Taxis: Taxi you can count on
  • Tip Rating:
  • If you are looking for a reliable, honest and low-priced taxi-driver in KL? I can recomend Mr. Kevin Low. For RM 25 per hour, he drove us around, gave tips and lots of explanations.

    Taxis: Taxi Everywhere
  • Tip Rating:
  • I did not use taxi services going around the city of Kuala Lumpur, but rather comfortable boarding a taxi from the KTM Train Station to Corus Hotel. Find the metered taxi in a queau just at the exit. Very couteous driver.

    Going around the city attractions using a tourist bus, I have seen taxis plying around so I believe you can flag down one anywhere in the city. I have posted pictures two types of taxis in Kuala Lumpur streets.

    If you are at Suria KLCC, the taxi stands can be found outside Ampang and Ramlee mall entrances.

    Taxis: Always use taxi
  • Tip Rating:
  • Kuala Lumpur is very big town and it is hot weather all year long. The best way to get around is to use taxi. Drivers are kind and service is cheap. They all have air conditioners.

    Taxis: KLIA Airport Taxi - Budget or Premier
  • Tip Rating:
  • Getting out of KLIA, you'll have a choice of the taxi or the Express Rail Link (ERl a.k.a CAT). Getting a taxi is not a problem.
    However, if you are in Kuala Lumpur for the first time, the people at the Official KLIA Taxi Counter will ask you whether you want a Premier Taxi or a Budget Taxi. Most of the time they will tell you to take the premier taxi.

    Scenario 1
    They will always ask you how persons are with you. If you say 2 or more persons with large pieces of luggages, they will say you cannot take the budget taxi. You will have to take the premier taxi WHICH is more expensive (obviously by its name)

    Scenario 2
    Other times they will tell you that the queue for the budget taxi is too long and you may have to wait half an hour to 45mins for a taxi. Hence you are advised to get the Premier Taxi.

    SO, If you are in Kuala Lumpur, say 3 of you (or less) with 2 large pieces of luggage (but should be able to fit in the luggage compartment) - For The First Time, you may be inclined to take the Premier Taxi.

    Trust me, you can still fit into the Budget Taxi. The cab driver of the Budget Taxi will accomodate.

    Just tell the people at the counter , you want a Budget Taxi. Even though she will ask how many persons and/or pieces of luggage you have. Just maintain your stand and insist you want a Budget Taxi. No buts and if.

    You should be alright.

    Taxis: Stopping A taxi
  • Tip Rating:
  • On the first few days we did most of our sightseeing either with the hotel tour bus or got a taxi from infront of the hotel,but once we went out for dinner and when we wanted to come back by taxi we thought we can get a taxi from anywhere,but then after so many taxies passed by us and not a single one had stopped that we need to get to a taxi station is order to get into one.
    The prices are usually marked by a meter,but some greedy taxi driver might try to rip you off,so make sure you either ask them to turn the meter on or bargain before you hop in the taxi!

    Taxis: Taxi coupon counter
  • Tip Rating:
  • Sometimes going around by taxi can be very unpleasant! Calling taxis donīt appear, drivers overcharge you, manipulate the meter or do unwished sightseeing trips with you.
    It is also difficult to get a teksi on weekends, rush hour times and while/after heavy rain showers.

    Buying a taxi coupon at a counter is a little bit more expensive, but you get to your destination as quick as possible and there arenīt any discussions about price.

    You can find taxi coupon counters at the exit of:

    KLIA Airport
    Low Cost Carrier Terminal
    KL Sentral
    Bird Park at Lake Gardens
    Time Square Mall
    Sunway Pyramide
    1Utama, new wing

    Taxis: Taxi service from KLIA or around KL
  • Tip Rating:
  • When I am in KL, I use a lad called F.K. Yap - if you call him in advance, he can meet you at the baggage claims at the airport ... or he can show you around etc. using his faithful Proton Wira. Call him in advance to book and MAKE SURE you agree on a rate first.

    Sample Rate: RM 50 for airport transfer to downtown.

    Taxis: Big Group Travel - Minivan Taxis
  • Tip Rating:
  • If you are travelling in a big group, it may make more sense to try to book a minivan taxi to bring the entire group from the airport into the city, rather than take separate cabs.

    Go to the "Airport Taxi" counter after exiting.
    That will save you the hassle of fending off the touts outside the airport.

    Bargain if necessary. You'll be surprised that you may shave some ringgits off your bill.
    The cost should be around MYR160 (circa 2005) for a minivan that could carry 6-8 passengers.

    Taxis: Taxi
  • Tip Rating:
  • Taxi's are plentiful and quite cheap. Most are Aircon. Drivers mostly speak or at least understand English. Make sure they use the meter or they will charge you double the going rate!
