confirmed bookings, MKAZ can arrange late-night vehicle pickup at KLIA and KLIA2 until 1:30 a.m.
The service is designed for travellers whose flights arrive late in the evening or who may only be ready to leave the terminal after normal operating hours.
Can I collect an MKAZ rental car after midnight at KLIA?
Yes. Eligible customers can arrange pre-confirmed vehicle pickup at KLIA or KLIA2 until 1:30 a.m.. For a vehicle handover between 12:00 a.m. and 1:59 a.m., the applicable KLIA / KLIA2 Out-of-Hours Fee is RM45. Advance arrangement is required and urgent or last-minute requests may not always be available.
1. How Late-Night Pickup Works
Late-night airport pickup is a pre-arranged vehicle handover. It is not an on-demand or walk-in service.
The vehicle, operations staff and meeting arrangement need to be prepared before you arrive, particularly when your collection takes place after normal operating hours.
Book Your Vehicle in Advance
Make your reservation before travelling and select the correct KLIA or KLIA2 pickup date and expected collection time.
Inform MKAZ That You Are Arriving Late
Let the team know in advance if your expected collection will take place during the evening, late at night or after midnight.
Provide Your Flight Details
Share your correct flight number and arrival terminal. This helps the operations team understand your expected arrival timing and prepare for the handover.
Keep Your Phone Reachable
Once you land, keep your phone or WhatsApp accessible. Immigration, baggage collection and airport procedures can affect the actual time you are ready to collect your vehicle.
Follow the Confirmed Handover Instructions
Once you are ready to leave the terminal, follow the meeting instructions shared by the MKAZ operations team and complete the vehicle handover.
2. How Much Is the Out-of-Hours Fee?
An Out-of-Hours Fee applies to vehicle pickups or returns requested outside MKAZ's standard operating hours.
The applicable amount depends on the confirmed pickup or return time.
| KLIA / KLIA2 Pickup or Return Time | Out-of-Hours Fee |
|---|---|
| 5:30 PM – 7:59 PM | RM15 |
| 8:00 PM – 9:59 PM | RM25 |
| 10:00 PM – 11:59 PM | RM35 |
| 12:00 AM – 1:59 AM | RM45 |
Collecting your car after midnight?
If your confirmed vehicle handover takes place between 12:00 a.m. and 1:59 a.m., the applicable KLIA / KLIA2 Out-of-Hours Fee is RM45. MKAZ's pre-arranged late-night pickup coverage for this service is available until 1:30 a.m..
The Out-of-Hours Fee is an additional service charge and is separate from the vehicle rental charges and any other applicable delivery, collection or rental-related fees.
3. You Need to Inform MKAZ in Advance
Late-night vehicle pickup requires additional coordination. The team needs enough time to schedule staff, prepare the vehicle and confirm the airport handover arrangement.
If your flight is already scheduled to arrive late, inform MKAZ during the booking process or as soon as your travel plans are confirmed.
Urgent or same-night requests may not be available.
Please do not assume a midnight pickup can be arranged simply by contacting the team after you have already landed. Requests made at short notice, after business hours or on the same night are subject to staff and operational availability and may not be accommodated.
The earlier you inform the team, the easier it is to confirm whether the requested handover time can be supported.
4. Is Late-Night Pickup Available at Both KLIA Terminals?
Yes. Pre-arranged late-night vehicle collection can be coordinated for eligible bookings at both KLIA terminals.
Terminal 1
Eligible customers arriving through KLIA Terminal 1 can arrange an after-hours vehicle handover in advance, subject to confirmed booking details and availability.
Terminal 2
Pre-arranged late-night pickup is also available for eligible customers arriving through KLIA Terminal 2, subject to confirmation.
5. What Happens If Your Flight Is Delayed?
Flight delays happen, particularly during evening and late-night travel.
If your flight timing changes, inform MKAZ as soon as you receive the updated information.
Send the update as early as possible.
Earlier notice gives the operations team more time to review the revised arrival schedule and determine whether the original handover arrangement can still proceed.
If a flight delay causes your expected vehicle collection to fall outside the confirmed late-night pickup window, an alternative arrangement may be required.
Availability beyond the confirmed arrangement is not guaranteed.
6. What Should You Prepare Before Arrival?
Having the correct information and documents ready can make your late-night vehicle collection much smoother.
7. Why Can't It Always Be Arranged at the Last Minute?
A late-night airport handover involves more than simply leaving a vehicle at the terminal.
The vehicle must be prepared, the correct arrival terminal must be confirmed, the handover needs to be scheduled and an operations team member must be available at the required time.
This is why advance confirmation matters.
Late-night pickup is pre-arranged, not on-demand.
A request for collection outside operating hours is only confirmed once MKAZ has accepted the arrangement. Urgent requests remain subject to operational availability and should not be assumed to be available automatically.
8. What Happens After You Collect the Car?
Once the vehicle handover is completed, you can continue directly towards your destination rather than arranging another transfer and returning to collect a car the following morning.
This can be especially convenient for travellers heading towards Kuala Lumpur, Cyberjaya, Putrajaya, Sepang or other destinations after arriving at the airport.
If you are unfamiliar with the airport collection process, make sure you follow the exact meeting instructions shared by the MKAZ team before arrival.
9. Late Arrival, Real Support
Travel does not always happen between nine and five.
A flight may land late. Immigration may take longer than expected. Baggage may take time to arrive.
MKAZ's late-night KLIA and KLIA2 handover option is designed around these real travel situations.
It is part of what we call Malaysian Drive-pitality — real support from real people, designed to make your journey easier from the moment you arrive.
Arriving late? Arrange it before you fly.
Book your vehicle in advance, provide your correct flight details and confirm your late-night pickup arrangement with MKAZ before arrival.
