Pulau Langkawi - getting there

By Car

There are a number of take-off points to Langkawi Island - from the Georgetown jetty in Penang, Kuala Kedah jetty in the Kedah and Kuala Perlis jetty in Perlis. So head for any of these jetties depending on which is most convenient to you. There is a cargo ferry that operates from Kuala Kedah in Kedah to Tanjung Lumbung in Langkawi. The cargo ferry leaves around 11.00am and charges for transporting cars depend on the model e.g. Proton model RM100 per way and takes one day to arrive. Meantime you will have to get on a passenger ferry and pick up the car the day after it leaves K.Kedah. Don't forget to bring along the car registration. This may only be worth the trouble if you spend a week or more.

Otherwise, you can park your car at the 24hour car parks close to the jetties and take the passenger ferries across. At Kuala Kedah, it costs between RM9 to RM11 per day to park at the 24hour car parks situated close to the jetty.
