The best and worst countries to drive in as a tourist

Driving in a foreign land offers unparalleled opportunities for adventure, allowing you to explore new horizons at your own pace. However, it also presents challenges, from unfamiliar roads to varying rules and the dynamics of local traffic.

Road Quality: Singapore – 6.45/7

Singapore continues to set the benchmark for road infrastructure with a road quality score of 6.45 out of 7. Travelers can enjoy smooth and seamless drives, whether navigating the bustling city streets or cruising through scenic highways.

This world-class road system ensures a comfortable and stress-free driving experience for all. The Southeast Asian country also ranks on top for safety according to the study.

Most Bang For Your Buck: Malaysia

Malaysia may not be known for its roads but it does have the best fuel prices. According to Zutobi the country remains a top choice for economical road trips with its remarkably low fuel prices, averaging just $0.46 per litre.

This makes it easy for travellers to explore Malaysia’s vibrant cities, lush rainforests, and stunning coastlines without worrying about fuel expenses. Affordable fuel ensures every journey is as budget-friendly as it is unforgettable.

Malaysia also offers exceptional value for foreign drivers with an average cost of just $1.28 for two hours of off-street parking.
