How Our Rental Arrangements Work

Optimari doesn't operate a traditional drive-up counter rental. Each plan is arranged in advance through direct contact with our team. That allows us to prepare the vehicle properly, put together the right guidance materials, and conduct a meaningful briefing at pickup rather than a rushed key exchange.

Our three plans map to different journey types. The day plan is suited to Sandakan and its immediate surroundings. The three-day plan covers inter-state Sabah travel. The weeklong plan accommodates extended touring, with a mid-week check-in to keep guidance relevant as the journey develops.

Every plan comes with a documented vehicle check, a briefing on the vehicle's characteristics and efficiency, and materials calibrated to the length and route of your trip.

Our Methodology

  1. 01 Customer enquires about a plan and shares intended journey details
  2. 02 We confirm the vehicle, pricing, and included materials
  3. 03 Vehicle undergoes documented readiness check before collection day
  4. 04 At pickup: briefing, materials handover, any route questions addressed
  5. 05 Mid-week check-in for weeklong plans; return and summary at close

All plans require advance arrangement. Walk-in availability cannot be guaranteed. We recommend contacting us at least 48 hours before your intended collection date.

Plan 01 — Day Arrangement

Compact Lower-Emissions Day

RM 540  ·  1 day  ·  Compact vehicle

A single-day arrangement with a lower-emissions compact vehicle. Suited to Sandakan town, the nearby coastal areas, the Kinabatangan road, and similar single-day distances. The vehicle is compact enough for urban manoeuvrability but adequately comfortable for full-day use.

At pickup, the customer receives a fuel-saving notes sheet covering the vehicle's most efficient operating range, recommended speed bands for the roads they're likely to use, and a few practical notes on reducing unnecessary fuel consumption during city driving.

  • Lower-emissions compact vehicle for up to 24 hours
  • Fuel-saving notes sheet at pickup
  • Briefing on vehicle characteristics and efficient use
  • Documented vehicle readiness check completed prior to collection

Plan 02 — Three-Day Arrangement

Three-Day Lower-Emissions Plan

RM 1,800  ·  3 days  ·  Mid-size vehicle

A three-day arrangement with an efficient mid-size vehicle. Suited to journeys that extend beyond Sandakan into other parts of Sabah — the Kinabatangan wildlife corridor, the route toward Kota Kinabalu, the Crocker Range approaches, or similar inter-state travel.

In addition to the fuel-saving notes sheet, this plan includes a route review conducted at or shortly before pickup. The review highlights corridors with lower typical fuel consumption, timing suggestions to avoid heavy traffic on key routes, and notes relevant to the roads the customer intends to use.

  • Efficient mid-size vehicle for up to 72 hours
  • Route review for fuel-efficient inter-state travel
  • Fuel-saving notes sheet included
  • Pickup briefing and documented vehicle check

Plan 03 — Weeklong Arrangement

Weeklong Lower-Emissions Touring

RM 4,200  ·  7 days  ·  Touring-class vehicle

A seven-day arrangement with a fuel-efficient touring-class vehicle. Designed for customers who want to cover significant distances across Sabah — multiple regions, national parks, and long-distance routes — without changing vehicles or renegotiating terms mid-journey.

The weeklong plan includes the route review and fuel notes, plus a mid-week check-in — a brief phone or message contact around day three or four — to note approximate mileage and gather any observations. At return, a journey summary is prepared that consolidates the consumption data and route notes from the full rental period.

  • Fuel-efficient touring-class vehicle for up to 7 days
  • Route review and fuel-saving notes at pickup
  • Mid-week consumption check-in (day 3–4)
  • Written journey summary provided at return
