Choosing the right type of car hire in Miri depends on when you intend to be there. During the monsoon season, wiser choices are a 4x4 or a rugged SUV, especially if you're going sightseeing outside of the city. If you're sticking to the main roads, an MPV will be fine too. Outside of monsoon season, a nifty compact car will do you just as well as in any city if you're alone or with a partner. Choose a sedan or saloon model if you're in a group or with your family. Bigger tour groups can hire larger passenger vans.

The speed limit within the city limits of Miri is 60 km/h. In the surrounding areas, it's subject to seasonal changes and can vary depending on the time of year. Pay close attention to the yellow rectangular speed limit signs. On federal roads within the surrounding area, the maximum speed allowed is 90 km/h. However, this changes during the Malaysian festive seasons, reducing to 80 km/h. The same applies to the larger interstate roads. The speed limit on expressways is 110 km/h, but keep an eye out when you're driving in mountainous areas, where it can change to 80 or 90 km/h.

Parking zones in Miri are divided between municipal and privately owned facilities. Coin-operated meters are the usual type of paid parking on the street. If you're staying for a while, you can purchase a monthly parking permit, if you like. In the paid car parks, you simply drive in and park. An inspector will place a ticket on your window, which you pay at the booth when you leave. You can be fined for not displaying a valid parking ticket on your window in a regulated car park, so be aware of that. As a rule of thumb when looking for on-street parking, avoid any bays with single or double yellow lines.
