Malaysia’s KTMB to resume Kuching-Bintulu-Sibu-Miri rail services from June 1

KUCHING, 29 SEPTEMBER 2026 —

Rentaka Logistics rolls out transparent RORO vehicle‑shipping rates from Port Klang to four Sarawak ports, with a sedan to Kuching priced at RM2,450

Rentaka Logistics announced a tiered pricing schedule for roll‑on‑roll‑off (RORO) transport of vehicles from Port Klang to the main Sarawak ports of Kuching (Pending Terminal), Bintulu, Sibu and Miri. The company’s tariff sheet shows a motorbike starts at RM1,390, a sedan at RM2,450 and an SUV or MPV at RM2,580 for the Kuching route.

For Bintulu, the sedan rate is RM2,300, while rates for Sibu and Miri are provided on request, according to the firm’s latest release.

The sea‑leg to Kuching takes five to seven days, and six to eight days to the other three ports, giving a total transit time of ten to fourteen days from loading at Port Klang to final delivery in Sarawak. Rentaka emphasized that marine insurance is quoted separately, based on the insured value of each vehicle, and that real‑time updates are sent via WhatsApp throughout the journey, the statement said.

“Customers receive a full audit trail – delivery order, completion form and photos at each stage – from loading at our Klang yard to off‑loading at the Sarawak terminal,” the company’s announcement read. The service also includes a door‑to‑door pickup option for an additional RM250, and a strict inspection regime with vehicles stored in a fenced transit yard 24 hours a day while awaiting vessel loading.

Rentaka’s own officers in Kuching, Bintulu, Sibu and Miri handle customs clearance and final delivery, ensuring a seamless handover once the ship docks, the release noted. The firm warned that choosing the correct destination port avoids long overland drives after the vehicle lands, pointing out that Kuching serves the southern region, Bintulu the central and northern areas, while Sibu and Miri cater to more remote coastal locations.

The company said the new schedule adds twice‑weekly sailings on the Klang‑Kuching and Klang‑Bintulu routes, a move it attributes to growing demand for door‑to‑door vehicle delivery in East Malaysia. “Our dedicated staff manage the entire process, from documentation to clearance, so owners can track their vehicle at every step,” the statement added.

Rentaka’s pricing is port‑to‑port and excludes marine insurance, which is calculated according to each vehicle’s insured value and the existing motor‑vehicle insurance policy. The firm requires owners to provide a copy of the vehicle’s registration, key acknowledgment and, where applicable, the vehicle’s insurance policy for verification, the announcement explained.

Customers can obtain a quotation by contacting Rentaka via WhatsApp, phone or an online form. The company highlighted that the rates are final after confirmation of the shipment date and vehicle dimensions, and that any changes to the sailing schedule will be communicated promptly without additional charges.

The transparent pricing model and real‑time communication aim to differentiate Rentaka from competitors that often bundle hidden fees into final invoices, the release said. By offering clear rates and a full audit trail, the logistics provider hopes to capture a larger share of the growing market for vehicle relocation between Peninsular Malaysia and East Malaysia’s four main ports.
