Lorry rental prices in Malaysia (2026): per trip, per day and per month
What a lorry costs in Malaysia per trip, per day and per month, with or without a driver, what the price includes, and what makes it go up — with market ranges from public price lists.
Typical prices per trip
Market ranges from public Malaysian price lists and guides (2024–2026), for a lorry with driver within one city (Klang Valley rates; other cities are often a little lower):
- Van or 4x4 pickup: from about RM50 for a short trip.
- 1-ton lorry (10 ft) with 2 crew: about RM250–RM370 per trip.
- 3-ton lorry (14 ft) with 3 crew: about RM490–RM620 per trip.
- 5-ton lorry (17 ft) with 3 crew: about RM630–RM790 per trip.
- 10-ton lorries, trailers and full loads: no published standard rates — these are quoted per job in Malaysia.
These are market estimates, not CariLori prices. CariLori doesn't set prices: suppliers see your request and quote the real price for your exact job — quotes for the same job commonly differ by 20–40%, so compare a few.

By the day and by the month
Public Malaysian price lists (2025–2026) for longer hire:
| Lorry | With driver, per day | Self-drive, per day | Per month |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1-ton (10 ft) | from about RM500 | about RM295–RM650 | about RM2,200–RM5,500 |
| 3-ton (14 ft) | from about RM700 | about RM450–RM750 | about RM3,300–RM6,500 |
| 5-ton (17 ft) | ask for a quote | about RM850 | about RM3,300–RM8,000 |
Day rates with a driver usually include the loading crew within the city; outstation trips cost more. Weekly self-drive hire works out cheaper per day. Monthly prices vary widely: long-term contracts sit at the low end, short self-drive monthly hire at the high end. Fuel and tolls are usually extra. Driving yourself? See self-drive lorry rental.
What's usually included — and what's extra
- Included: the lorry, the driver and fuel. Crew (loaders) are included in the packages above but not in bare "lorry only" rates.
- Tolls and parking: charged at cost.
- Waiting time: commonly RM30–50 per 30 minutes after a free first 30 minutes.
- Extra stops: about RM10–12 per stop.
- Tailgate (lift at the back): around RM75 when it's an add-on.
- Extra workers: about RM50–80 per person.
What pushes the price up
- Distance: interstate trips cost roughly 1.5–2.5 times a local trip — fuel, tolls and the driver's time back.
- Weekends and month-end: typically 20–30% more, because everyone moves then.
- Last-minute bookings: 20–50% more. Book a few days ahead when you can.
- Stairs and distance from the parking spot: more crew time; see the extras above.

Questions
How much does a 1-ton lorry cost per trip?
In-city with 2 crew, public Malaysian price lists put it around RM250–RM370 (2024–2026). Lorry-only on-demand delivery starts lower. Your exact price depends on distance, floors and timing — post a request to get real quotes.
Do lorry prices include tolls?
Usually not — tolls and parking are charged at cost on top of the quoted price. Ask the supplier to confirm what's included before you agree.
How much does a 10-ton lorry or trailer cost?
There are no published standard rates for 10-ton lorries, trailers and container trips in Malaysia — every job is quoted. Post your route and load and suppliers will quote your job directly.

With a driver, from about RM700 a day; self-drive about RM450–RM750 a day (public price lists, 2025–2026), plus fuel and tolls.

About RM2,200–RM5,500 for a 1-ton and RM3,300–RM6,500 for a 3-ton (2025–2026). Long-term contracts cost less per month than short self-drive hire.
