The most important thing is to be prepared for the border crossing so you don’t run into delays. If you’re traveling with a private driver, they’ll happily help you with the paperwork. Other than that, enjoy the ride, and take in as many sights as you can!

That depends on your travel preferences. If your top priority is saving money, the bus is cheaper. But it’s also slower, less comfortable, and has a more complicated border crossing that requires you to lug your luggage around. Renting a car is more complicated than other places as driving to Malaysia is not possible with just any rental, and usually has a pretty hefty surcharge. Then dealing with busy streets and the border crossing make it pretty stressful. If the travel experience is most important to you, taking a private car with a company like Daytrip is the best option. You'll travel door-to-door, and can decide when to be picked up and where you’re going to stop for sightseeing!

You'll need a valid passport for crossing into Malaysia. Most nationalities don't require a visa for short visits. Fill out immigration forms completely and keep entry/exit cards as they may be needed again.
