You can cover the south, west and north of the island in one day, because a five-seat sedan handles the 25 to 35 minute drives between the main stops without fuss.
Airport to Kuah town: about 25 minutes
Collect the Almera at Langkawi International Airport and head to Kuah for supplies, duty-free browsing or an early lunch.
Kuah town to Tanjung Rhu: about 30 minutes
Drive north for the beach and the mangrove edge. The road is quiet, which suits a sedan with a small turbo engine.
Back to the west coast: Pantai Cenang
Return across the island for sunset on the beach strip. Allow 30 to 35 minutes from Kuah Jetty.
Another day: SkyCab at Oriental Village
Pantai Cenang to the cable car is 20 to 25 minutes, so keep the first day for the north and save the SkyCab for a morning start.
Driver's note
Driver's note: Malaysia drives on the left and the Almera is right-hand drive, like every rental car on the island. Take the first few minutes slowly in the airport car park, especially at junctions and roundabouts.
The Nissan Almera can be collected at Langkawi International Airport (LGK) or at Kuah Jetty. Pick the point that matches how you arrive, and use the Return to another location option if you leave from a different place.
Land, pick up the Nissan Almera and reach Pantai Cenang in about 10 minutes or Kuah town in about 25.

We picked the Nissan Almera because the Vios was booked. It turned out to be a comfortable sedan, and the boot took our two cases easily. Airport pickup was quick, and the drive to Pantai Cenang took ten minutes.

The Almera had enough space for four of us and three bags. The kids slept in the back on the way to Tanjung Rhu, and the air conditioning worked well. Automatic made the trip simple, and booking took a few minutes.

Four friends and a long weekend. We shared the driving, since the automatic suits everyone. The turbo engine felt lively on the road north, and parking near the beach was easy. Pickup at the airport took only a few minutes.

A relaxed week of beaches and dinners. We took the Nissan Almera from Kuah Jetty and drove across to Pantai Cenang in about half an hour. Good boot space and a smooth ride on the main roads.

I rented the Almera for eight days. It handled supermarket runs, the cable car and a few long drives without any trouble. Clean car, clear handover and a simple return at the airport.
